What do you do for a living?

[toyotafan]

Hey everyone,

We have a wide variety of differnt types of folks on this board. I think it might be nice for everyone to let everyone know what they do for a living.

Me: I work for a software company doing marketing and communications. I run this board on the side.

Who's next?

I work for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. I'm planning to retire at 55 in 3 years 8 months. I do freelance writing and mush dogs on the side.

I work as a Quality Control Team Leader for Toyota West Virginia. I also own a new home construction company.

Wow, that's quite a different set of jobs. Do you swing a hammer or just own the company?

 

[tmprettyman]

I own and manage the company, and limit my hammer swinging as much as possible - I love the work but simply do not have the time. I leave most of the work to my guys or subcontractors, the experts. We are also pretty small, only a couple homes a year. I greatly enjoy both occupations, and the requirements are not as dissimiliar as you would think.

Well, there are technical people, managers and entrapenaurs (sp?) that make a company go. It's hard to manage and run a company when you also do the work.

I'm a reset specialist, my wife is my assistant on most of my projects, we work mainly in Lowes, but do projects in other chains, we sometimes work for 3 different companies so we can get busy, lately with the economy a mess we've been slow, for us things are picking up so we'll be busy.

Retired!!!

Looks like I am the only person retired. I retired at age 58 from managing the physical plant operation in a school district for over thirty years. My background is architectural planning and I have spent the last 8 years consulting with government. I am now fully retired and love traveling as well as pursuing my hobby of bird carving.

if you can get out of tickets then why you so scared to go over the speed limit when racing somebody

There's a little difference between a speeding ticket for 10-15 over and one for racing over 100mph!
