What's your 9 to 5??

Used to write software for big IBM machines, now I test software written for Windows thingies.
It's much more fun breaking other peoples programs than writing your own though less productive in the pursuit of popularity

Isn't that the truth!!!! I'd rather find the bugs in software than fix them...

'99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs,
fix 1 bug, compile it again, 101 little bugs in the code'...

Yup..at least in Oregon they do...pump your gas and everything

I thought they were limited to Oregon and New Jersey these days. . . . (if they are still required in NJ)

And probably charge more for it too.

You'd be surprised.

I have lived on the NJ boarder my whole life (first in NY and now in PA) and gas has always been so much cheaper over there that it has been worth the drive into Jersey to fill up.

I used to be an IT helpdesk person, but I have moved over to facilities.  I am a facilities manager for an oil and gas company.  On my free time, not working or smoking, I work on diesel trucks.  I just picked up a 1962 willys jeep (running and driving) that needs a little tlc.  I should have it ready to sell in a month.  I should be able to double my money on it when I sell it.

You fishing for buyers?  
I've always wanted a Willys P/U but, could never afford one.
Love to see some pics anyway.

I will try to post some pics tonight. I wasn't fishing for buyers, but.....  :lol!: 

I actually wasn't going to get rid of it, but it would take too much dinero to get it road worthy, and not just an off-road buggy. Old jeep Willys are in fairly high demand for restoration projects. So, I would love to get something else that is already roadworthy (and 4 wheel drive).

I was a tool and die maker for 3 years. Got tired of places laying off or shutting down and I've worked for a pet crematory and cemetery for the last 13 years. I am now a "funeral service director" but still do pretty much every thing that I have been doing for the last thirteen years. Which is pretty much everything from running routes going to veterinary clinics, loading, pulling, and processing pets ashes, doing clay paw print, making burial arrangements, inventory, burial services, cremation services, landscaping at both of the cemeteries I manage, order all the headstones ect. Pretty much do everything but the accounting. On the side for hobby/business I have Boulder & Briar. Doing stone carving and making pipes. Been carving stone for 18 years, making pipes now for 3 years. Plus a family of five, that's hard work too
Busy, busy!

 

[puros_bran]

I must say we have an rather interesting group of post so far.
I wish more people would chime in.

Since some are listing past jobs I'll flesh mine out a bit.

I lied earlier, technically I am not currently hauling horses although I am still listed on the payroll. I've been couch bound with a work injury since April 14... Open ended on the return date (if ever)
Prior to hauling horses I was a bivocational chemical transporter/Ordained Deacon-lay preacher.
Before that I owned a trucking company.
Before that I worked in Security, mostly Body Guard stuff with a wee bit of Investigative work for Social Security/Workmans Comp lawyers.
Before that I grew weed.
Before that I was a Professional Hurry up and Wait guy.
And finally before that I worked in Tobacco.

My job isn't interesting. Mostly password resets and telling people to reboot lol. :evil:  Telephone support doesn't get to help with the fun stuff. Every once in a while a civilian will find our number on the web some where and call to ask why the stars are following them. :fpalm:

Have you tried turning it off and on again? hahaha.

We once convinced some software engineers(!!!) where I work that when our core switch had a hiccup in the middle of the day, the reason nothing was working was because Google went down...

I thought I retired after 30 years of being a machinist but I grew restless.

For the last ten years I've been driving schoolbus.

The short ones. Transporting handicapped, wheelchair, and special needs students.

The EMT that rides with me is easy on the eyes and she doesn't like bras,,, :cheers:

Been told several times that macs never need to be rebooted and don't need updates. By "Mac users" Hhrrrumppphhh.  :lol:

I wondered why Americans online used 'short bus' as an insult, but never thought enough of those using it to actually ask.

That's one, very minor, mystery solved for me.
