I've been a mechanic for 26 years, and have been ASE-certified as a Master Auto Technician for most of them. I now manage a fleet of portable restroom service trucks, with repair responsibilities for those trucks housed at our home office. For me, musclecars and hotrods are a passion.

I am a postal worker, also. Rural mail carrier for 28 years.  The USPS just offered me early retirement, but I can't afford to keep my toys if I retire now.  I will jsut wait 1 1/2 years til I have my 30 years in.

I've worked in the family business for 30 years. We sell & service major appliances, for the last 10+ years my position would be defined as purchasing agent but in a small business you wear many hats.   http://bobwallaceappliance.com/

"Client Service for Financial Institutions" = I have clients who make trades (stock market) and I make sure everything goes good and matched up.  Fresh out of college so I have been there 2 months.


before that shoeing horses...

I just watched the process of this on Dirty Jobs (great show) and was blown away on the process.  It was awesome to watch

This thought may not be politically correct, but is an opinion offered. It may be correct? or it may be wrong? It is not designed to appease those needing shelter from the real world.

 Currently an idle General Contractor, things are very slow right now.

 Never had an employee, I contract everything. Just too much work/risk.
