What do YOU do for a living...

[Vortech347]

I can imagine a Realtor using a Marauder to show houses to clients:

"That one's white, this one has three bedrooms, now we are in the next town but that is still in your target area - this one's quaint - that one's modern - next town - let's go back to the office by the highway - here we are, did you see anything you liked?"

The last guy I worked with kept askin, "can we get this car in with an offer?" :P

Its awesome.

After 9 years as a professional union I.A.F.F. Fireman I'm now a disabled retired Fireman/Paramedic :( . I officially went off the books with the city on July 1st. After two surgeries and four doctors who said I could not go back to the job I will be starting college again. On July 18th I will begin my Bachelors B.A.M. (Bachelor of Arts in Management) Program at Benedictine University :grad: . This program is designed for Firemen and Policemen that want to move up in their careers into an administrative position. It's been twenty years since I've been an "official student" so this is going to take some getting used to. If all works out well I will continue on with the Masters program in the summer of 2008 and then hopefully get a Fire Chiefs job somewhere.

Congrats on the career move. I think you'll find that school as an adult is a lot different than it was as a young'n. When I went back for my BA/MA as an adult, I was motivated and genuinely interested in the course work.

[texascorvette]

Sounds like most everybody but me has a job. It's a great country if you're not 60 years old, and they send a 24-year old neophyte in to be your manager. Decided he didn't want an old fart around who knew a hundred times more about the business than he did. Guess he viewed me as a threat. What he wasn't experienced enough and/or bright enough to realize is that his biggest worries should have been his own insecurity and lack of experience. I'm sure I'll have the last laugh, but, in the meantime, it's aggravating. Gives me a helluvalot more time to tool around in the MM!!

Lead a team of manufacturing engineers that develop the processes and launch the tooling in the plants for the new car & truck bodies that Matt In Detroit designs.

I had the opportunity to work on the original Grand Marquis upon which the Marauder is based, spent lots of months / years at the St. Thomas assembly plant back in the early 90's.

I always hoped they'd build a Crown Vic GT, but
the Marauder is cooler. It's a kick to own a product that you worked on.

Wow, I just noticed when I logged back in that I had last been on the site on 12 May.

I did a search and think I am the only one here who is a college professor. I have been "working" in one of my areas of specialization, the politics, culture and economic development of Southeast Asian countries which is why I was gone for almost two months. the only way to study this interesting topic is to go to these countries;Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, etc. and see what is going on. Did my first trip to SEAsia courtesy of Uncle Sam in 68-70' and got hooked. now trying to convince my wife we should take the marauder to Thailand where we will live when I retire in a few years!

Very interesting thread this.

Just did a weekend run to Memphis to visit Graceland. Great cruise on the as yet unfinished I-22 corridor from Birmingham to Memphis.

Best to all, Bob

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!Ginny and I wish you the best in your chosen career in the Air Force. She was an Air Force Nurse and I was a pilot--met in the hospital--I was the one in the bed:D . We both agree that our service in the Air Force was one of the best things that happened to us. Our advice to you is---Keep your eyes and ears open--learn everything you can--take advantage of every advancement offered you and remember that--during training, nothing they do or say is personal--it's OK to hate your drill Sgt. and think superior officers are stupid---just don't tell them. Keep a cool head --and smile a lot. Go get 'em Tiger.....1st Lt. Mildred J. Seitz, USAFN and Capt. J.M. Seitz, USAF

[HotrodMerc]

[QUOTE]That sounds like a good plan, and I'm sure there are benefits to that approach. I guess the only possible drawback can be is that once your organization gets so big, then you can have the top dogs who make all the decisions so far removed from what actually goes on, that it all becomes so inefficient, that you wind up with one big bureaucracy.


That's how it is where I work. It's so big, and the guys who make the decisions about how the place gets run, and about what changes are implemented, are so far removed from what actually goes on in the manufacturing processes, that the place doesn't run anything close to smoothly, and lower management participates in a type of conspiracy to cover-up and hide what's really going on from middle and upper management lest they find out, and require lower management to actually do their job.

BillyG, sorry to butt in here late, couldn't help but observe that what you describe, seems to be in one way or another the modus operandi for much of our society.

^^^ What Mac said! ^^^ All you Lurkers and Ghosts! Time to post. There are no silly questions or wrong answers here. Come join in on the fun. You know about us, let us get to know you. :2thumbs:

Just noticed this thread three hours ago, when my eyes weren't burning from staying up and reading it.

Chiropractor, eight yrs. in the city and 11 here in the Oklahoma hills. Other careers of 2 and 4 yrs. in pharmaceutical sales and long term care (nursing home administration); brief stint during college in PT dept. of a large hospital as an orderly, trained in heavy equipment operator in Army AIT in '67 for the National Guard, then transferred to Army medical unit, then Air National Guard medical evac. unit. (Have been in a flying Marauder, B-25??, and would have loved to been a pilot, but they didn't take the near sighted back then) The last few years I mostly do chiropractic adjustments with an instrument ("low force technique") but still do the conventional techniques, according to what seems appropriate for the person. After 19 yrs. of practice have recently decreased office days to 3/wk. Need more time to try to grow a lawn on this 2.5 acre rock pile passed off as a residential lot, then repair my lawn equipment. Also aspire to get back to doing art, which i did as my real labor of love prior to chiropractic school, and made a few bucks at, but spend most of my free time on the car habit. Have run my office alone for last 6 yrs, small practice, small income, but a lot of satisfaction in helping people, and my wife (a teacher) is happy here, as is age 14 daughter. They love the MM, and the Mustang, but wish we would drive the MM more.:banana2: Would like to drive it more, but just trying to decide what to do with it as far as mods, and am leary after some of the experiences with the Mustang, plus just getting time to do it.

Have really enjoyed reading everyones' posts, and thanks to Logan for starting the thread, as well as site. Logan, hope you will go have some ribs and a cold one for me at Rudy's, and ask them to expand to Ft. Smith, AR.
Hope to be able to attend a M'ville in near future.:beer:

I build Lennox air conditioners and heaters in iowa

they screw us daily, by a trane or some other company

I welded for Trane Company for 9 years. They fired me after my Dad died. I had one week off for bereavement. I went to HR and asked for a second week off (personal business). They gave it to me, no questions asked.

I even had to write it down! "I, Lead Foot, have been given 3 personal business days off work." It was signed by HR and myself.

When I came back the following week, they fired me. They gave me "personal leave" instead of "personal business" days. Since you are required to call in before the begining of your shift each day while on personal leave, I got fired.

The Union was going to fight for me. They gave up after a month. The Company had actually thrown out my personal file. Claimed it was now "my word V.S their word".

Great job. Great pay. Great benefits. *****ty Union....:mad:

Been out of town for a while and just noticed this thread.

My official title is Tissue Bank Specialist. I make bone grafts out of human donor bone, and human skin grafts for burn patients. I also harvest the bone and skin from donors. It is gruesome at times, but rewarding. If you have ever had vertebrae fused, chances are the donor bone they used to fuse it came from our company. I also worked as a paramedic for 6 years, with a stint as a Ford dealership mechanic thrown in there for a year.

I'm a customer service rep for a national catalog retailer. In my spare time, I write for a regional motorcycle magazine called Quick Throttle.

[JACook]

I work for IBM as a Top Gun.......... really....
I believe you. Been with IBM for 27 years. My current assignment is West Region DASD Top Gun (although
I still prefer my old title of Region Technical Support Specialist).

For the benefit of the 'civilians' DASD is shorthand for Direct Access Storage Device. AKA "hard disks".
But not just any hard disks. The disk systems I support can hold anywhere from 2 to 200 terabytes, and
cost anywhere from the mid-low six figures to well into the sevens, depending on capacity and features.

My job is to provide hardware technical support to the local people who keep these systems running 24/7.
The region I support spans pretty much everything west of the Mississippi, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Like fastblackmerc, I'm one of six in the West Region who support my product set, work out of my home
office, and never really know where I will be tomorrow. Gives a huge incentive to get good at remote
diagnosis. Air travel gets old really fast, and if I can resolve a problem at the other end of a phone, I'd
much rather stay on the ground.

Before joining IBM, I did stints as a mechanic in the Army and as a civilian, and also worked in a machine shop.
When I'm not travelling or otherwise tied up with work stuff, I spend a lot of my time wrenching on the family
fleet. I have a particular passion for engines, and how to make 'em better. I also have a perverse enjoyment
for diving into the innermost workings of automatic transmissions, though I much prefer driving a manual.
Apart from warranty work, none of my cars has been molested by anyone but myself since I was about 16.
Not even for simple oil changes. (I have trust issues.) :P


I knew somebody else on MM.net had to work here!
Yep, not surpised at all. I like to think we know a good thing when we see it. :)
BTW, IBMers can find me by the same shortname I use here.

Oh, and fastblackmerc and Dr Caleb- You have PMs...

[Mike Poore]

Just retired after 40 years as a research scientist at the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute. I was the guy who did the peptide maps on GP 120, the unique identifier of the various strains of the AIDS virus, used in the vaccine protocols they're working on, world wide, today. The last 15 years was spent working with the multi-drug resistant gene that prevents chemotherapeutic agents from working in human breast cancer therapy protocols, using a real time confocal adherent cell laser cytometer, ACAS. The instrument was made in East Lansing, MI, and I was the kinetic fluorescence guru.
My training is clinical laboratory technology and electron microscopy, and first job was at the 406th medical research lab at Sagami-Ono, Japan, where we searched for the over-wintering host of Japanese B Encephalitis, and production of anti-scorpion and anti-snake anti-serum doing thousands of mouse LD-50's. It was in '63-'64 during the Olympics, and me and my field crew spent a lot of time in the Kamakura area collecting mosquitoes.

No, the Nextel/iDEN development team is down in Plantation, FL. I work at the cellphone design HQ north of Chicago. The products I work on are used on GSM and/or 3G networks (Tmobile & Cingular in the U.S. among dozens of other global carriers).

I shoot movie stars at premieres and behind-the-scenes footage for some big TV network that starts with the letter 'N.' By the way, if you're still reading this thread, Logan, I've been "asked" by that network NOT to use the screename I have here anymore. I also have to ditch the "improper and unauthorized" use of the logo in my avatar. If you see this post, Logan, I guess, just change my username to "Network Shooter." Thanks.

Does your trunklid say 5.4?

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got
canned. I couldn't concentrate.

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't
hack it, so they gave me the axe.

3. After that, I tried to be a Tailor, but I just wasn't suited for
it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job.

4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too
exhausting.

5. Then, I tried to be a Chef - figured it would add a little spice
to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.

6. I attempted to be a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it I
couldn't cut the mustard.

7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually I found I wasn't
noteworthy.

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but I didn't have any
patience.

9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. I tried but I just didn't
fit in.

10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't
live on my net income.

11. I managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance
Company, but the work was just too draining.

12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't
fit for the job.

13. After many years of trying to find steady work! I finally got a
job as a Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.

14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but I had to quit because
it was always the same old grind.

Damn, I'm impressed. Wish my brain worked half that well!

I cut meat, work for a food chain called Food Lion. The pay is pretty decent but the hours suck. Before this I worked at AMF Carolina Lanes as a mechanic and would fix whatever happened to the bowling machines, fun.

Hope to go back to school and train for Therapeutic Massage.

PR, thank you for some much needed humor (did you purposely omit being a baker and not feeling kneaded?). Just printed your post and will take it to my office. Thanks! HRM

Does your trunklid say 5.4?Used to (cheap thrills). I took the "5.4" sticker off when I debadged/filled/painted the rear deck lid, and had the taillights painted with the "S55" treatment. Need to add some new pictures here someday to show off the painted "S55" taillights/reverse lights . . .
