Not open for further replies.
USAF computer tech (hardware on AWAC's)
Hardware tech on plotting and cutting platforms
Computer tech on Directory Assistance systems and related voice response systems.

Currently SS teacher and volunteer worker at a Christian School.
 
I was a teacher and coach and a lot of other things in the past.
Mostly I was in pharmaceutical sales for 18 plus years until I was layed off.
Out of necessity I ended up in landscaping and frankly I feel better about myself doing this.
I have no idea what else God has in store for me.

Hey Anthony, I thought you were a barber now?

No, never have been. My wife is the barber. I just own the shop. :D (And that's the way I like it.) I have been driving trucks on and off since I was 17. (I'm 34 now.)

Once upona time, used to be a software tester and database programmer /admin in my life before kids. Two of the coolest places I worked was Microsoft and Muzak(the elevator music people). Have also been involved leading many womens ministries over the years, from teams/events to Sunday School. There's something about worshipping God with all your sisters in Christ :bigsmile:

Pretty much can be summerized now as helpmeet, housekeeper, baker, student and teacher :)

I make cool toys for Navy flyboys. :cool:

Philip - oh my...your not far from the "land that time forgot." Five years ago I drove through China Lake towards Death Valley. There is a town there called "Trona." Freaky town. No one lives there. All the homes are abandoned. Reminds me of the "Andromeda Strain."

Never done that but I can appreciate your headaches. We just had our Astro in for a fix-up and now the Malibu is in to find out why the ABS light comes on ($$$) and the turn signals quit working (but you can re-start them by running the emergency flashers for a few seconds.) I don't think you could pay me enough to handle those calls you get.
