At least you can still shoot Vince. You like fishing? ;D Yup but haven't done much in years. Did some in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and caught alot of Rainbows. Here I think you almost need a boat will have to investigate. Just joined a new Gun Club and they have a pond with fish on property. Might have to see if they have any Crappie......I LOVE Crappie. |

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (what used to be called Immigration or Customs, I was one of the Immigration folks)
"Where have you been? Why? And for how long?"
or, "Where are you going? Why? So you have your work authorization, right???"

Im a machinist. Changed jobs not to long ago to make more money and better benefits. But I think Im going back to my old job. In my old job we did just about all custom work, I loved it! People was all the time coming in with something broken they needed new parts made for. This is a big farming area and farmers were always bringing in broken parts from tractors and equipment that could no longer be purchased. I would set down and measure the pieces and make them a new part from scrach. I felt like I was really helping someone in that job.
My new job pays a lot more, I went from $15 an hour to $19 an hour. I have better insurance, more vacation, and now I even get paid sick days and paid holidays. But I aint as happy as I was in my old job. In my old job we worked 8 to 5, now its 8 till when ever. My old job I was off every weekend and holiday, now I cant even plan on doing things on the weekend because we never know until Friday if we have to work the weekend or not.
Now I work for a company that makes auto parts. Most days I do nothing but watch a CNC machine turn brake rotors from castings all day.
And by the way, my wife is a manager of a McDonalds! She has been doing that for 11 years, with her bonus last year she made $39,000, not bad for a hamburger joint! And she loves her job!

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - sounds better than it is!
We design and manufacture airport Crash Rescue vehicles, semi-trailers and hook-loaders for the dry waste industry, and special purpose vehicles/trailers for the military.
Best bit is that I get home in 10 minutes and can be out shooting rabbits or pigeons in 20. Oh, and I don't work weekends - ever. ;D

Field service engineer for a large business telephone system manufacturer. A glorified telephone man. I have been at it for the past 31 years. Our system go from small 4 lines up to over 24,000 lines. Practice makes perfect.
If you should see my Mom and Dad. Don't tell them what I do, they would be so disappointed. They really think I play piano in a brothel.
