Your profession?

[JunkyII]

I'm in the business of premeditated murder against the enemies of the United States.

[Maverick]

Junky, not murder, just retiring enemies of the US. Or if you will, simply pest rewmoval.

I'm in the business of premeditated murder against the enemies of the United States.

Private Griff: "I can't murder anybody."

Sergeant Possum: "We don't murder; we kill."

Private Griff: "It's the same thing."

Sergeant Possum: "The hell it is, Griff. You don't murder animals; you kill 'em."

[MrGeezer]

You must be really smart.

Not really.  Our broadcasting company back in the early '90s had extensive training on "Service/Quality", measures that can be adapted to most any business--especially businesses dependant on highly active marketing  strategies, especially with customer service satisfaction, and teaching and upholding the ideals that the customer satisfaction also extends to respect of co-workers.  Plan so that nothing falls through the cracks and in case something does -- everyone from the most entry level person to the CEO picks up the slack and makes it right 100% --and ASAP.   It works.

I'm surprised at how many members have had really long term careers/jobs, many over 20 years.  That was my plan, but it didn't work out, the reverse did.

- started out as a piper in a military drill band that toured all over the world, while working part time at a range and did this after HS and while attending college for a few years

- Enroute Air Traffic Controller trainee for Transport Canada when I turned 19, did that for several years
- air quality technologist in the oil and gas field in Western/Northern Canada
- content editor for a gaming website
- Worked for Sig Sauer, as an armorer and pistol/shooting instructor for SigArms Academy
- Worked for a couple of private military companies as a contractor/PSD and instructor
- now been on disability for almost 4 years, just turned 40, and would love to be able to add to the list again someday

That's quite an eclectic list! That's pretty awesome! Makes you a well rounded and accomplished individual.

Have a Co worker that's has been at the plant I work at. For 43 years. He started when he was 18 or 19 from what I herd.

[Volron]

My job's average is around 15 years.  I myself have been a City Bus Driver for 7 years.  I can't complain, truth be told.  I get to do something I really enjoy doing, driving.  On top of that, I get fairly okay pay with decent benefits.  I likely meet more people in a day than a few of you do in a month.

You are correct Sir. Yes it's quite fantastic at the speed we are developing stuff. It's quite exciting!

I need a job near the end of next year when my military retirement rolls around.  You guys need an ex-fighter pilot with lots of primary flight instructor and MQ-9 time who is also a computer geek (comp sci program in college 20-ish yrs ago)?


edit:
Oh crap.  That's my whole resume, in one run-on sentence.  I'm never gonna find a job.

So, how would you react if some of your students left a fake dog crap on your desk? We did that in Middle school and the teacher was in tears. She thought it was real, you see, and picked it up with a Kleenex.

LAter, the Vice came in and talked to us all. The teacher retired soon after. She was a sad old biddy and could no longer function under the stress to which we'd subject her. I didn't have the heart to tell her of the horrors we'd've visited on her had our hearts been in the game. I felt she'd be even more sad if she knew that we'd checked swing with her, as opposed to really hammering her all horrorshow, as was our bent.

You've got to be fairly tough to function in such a field. Kids are "Lord of the Flies" scenarios waiting to happen... or, at least some kids are. I was a lot more Jack than Ralph, myself, and, as you can tell form above, idolized Alex DeLArge as a youth, before growing up to be all edjimicated and proper-like (which took a hard knock or two more than a hard knock).

What fun you must have had at the poor ladies expense. Please furnish us with details of how you have made other people's careers a living nightmare.
