What is your job?

I own a business that provides hot lunches to a private school with no cafeteria. All the food is contracted out to several providers who deliver it to the school, and my employees distribute it to the students who ordered lunch for that day.

After 17 years, this year is my last. I am retiring at the end of May. :yesgrin:

After 20 odd years of working for corporate America, and after our facility was closed, I and 3 colleagues started our own company. The intention was to develop our own products (electronics - video and audio related) but we seem to have picked up a ton of consulting work designing circuit boards for people. Hopefully it will continue as I am about to start making a pretty decent living from it. :thumb:

We do have our first product in the works - it's sitting on my desk waiting for me to figure out why it doesn't boot properly.

I am chief operating officer of a company I started in 1997. Initially a consulting company, we are about to turn the corner and release our first product.

But I am leaving that as my job and keeping it as my business. I'm bringing in better managers to deal with the product realese. I am going to work as an S1 Advisory Engineer with a contractor operated DoE facility once the clearance is done. I can't tell you what I will be doing there because "YOu Don't Need to Know". But in all honesty, *I* don't know yet.
So live your life and live it well.

I've spent the last 10+ years in a piano restoration shop/showroom where I do refinishing, belly work, pinblock work, deal with customers when boss-man is busy or out, install dampp chasers, install player systems, keep (try) showroom in good shape, and I get to be a mover as well.

I work part-time/as I'm available at my fathers piano service business a couple towns over, stringing, action regulating/tuning--still consider myself learning there. oh, and again with the moving. (local mover retired :mad2: )

The product is a solar PV inverter for residential applications. It is different than the rest of the market offering because it has a greater tolerance of partial shade on the olar panels...opening a segment of the market to solar.
So live your life and live it well.

I knew it........

When I hear a guy say he's "still looking", and especially when it is followed by "after all these years" I know I am talking to a lazy assed sponge. Most lazy assed sponges are "save the environment" types, and ignorant.

Here's some advice for you Moosetoe. You can walk out your door in the morning and there will be dozens of jobs within walking distance of your house. In the morning, get off your lazy ass and go get one. Stop sponging off your parents.

As Ann Coulter said, the quickest way to cure liberals is to force them to move out of their parents house and get a job......

Let me guess......

The Illuminati?
The Trilateral Comission?
The Neocons?
The evil Capitalists?
I know! Bush and his oil buddies!....

Maybe, if there are "people who don't want you to have a job", it's because you're such a pathetic loser that they don't want to have to deal with you.

They have McDonalds in Australia, don't they? Find one, and go to work. Get off your lazy ass and quit sucking off Mommy and Daddy. You're too old for that. Instead of spending your time on the internet talking about stuff you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about....

GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS AND GET A JOB.

The only one "who don't want you to work" is *you*, you lazy assed leech.

Because anyone worth a damn will work for whatever they can get before they lay on their ass and let someone else keep them up.

Be glad you aren't *my* son. I'd give you exactly one day to have a job. If you came home that night without one, I'd kick your sorry ass out and tell you to work or starve.

Might your pictures have been published somewhere where one might see them?
