What is your job?

Forums New posts
I am a personal security specialist. Just finished a four year stint in the West Bank and now working independently mostly for a client in NYC. When not on the road I teach the Texas CHL class and a bit of m-4 and shotgun as well as currently studying for a personal trainer certification. Fast bikes,big guns.

Staying busy I guess.

This has been fun to read. I’m an instrument designer at a large oil refinery. I started at my present location many years ago thinking it would be another one to two year job. Six contract companies and a completely new skill set learned every five or six years has kept it interesting. Still here!! They hire big E&C companies to design and build new process units and I get to maintain them. It’s amazing how much time, money, and effort it takes to keep one of there places safe and running. 90% of the time I really like going to work. There is so much interesting stuff in my job I haven’t tired of it. Someday I’ll probably quit over some inane safety/security issue.

That's funny. Years ago I got a degree in instrumentation and never could find an opening. Now I see them everywhere.

About to start my part-time career as a motorcycle instruction coach to keep my sanity. Not for the pay but to do something I like.

I was approached for that at a track day, but all I could think of was losing my weekend rides. Not sure about scheduling, but it sure sounds interesting - and apparently they like having female instructors to keep the ladies in class more comfortable.

I'm the chief of the business news copy desk at a Major Metropolitan Daily. In plain English, that means I supervise the people who write the headlines and do the final edits on stories in the Business section.

I also manage to get a little writing into the paper from time to time.

I feel the same way at my job....the 2 managers that are over the administrative staff (me + 2 others) are nonmanagers and it's been screwed up for several years now.

I think I'm in a rut.
 
Bicycle messenger! One of the few remaining in Dallas. When I started in 2000 there were over 20 of us, now maybe ten are left. **** Special Delivery is killing off the Dallas bike messenger. I mixed in about a year or two of the last 8 years delivering metroplex-wide on motorcycle, but eventually you start pushing it too hard and taking stupid chances just to make an extra $20. I have had quite a few close calls and am glad to be pedaling for money with slightly less risk involved.
