What do you do for a living

[ghostrider_23]

I am a college professor

[ojstinson]

I did 11 years as a Southern Bell employee--lineman, installer, and finally an electronic switching systems technician. I got bored with working inside and became a Miami Dade county police officer---did that for 25 years and retired to Central Florida.

[tialloydragon]

I work as a site supervisor for a non-profit mental health agency.

You guys have some honorable professions - kudos to you gents.

I am a machinist. Not the useful kind, we do all the big stuff. Our lathes can handle up to 30' long, and about 5' diameter. The rail milling machine that I personally run can handle a 22' long part. And our crane capacity in the shop is 30 tons.

[ojstinson]

That sounds pretty honorable to me----I'd probably screw that up big time.

Alright, here is the piece we call the golden 1/4 mile. Underneath the B of A tower in charlotte stretching to the wachovia tower in charlotte and then to the JP morgan tower in Houston is the worlds biggest bundle of $. 650 trillion dollars in convenient trillion $ bills. Essentially we can just put a few of those in our pockets and leave. So here is the plan, you watch maker - you set all the clocks ahead an hour on friday after thanksgiving.
Then you electrical enginer turn off the electricity @ 5. That will mean everyone has to leave. The christmas tree and decorations are being delivered to the B of a building @ 5. However that is the correct 5 not the 5 we have set the clock to.

Then we dress up like christmas tree people and being along a huge a$$ christmas tree. While that is all happening and security is distracted, the 14 of us get in the elevators and press random numbers and get out. Then we get in the last elevator and take that 700 feet down. Then we can get the $ and change to normal people clothes and walk out. That simple.

Sorry 1 of you wont make it. We dont know who, but that's why we need 14, cos 650 million is divisible by 13. Perfect.

How's that plan.

Cool.
Buddha.

Nothing special. Just a software company for the last 30 or so years making software for bowling leagues and tournaments. I supply league and tournament software for those little known bowling companies like AMF and Brunswick. Seems they decided to buy my software and stop making their own. I guess I know what I'm doing.

Early on I made a program called Checks & Balances. Quicken out-marketed me so I switched to bowling software because I grew up a bowler (only about a 190 average these days). I do have a Windows 7 version of Checks & Balances we use in-house and in the tournament programs for financial records and check printing.

Also I have a heavy background in hardware design - having made lots of stuff with Z-80's, 6805's and now PIC and SX processors. Made a whole synthesized organ with about 400 Z-80's in the 80s. Made some automatic scoring parts that read camera data for Brunswick scoring systems to interface to 1050's AMF pinsetters.

I'm a NERD and PROUD OF IT!

I do wood working, too.

My baby --- 1923 Wurlitzer console. Restored. With all electronics on it. Pipes are Conn pipe speakers from the 70's which look cool and put the sound into the air more like real pipes. 32 separate channels of audio.
