What's your job?
 

It occured to me today that I don't know what any of you around here do for work.... So, I ask the question, what is your job?

If you don't want to answer, you don't have to. I'll just assume you're in the CIA or the Mafia or something... :D

As for me, I'm a hardworking high school student!

Professional student :D

Web Site administrator :thumbup:

:bustingup

Actually my work title is CIA - Customer Information Analyst. Basically I maintain a customer database (names, addresses, credit terms, delivery routes and days, as well as pricing) for Pepsi Co. I also am the Payroll Administrator for our market unit.

Ucrew - :rofl: at the web admin thing. I wish I could do that and still afford all the toys I have now.

I wish I could do that and still afford to keep the gas tank on Full ;)

Non-practicing attorney doing estate and financial planning, insurance and investments, and some other VC kinda stuff. Mafia. :thumbup:

Early RetiredBum, as I pulled the ripcord 5 yrs ago this month, at 53. :D

No golden parachute, no buyout, no nothing but 30+yrs of hard work, luck, saving like fooking squirrels and some ballz to walk away when I was nearly on top, eg VP of Sales and Mkting.

Before that bailout, 30 yrs of sales, sales mgmt, senior mgmt, senior exc. jobs basically in the same industry: printing and publishing supplies. Long time with a large public co., a decade with a smaller startup that went public, and the last 11 w/a family owned, but worldwide priv. co.

I loved almost every min of the work, the customers, my sales and sales mgmt gang that reported to me, the travel, the great people whom I met, etc. I have avoided looking back, except fondly.

Never say never, but other than some vol. work I do, I will not work again, espc. in a 800 buck suit carrying daBag. Zero regrets, however. Keep plugging guys...ya'll young, smart and on the highway to success and most importantly, happiness & contentment w/your Fams.

I am a corporate and technical writer. What does a technical writer do? Well, you know those little (or big) manuals you get when buy a new PC or software? :D

I have done a little of everything, including:

- traning material
- user guides
- process documents
- web site content
- mass corporate communications
- many other boring things...

I will also be pursuing a Masters in Organizational Communications starting in a couple of months. Wish me luck. :)

Furthermore, I do some web site building, maintenance and administration. This is a hobby, though. For an example, look here --> the official web site of my neck of the woods. , for which I am the volunteer webmaster.

"As little as possible" but the theory does not match the reality. I seem to spend more time flying (over 250,000 miles a year).

Senior Management Technologist :thumbup:

Which is your favorite airline?

Estate planning and tax attorney. But I'd rather work on my cars :thumbup:

Fly United over 180,000 miles, rest on Lufthansa, LOT, KLM etc.

Favorite has to be Lufthansa, they treat me like one of their HON memebers even though all I have is Star Gold, all upgrades all the time :)

I think the real question is, who has the hottest flight attendents :D Air France is still up there as hottest that I've seen.

Get on Virgin between London and Athens sometime, :wow: .

JV

Dude not even close. Have you ever flown to SE Asia on Cathay Pacific or Air Thai? Bar none some of most beautiful women.

The worst is a tie between Air Canada and British Airways. They might as well have a bunch of guys serving me....makes no difference. (OK I'm bad, but it's true :D )

After nearly 30 yrs of living on planes, I haven't been on one in awhile, but back in the '90s Singapore Airlines had some beauties, of both gender.

Korean Air FAs were pretty fine, to my eye,too.

All this coming from an Scot-Irish decended anglo potatohead ol'geezer.
Just My2Cts. :p

Aside from continental travel, the only other places I've flown are France and Hawaii... think I've only been on US Air, TWA, American, Northwest, Air France, and United. I think you can see why I say from what I've seen, Air France has the nicest.

Agree with best and worst! Singapore Airlines :wow:

Got to get this out of T&A mode... :)

Well, I don't do 250,000 miles per year (typically 150k - 180k) but when you do that mileage, in my experience, the last thing you are doing is looking at flight attendants. It is all about how they treat you, from booking to baggage claim, nothing else. OK, schedules make the list.

Not sure about the flight attendants on Air France, but there are few airlines that I swore never to travel on again, and never did. Just too painful.

American Air ranks up there with them, too .... :p

you're right...doing about 150k a year, how fast my baggage comes out always tops my list of rants ...

I give my thumbs up to Singapore Airlines.. especially the ones in first and business class... :thumbup:

I've heard good things about singapore air...does their business class have lie-flat seating?

yup.. the raffles class is pretty cool...

The next 31 years should be at least as interesting as the first, as I'm starting to branch out into International real estate, specializing in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central & South America! Villas, beachfront condos, and tax benefits, it's a great field!
So if any of you would like to write off your tropical trips & make money while doing it, invest where you love to travel. Feel free to drop me a PM about the possibilities. My business is 90% by referral, but I try to extend options to others as I can.

No problem. :)

I'll merge the two threads together!
