I'm a professional writer (though my many typos in various postings, and questionable grammar seems contrary to the idea a bit, perhaps). I'm a part-time life drawing model a few times a year for fun and very casual wardrobe requirements.

Past careers have included the US Army (infantryman, then chaplain's assistant and oboist) for a total of 9 years between RA, NG and AR, messenger, and some other not so fun dead-end jobs. I can't forget my first job as paperboy growing up in LA.

Great thread!  I started with AT&T Bell Labs at the lowest possible position in 1978 and worked there until Bell Labs ceased to be in one of the spin-offs.  Took an early retirement and then worked as a contractor before being hired back into the same job when the company was purchased by somebody else.  Most of that time I was a UNIX system administrator.  For the last few years I've been a CAD data manager and now I maintain and write web code, and do SAP administration and Pro Engineer CAD administration.  That was a big mouthful to say that I basically  do what they ask me to so afterwards I can go home, spend time with the lovely wife, sing at church, build bows, knapp flint and hunt deer and hogs.  It's been a good life.

After I got off of active duty I got a job as a security guard at the base I was stationed at, been doin that now for almost 2 years.  Hoping for a job change here soon into the offshore oilfield.........if they would ever call me back.

Outlaw ,I too am a Turd Herder,Doctor of Dodo.I'm a Chief plant operator on a little barrier island on the West coast of Florida.We are on a canal so there are always manatees and fish to play with. It keeps me busy and pays the bills. Fishin' and beating on rocks keeps me sane.
