Locksmith. Been at it off and on since 83. Tried my hand at something else for about 10 years, owner of a mid sized company doing paint and cleaning. Had about 50 people, too much work for me. Went back to locksmithing. It's the thing i love.

Hey Ya'll, Skeet here, This old broad is a police Sergeant. Been on the department for 25 years. I WILL retire in 2009 after June. As many of you have read in the past, I'm still looking for my own Nomad. There is a female officer who is on the horse patrol here in Nashville who is all of 5'2" rides a 2004. I'm trying to talk her out of it. She came up to me the other day and said she may sell the bike, but it wasn't the color I wanted!!! Oh, its silver and blue. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COLOR NOW, I JUST WANT TO RIDE TO CUSTER IN JUNE!!

Pipeline Operator. I run several pipelines in Eastern Canada from our control center in Edmonton. I started out operating a pipeline in Norman Wells which is 50 miles from the Arctic circle.....I know about cold!
Before that I worked overseas in Libya and Saudi Arabia as a well service technician. I lived in Malta for two years while doing that and thoroughly enjoyed that.
I started out in the Canadian navy and served aboard the HMCS Provider for several years. They said see the world but I only got to see San Diego five times..lol

Dean of students, head football coach, assistant wrestling coach and head boys weightlifting coach for high school. Been at the same high school for the past 26 years, coaching almost everything and teaching business subjects, math, science and English.

kawgirl · 12-22-2008, 11:34 PM

Special education teacher for 20 years. Dang, that's a long time to be in this area of education. Love my babies!

pirate · 12-22-2008, 11:57 PM

I'm a high school (grades 9-12) English teacher. This is my third year teaching, and I absolutely love it. I think I have the best job in the world. It definitely has its challenges, and no two days are ever the same. That's what I like about it.
I also have a degree in carpentry and spend my summers doing those types of jobs and riding the Nomad. I'm not taking on any jobs for this coming summer, as I'm going to be a daddy this summer. He or she arrives in three short months!

Have my dual tickets in Heavy Duty and Commercial Transport Mechanics, been pulling wrenches for 25 years. Now, hung up the tools and am now a business representative for the Machinists and Aerospace Workers Union. Our Union represents great members at Boeing, Kennedy Space Center, Harley Davidson, Air Canada, North West Airlines, to name a few.

Senior Appraiser, US Army COE...

I NEED to retire, they just asked me if my Passport was up to date.
And I think they're serious :'(

rksaw · 12-23-2008, 02:50 AM

Like Dougster, I too am a pastor. I have been a Youth Pastor at a larger church on the Oregon Coast for the last 7 1/2 years, but I'm about to get <s>demoted </s> I mean promoted and will be receiving my own church here soon (Coach and PC, is there anything better than getting paid to hang out with teens on New Year's Eve or on a Ski trip or Summer Mission? You can't beat it!).

Actually, I'm very anxious to get my own church, and am looking forward to the opportunity. This church that I will be going to is just ripe to grow and help the community they are in, and at 40, I don't bounce back as easily as I used to. I guess you have to grow up sometime.
