Post a Photo of Your Job

Part of my job...away from the office, near Oxnard, CA, testing mowers on a sod farm...the only thing more boring than watching grass grow is watching other people cut it down.



Another part of my job...working the tent at trade shows and sponsor events (Daytona 500):

I sit at this desk way too many hours per week. I have reached zero desk space.

Alright - apologies for the terrible cameraphone picture. My part of the office... messy, looks like a bike shop, LOL.

I work for the state of Oregon, I don't have any pics, nor do I want any. My job is just another way for the state to overspend.

Looks like a house doesn't it?

I bought this on December 31st. Its now my place of business for my land surveying company. In September I lost my rented office to the Hurricanes. We got 2 of the 4 here on the east coast of Florida both eyes passing where I live.

My landlord was dragging his feet getting things fixed. I found a 15x30 room to set up a temporary office in then went to looking for a new space. None was to be found. I was lamenting to a Realtor/Client that I need to find something. He suggested a house along a commercial corridor. One hour later he found this house listed. We looked at it and I bought it. No joke, 4 months later I can make 100K off of this house. The seller had no clue what he was sitting on.

So now I own my building, no more landlord. Hurricane shutters go on in 3 weeks and a generator is being ordered.

Land Surveying, its a sucky business high liability and fees that do not reflect it.
