Another lawyer (lurking here cuz the 928 section is too quiet). I specialize in corporate law, doing everything from negotiating contracts to buying and selling businesses.

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time this "occupation thread" has popped up in the last year....

I retired 3 years ago (30 years a firefighter) also owned a business for 16 years, which I sold 4 years ago. Now I just ride my road & mountain bikes, play with the P-Car and the grandkids and travel. (and on occasion drive my wife crazy)

56 - retired and smelling the roses.

I'm a chemist. Spent my first 11 years with an environmental testing laboratory. Now I make cement...(that's different than concrete).

I hope to get into N11Porsche's line of work soon enough.

Thumbs up

I'm a regional manager and sales rep for a dairy. In my 924S days, I found I could get 9 cases of milk into the P-car! Speedy delivery!

I'm in sales for a national wire service. I work in the Nat. Press Bldg. in Wash. DC and get to read a lot of news before it's in the papers and I see famous people every day. It's a cool job.

Uh, here's a few from my resume:

Reason for leaving last job: They insisted that all employees get to work by 8:45 every morning. Could not work under those conditions. The company made me a scapegoat, just like my three previous employers.


Instrumental in ruining entire operation for a Midwest chain store. Note: Please don't misconstrue my 14 jobs as "job-hopping." I have never quit a job.


I have lurnt WordPerfect 6.0 computor and spreadsheat progroms.

It's best for employers that I not work with people.

--"Don't take the comments of my former employer too seriously; they were unappreciative beggars and slave drivers."

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.


But seriously, I am a secret agent, playboy, millionaire Porsche owner (1 out of 4 isn't too bad)

I guess these types of threads pop up periodically as the board population grows and grows. Thanks for the responses. We have a diverse crowd here eh?! "_

I'm the Content Development Mgr. for an online music company I helped start called Streamwaves.com. It's basically a giant (LEGAL) jukebox on the net and I work with record labels to determine which artists/content we want on the site. Helps satisfy my other hobby/addiction...music.
Very interesting thread...I wonder if there are any similarities in what we all do?
