Might as well add to the list. I am a former Marine who is presently employed at Coca-Cola as a technical servics manager. I am in charge of a bunch of guys making sure vending machines and fountain units are installed and work properly.

For those interested, yes my car is Guards Red. No wave graphics on the side though!

Cool

I think I posted this the last time...

I'm an attorney, focused on corporate law and a fair amount of technology and licensing. Before that I was imprisoned at EDS, from which I was paroled after 6 years.

After reading these posts, however, I've decided I want Kurt's job (pjv911).

I'm a speaker/trainer/consultant with the Ken Blanchard Companies, HQ'ed in Escondido, CA, USA.

I travel LOTS to fun clients like Genentech, AOL, KPMG, Merck, Pfizer, Honda, and Toyota.

I usually can drive up to LA-area clients in the Targa every quarter or so.

Cheers!

I'm disabled for the past 14 years and was forced to retire at that time because of it. I keep busy with several hobbies that I make a decent living at, and one hobbie that I spend that decent living on. guess which hobbie that is.

Funny, I worked on the HP3000 three years ago when this post was made. I also know exactly why the HP3000 is going away at the end of 2006.

These days I don't actually do anything.

I got laid off from Unilever a year ago, and since then I've been driving around in the 911, surfing and making excellent coffee.

I've got 6 rental properties so when the weather is not that good I paint a house, put French doors in, build a deck etc.

And it works out OK as I add $50k to a house with a makeover, plus the capital gain (4 are beach front), it makes good sense not to work
