I work as a chef for now, I say for now I've been doing it for over 20 years now but I have been back in school for just about a year now and when that's done (3 more years), I will have a degree in elementary and special education.

College Bookstore Manager for 25 years. Yep, I'm the guy that charges those extremely high "rip off" textbook prices to all you broke college students. How else am I gonna buy pipes and tobacco.
Not really, we don't control those ridiculous prices.

I'm a broke college student, but I don't by the text books because you can borrow them from the library for free
I'm not sure what I am going to do; I was a Computer Science major so I could do game design and programming, but I'm really not sure if I wanna continue. I'm thinking of working as a translator as I can speak English, Spanish, French, Italian, and I'm taking Japanese at the moment. Next two languages are going to be Mandarin and Arabic.

What do I do? Ha NOTHING! Retirement rocks! I've been an acute care New York City hospital administrator, clinical practice manager, University graduate program director and adjunct professor, and a volunteer Auxiliary Police Officer. Now I do what I want, when I want and I plan my activities around my next smoke. I always knew there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm just glad it's at the bowl of my pipe and not just in New Jersey.

I am a partner in an Immigration and Business Management Consulting firm. Basically, we help migrant investors either find a suitable business to purchase, or to plan and set-up operations on their arrival to Canada, and represent them on their application for Permanent Residence with Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
I will have a degree in elementary and special education.

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom since Career Cyndi didn't exactly work out with Mommy Cyndi. When I worked, I was in Strategic Operations at a large dotcom. Mostly I pulled data from our plethora of software and turned it into reports people could read and use. Every month my small team put out a 200 page report that was used to guide the company decisions.
Since I've switched to Mommy Cyndi, I've worked on small hactivist projects like getting smart phone translation and first aid apps in the hands of the NGOs in Haiti and keeping internet proxies active for Iranians during the protests. I also run our Etsy shop and work on my computers and art.

I suppose I'll jump in.
I'm a Purchasing, Materials, and Inventory Control Manager.
Over the years I have personally spent more than $450 Million of other peoples money.
That's nearly $1 Million a week. The closest I have ever come to spending a Million in a single day (which I have done many times) is $999,999.96. My co-workers asked my why I didn't throw in a couple of more washers, and hit that magic mark... "Where's the fun in that? That would be a waste."My experience includes purchasing everything from quarter penny washers, to multimillion dollar high-voltage transmission switch gear
, from gas-cans and peanut-butter to A-hmmm... ladies unmentionables. 
To me parts is parts.
One of the most enjoyable and personally-satisfying aspects of a position such as mentioned above is; twisting the arms of vendors and squeezing that extra 2 or 3% out of them over already reduced pricing.

I'm in a the Bovine Animal Husbandry business. My whole life I dreamed I was going to be a Navy SEAL but they told me my being afraid of the water "wasn't compatible with their objectives." Bastards. So now I help get cows pregnant. It requires a lot less candle light and Barry White music than one might imagine though I do like to dim the lights and play some smooth jazz to help set the mooooooooood.

Lawrence, when did you get your new job?
haunted......you don't have to "align" things do you
, or do you just stand back and videotape?
Posted 9 months ago # -
Had an interview today, for better money than last time.
I was told I may have 4 purchasing agents under mythumb... Uh, direction.
One hurdle down, one or two more to go.
I don't even know what it is I'm going to be buying yet...
But..."Parts is Parts"...
And vendors are fair game....

Private venomous snake keeper. You've never had a coming to Jesus "wow" moment until you've had a Black Mamba or Taipan slither up the snake hook, up your arm, and around your neck and kiss you on the lips unexpectedly.....All that and remaining calm! Those species in general are reactionary snakes. If you freak out, the snake will freak out, then you might die.
Part time tobacco and pipe hoarder.

Business Analyst/Data Steward. I'm another one of those people who takes large amounts of data and creates reports so simple even an executive can understand it!
Smokinjoe, many years ago I was a Cyptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) for the Navy. Basically, they taught me Mandarin and codes and stuff. Given your aptitude for language, I'm sure there are several elements of the government/military who would love to offer you some opportunities (I'm assuming you're American, but even if you're not I'm sure your home country could use a guy with your skills).
And the next time you're in the library, maybe check out a book on spelling and learn the difference between "by" and "buy".
Sorry, couldn't resist!

Military Intelligence Analyst, US Army. Not as cool as it sounds.
Currently assigned as a platoon sergeant for advanced individual training.
3 more years until I can retire, but haven't decided what I want to do yet when I grow up, so I'll probably stick around until they kick my out.Posted 9 months ago # -

Never dealt with snack food before.
I usually deal with manufacturers' Reps.
I don't always win, but I love playing the game.Posted 9 months ago # -
When I was in restaurant management the best fun was wheeling and dealing with the different food service reps. Got some fine deals . Didn't always get what I had set my sights on . But that's part of the game.

Don't be ridiculous. A man can't get a cow pregnant (though based off what many of the women visiting Americas theme parks look like, I could be wrong. Things have gotten positively Jurassic in middle America. What is it with Heifers and the need to wear spandex?) My buddy Edwin's job is to dress up like a female cow, get the bull excited and then catch his boys upon launch. From there, I take it and pour it in a turkey baster, get some lube and finish the job while talking softly to the ladies.

Personally; I appreciate that 12 oz. Medium Rare Ribeye steak I occasionally indulge in....
Thank you Haunted!
Wannafly: I still remember signing my name on a PO over $1 Million the first time... But, I don't even remember what it was for.
CRS I suppose... Sometimes I can't even remember what I had for breakfast, the day-after yesterday.
