I used to live in Palo Alto. Now NY. Small world. Welcome to Net 54! :)

Thanks, Paul. Small world, indeed!

Great thread!

I do a few things:

I'm the music teacher at one of the toughest elementary schools in the state of FL, with 99-100% free lunch, and an extremely high-percentage of highly at-risk youth. I wouldn't prefer to teach anywhere else, however, as I tend to be drawn towards areas that require more problem solving.

I'm also the music director at my church, leading contemporary worship and also co-directing the choir.

I also started getting involved in this hobby a couple years ago on the remaining "side" I had left, and I've loved every minute of it.

Here is a link to some videos of me singing some things, since I don't really know what else to put. I've recently kind of decided, perhaps a long time coming, that I may start pursuing music more than I have. Though I love competition, I couldn't care less about fame, which has kept me from seeking it in the past...

Alright! Thanks for a venue for us to talk about ourselves, and it be ok!

A life-long dream I have is to sing the national anthem at Wrigley Field. So, if anyone can help with that --- I'd be eternally grateful :D

I was bumped off the Cardiac unit in a recent facility job relocation program that affected 200 of us...Id rather build and test missiles. I leave either tonight or tomorrow for 3+ weeks on my first vacation in over a year, living out of tent like dirtbags!

I'm sitting here in Seattle in my daughters hospital room. She is 20 and two days ago underwent a total knee replacement. I am amazed at the compassion and care she has received from the nurses. My mother was an RN in a psychiatric hospital. My hats off to you and all of your peers you do amazing work. Enjoy your vacation you certainly deserve it.

By the way I supervise social workers for the state of Washington.

I essentially took a big pay cut, and the hours are about the same, but working from home means I see my boys (3 yrs & 9 mos) much more than I would otherwise. As long as the ends are still meeting (barely), I think it's worth it, though there are times that the stability of a regular engineering job can be pretty tempting.

Thanks for the bump and reminder to update my "other LinkedIn page" :) As of last August, I'm working for a small but rapidly growing city south of Nashville doing site plan review for new developments, and dealing in collectibles is back to "on the side" status.

I really never knew what I was doing when I was doing it...

...and I am so glad to not be doing whatever it was any more.


Retirement is a good fit for me...just wish I was healthier so I could really enjoy it.

For all of you that served our country, my sincere thanks and appreciation!

Same problem here. Very hard to replace the income starting in a new field. I'm not necessarily looking to live out of a suitcase but wouldn't mind some travel.

I'm guessing it went the way of Armadillo World Headquarters and the such. The winds of change have been blowing here and are now at hurricane velocity.

I'm a project engineer for a large communications company that makes ground and space communications systems for the military.

kkkkandp 07-04-2015 01:50 PM

Nothing anymore.

My former employer, Pearson Education, decided unilaterally last year that my 40+ years of experience meant less to them than hiring two other guys to replace me (at higher salaries, I'm sure). All potential employers now look at my resume and think "too old" or "too expensive" or both. I might agree with one of those assertions. :D

So, bottom line, I guess I am now retired.

mrvster 07-04-2015 02:18 PM

Kevin!
 
I'm so sorry to hear that! I went through a similar situation last year

IT SUCKS!!

I'm sure they will be kicking themselves in the ass:D

Surprises, me, I thought Pearson was taking over the educational world and had more money than they knew what to do with!

Enfuego 07-04-2015 04:08 PM

Well, after 15 years as an Active Duty Soldier, I decided to change course and convert over as a Reservist. While I'm not drilling on weekends, I am a Human Resources Generalist who happens to assist Soldiers with ensuring their personnel records are as accurate and updated as possible for the sole purpose of their career progression and promotion potential. Either way, I am smothered by Soldiers which is something I see myself doing for a while as long as I am able to do so.:)
