Slowing down a little. Spent many years as ops manager in heavy construction. Got tired of all the travel and moved into cost estimating/project management. Now I miss the travel/time out of the office.

Hey, do you guys see that green grass on the other side of the fence?

During the week I work at a paint store. It's alright. The manager, Dan Fusco, he's a good guy. Gave me a 4 dollar raise the other day. But at night, especially on Saturdays, I go into the city and I dance.

Was a teacher/coach for a while. Spent 20 years as a high school principal. Served 24 years in the Navy and Naval Reserve.

Now fully retired and pick and choose which card shows to set up at. I try to limit myself to 200 miles other than the Fanatics shows and the National.

December 31, 2011 I retired from Avaya Communications as a Senior Technician. I had essentially the same job throughout my career of 43 years with Southern Bell, American Bell, AT&T, Lucent Technologies and then Avaya.
I was in AT&T's computer group in the 80's and the job evolved in to installing, maintaining and upgrading servers.

I make my living as a mutual fund analyst, and I also do Shakespeare/theater history scholarship and research in my spare time. I have a Ph.D in linguistics, but haven't used it directly in many years.

Wow! We have people from all different career paths, but evolutionary psychologist takes the taco up to this point!!!. The Amazon/Machete guy is a close second .

I love that such a diverse group of people have such a large common interest. If only the world worked this well!!

Thanks for all the responses, keep 'em coming!

I cover the Pittsburgh Pirates and their farm system. Already talked to three players today, waiting on another to respond. There is no off-season.
