I used to work at a used book store, but just got a new job as a worship leader for one of the college ministries here at East Central University.

Trucker hauling explosives for the mining industry.
The nice thing about trucking is the freedom to smoke whenever I like.
Just rolling down the road with 43 tons of high explosives and pulling
on a stogie.

I'm actually a former design student at Parson's NYC. I have a background in interior and furniture design. My father got sick mid way through my second year and being an only child I returned to take over his used car dealership.

Laughing

I'm a plaid suit wearin' used car dealer folks! As for my dad, he's been in remission from leukemia for nearly a decade. At almost 80 y.o. he still comes to work EVERY day! Laughing

LMAO! When I read such pearls of wit, I realize how much I've missed ol' LL lately.

It's like the deafening silence that invades the house when the wife takes the boys to visit family.... feels good for a day or two, followed by the unpleasant awareness that something just isn't as it should be.... ah, probably just forgot to take a laxative.

BTW: I'm employed as a sales consultant for an engineering plastics firm, primarily assisting project engineers and maintenance planners in pulp & paper mills and sawmills.

I'm a director in a large private company. I run the seminar division of an Independent Financial Adviser in the UK. I also look after the marketing generally, and the website, which I also designed.

I sleep when I'm not busy.
