I'm an emergency services dispatcher. I've worked in law enforcement and public safety in one capacity or another for more than 20 years.
 
Retired from the USAF (1993) and FAA (2008). Have a consulting business and do contract teaching at the FAA Center in OKC. Rest of the time I'm traveling between OKC and Raleigh. Play Grampa as much as possible and keep up with our spread-out family. Life could be worse :pipe: FTRPLT

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.

Yak pays me to aggravate TJ, and TJ pays me to aggravate Yak. A half-dozen guys pay me to aggravate JT. Added together it's enough to live pretty well. (JP is so much fun I piss him off as a freebie.)

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. :mrgreen:

I've worn several hats over the years, I've been an offset printer, factory worker, dairy farm owner, land surveyor, and currently work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I have degrees in Mathematics and Geography/GIS. Now, if I can just figure out what I want to be when I grow up.....
