I was an attorney for a couple of large law firms but am now working for the government. I miss my prior card budget but little else about the job.

Congrats, Chris. I assume you are no longer asked to explain how the number of billable hours in a day can exceed 24.

Thanks Todd . No more explanations, although I'm not sure I ever billed more than 20 hours in a day

I don't believe so Al, but my research is ongoing. As you know, there's a rule against perpetuities--just don't ask me to explain it My hope was that it could save me, but it appears there may be exceptions to the rule, and with my luck, one such exception has my name on it.

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!
