Re: What do you do for income?
Mechanical Engineer, .
Likes: new challenges, flex time so I can take time off when I want it. Decent money but not great.
Dislikes: Engineers by nature are dorky and not very social. Slightly too much travel lately. About .0001% population is attractive women while in school and now in work place. :-)
Changes if possible: Would make it more portable, i.e. my wife is in health care and can move anywhere and get a job, my situation is more limited .

Re: What do you do for income?
Wow a lot more engineering types here then I woulda expected. You are right Chris about the lack of humor, the movie "office space" is truly scary close to a cubical farm. I almost went into HVAC and the HVAC guys joked that the architects were not creative enough to be artists and couldn't do enough math for engineering.
Thayes, I looked at the auction, looks like deal, 95+ seems fast but I don't have enough knowledge to say for sure. What is up with the goofy straps on the drive? Surely nobody would be ina boat that fast with trim issues?

Re: What do you do for income?
Im a Salesmanager at a car dealership and a Wholesale Sales manager for the three family owned dealerships....
I enjoy sales but the hours are long and require Saturdays and occasional Sundays. They treat me good here but I produce so enough said....
I'd love to have a Monday-Friday gig to be a part of more boating related activities though..
