Well, I was working at NASA HQ for the past six years, as a Help Desk Manager, and supporting the Administrator. My last day was yesterday (man the hangover from happy hour) LOL
I just accepted a new job working for AOC (www.aoc.gov) as a Help Desk Manager.
Now, I usually forgot to pay some bills buying something new for the tank. Ha!

Im a process unit operator at an oil refinery. It pays well and can be pretty challenging at times, though a little messy. I just wish they would give me free gas.

Hi all,
I used to work for a screw machine company for 7 years, almost died from making no money.
Worked in the cnc machine shops for 4 years, died, and went to college.
got a B.S., waiting to get a good job to pay for this hobby, but I could die again if I dont get a job soon!
