What do you do for a living?

Are you a Masochist or something? Who in their right mind would want to retire and then work in an environment like the U.S. Postal service???

Depends on which craft he is (some are far worse then others) and what Federal retirement system he was under with USAF.  Federal Thrift Saving Plan rocks, I can see working for that and the rest of the benefits.  He's probably going to buy back his military time for retirement from USPS since he is probably planning to work for USPS for atleast 10 years to be vested.  So atleast 10 years of USPS plus buyback of military time equals retiring after 30+ years of postal work plus his Social Security, plus the Thirft plan (like 401K) and he'll be pretty set. :cheers:

Boy Howdy! What a worthless piece of crap of a place to work. I've been in automation as a clerk for the last eight years.

I'm sure the carriers blame you for the late DPS and PARS not working properly.  I know we blame our plant (think it was April 06 voted worst in the nation).  :-D

Hmm... I'm currently a Systems Administrator for a certain large PC vendor that has a forgotten and neglected managed systems group.  (Mostly Win 2k/2k3 systems are all I handle.  I occasionally get a little bit of Cisco network, Checkpoint firewall, and HP-UX gear here and there...  At least to the point that I diagnose the problem is actually one of those devices and not one of my NT servers... Then I hand the case  over to someone who has a actual clue on those devices.)  I'm currently on a government contract, though I have done automotive for them in the past, as well.

Previous to that, I've done all sorts of things.  Mostly computer related.  
- Web developer (front end HTML, small graphics work, plus some back end ASP and PERL) for automotive.
- Independent IT consultant (small business networks, etc.)    
- Data entry / slave help (during college)
and one non-computer related right after high-school
- Draftsman/Detailer

In general, I'm a journeyman.  :lol:

Over the last 15 years I have worked in 4 different IT related jobs.

I resigned from all of them.

Every single company that I quit either closed down soon after or lost a major contract.

Hehe ... the Gadget curse??...I must have got it from the Amiga. :-P  

Anyone still want to employ me? ... :lol: ...... I thought not!

Now I run a small IT business with a friend.  It feels good to be a boss.The independence is liberating.

I don't have look over my shoulder whilst visiting Amiga Org    :-D and I can shout at my workers. Oi !! get some work done you lazy b... er ... hold on a sec ..... what workers??...

There are no other employees yet......... only bosses. :lol:

Because being a homosexual is about as bad as being a violent murderer, isn't it?
