Airline Pilot.

Hey USAF C6 - I got a big time jones for the 707. What a great airplane! We used the 707 simulator for pre-employment sim evals and the ole gal flew just great. They have a couple sitting around in SAT including the one where they were trying to re-engine the thing for the civilian market. Never worked out.

Had to go to traffic school for a speeding ticket once. Instructor went around the room asking what we had done to deserve the pleasure of her company that day. No way I was gonna fess up and tell them that I was popped for speeding - you can only imagine the comments I would have gotten from that peanut gallery. Comes my turn and I stole the line from Risky Business - "I deal in human fulfillment." I cracked myself up but nobody else got it. Dull people, I guess!

Mike

Default My job may be one of the more unusual ones...

I work for a large oilfield service company as the Performance Development Coordinator for Angola in Southern Africa. (I work 28 on-28 off) I am in charge of the management systems (quality) and the development of national and ex-pat personnel. It ain't the most glamorous assignment, but it pays pretty well.
