    Well that's interesting, I work on 'evil grey navy warships'. Actually I'm an Integrated Test Engineer, I make sure all the work performed on ships is properly tested by the organization doing the work. As a fringe "benefit", I regularly go on sea trials when overhauls are completed. It's kinda funny being one of those undeerway civilians I used to give strange looks to when I was active duty.

    I am not Satan just because I work for the cable company. I will , however, admit to being a minion.

    Pretty much same as before (freelance writing/reviewing/puff pieces of porn sites), except I do more editing than reviewing now-a days.

    I HATE when that happens - BTW I resent being called a "janitor" I'm a custodial engineer.
    I was torn between short-order cook, brain surgeon or international double-naught spy when I was a young man.
