so, what does everyone do for a living?

[EyePeeAy]

im sure there are some of you out there who get to brew beer for a living, but im curious to know what the rest of the HBT population does to support their addiction. so, with that said.. what do you do for a living? im sure this will generate some conversation, at least a " hey, ive always wondered what that was like" type situatation. so here goes. im in the death industry. i am a cremation operator. i cremate people for a living. i work at woodlawn north puchase cemetary and crematory. i love my job. (as odd as that may sound.) i work for a husband and wife operation that have been in the field for more than 20 years. my bosses get to bring their dogs to work, as well as i do. my family can visit, (and my wife brings me lunch) almost anytime i want. and the benefits are incredible.

so, what do you guys do for a living? give us some fun facts/ info, and im sure this could be a really fun thread...

I run a company(actually 3) that provide geological technical services to oil companies, basically our guys tell them when and if they found oil or gas while drilling. The BP fiasco is very rare, I've been in the oilfield since 1978 and have only seen a couple of really bad situations, which are of course much easier to deal with on land.
I had my current job from 1988 to 1994 at which time I quit swearing I'd never have another employee. I kept my promise for 11 years but ended up back where I started. I've had some great times working the oilfields, worked with some pretty amazing people and I'd do it all over again. Unfortunately my son is following in my footsteps, currently working on the rigs and in our Texas office between wells, and my daughter works for us in the main office. At least my wife has a job outside of the oilfield.

No one has posted there since last November so a new thread is probably in order.

Me: I' work on specialized engine handling equipment and do a bit of off wing engine work on the C-17s at McChord AFB. I work for the Boeing Company.

PS... I believe I made one of the first jumps out of a C-17. They were testing whether our chutes could handle the higher air speed required to keep the plane aloft. It hurt like a b$tch when the harness jerked, but I survived

I stand corrected. May 2011.

Better you than me. Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes is not for me!

My whole family had to take a DNA test last year for a marker (can't remember it offhand) of breast cancer. My father had it, so my siblings and I had to take the test. Thankfully, I don't have it, especially since I have a daughter...

I'm guessing it was for BRCA-1 or BRCA-2.

To the O.P. of this thread...

might I suggest learning how to make a Dead Guy Ale clone?

I too am/was in the death industry (although not as "hands on" as you...) will post in other thread.

That's it, I believe it was BRCA1.
