I'm not sure I want to share what my job is on a forum like this, but I will brag that I have a security clearance in order to be allowed to perform it....

I’m a freelance translator and started working 23-24 years ago while I
was still a student. Sometimes I can be more or less without any income for a month
or two, and sometimes I’m too busy. Usually it evens out; the start of
this year was quite bad with only a few small jobs – but thanks to Arnold
Schwarzenegger the summer has been very good.

I work in the architectural field. http://sites.google.com/site/bslcadservices/home" rel="nofollow - http://sites.google.com/site/bslcadservices/home Unemployed - 4+ months. CTJ - 1 year 6 months. Arcana - 11 years 8 months. Tomberlin - 5 years 9 months. It goes back further. Got my first job when I was in high school working at a new and used book store.
I worked fast food for a few months while in college. It was a now defunct restaurant called D'Lites which pitched itself as a healthier alternative to Wendy's. Wendy's started copying some of their menu items and drove them out of business. My favorite memory from that was when a guy was working the griddle and gal was working the prep and she said "my buns are ready for your meat". D'Lites did leave some quality restaurant buildings behind. The one in Chamblee is now a good Tex-Mex restaurant. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

They have always been in my view, or at least since I got my first job. The HR guy (of Philips Electronics) tried to tell me that I would reach my peak in the company around my 45th year. I told him I was 23, and that he was a fool to think I would stick around for 22 years with a company that tried to pull an '1984' on me. I got the job, and left after 5 years (1995-2000). After that, I worked in ICT secondment for 5 years (2000-2005), an IT consultancy firm for 2 (2006-2008) and then I decided it was time to roll my own, so I've been an independent software architect, trainer and coach for just over 4 years now. No more bosses for me.... ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.
