Occupation...

day job

I was in the jewelry business for over 30 years. Wholesale, retail, manufacturing, pawnbroker. Now I'm in pharmaceutical development. I also play drums in a band (Fatchance-band.com). Been playing pool and collecting cues for 40 years.
 
job

I work for the largest hedge fund administrator out there, in their investor relations dept.

Nothing glamorous.....

Anyone here works for a hedge fund or runs one that's is looking for people? :rolleyes: haahaaa.....resume can be posted.
 
Might as well get on this bus. ;)

Anyway im a college teacher, teaching on computers
primarily on programming and database.

Before that i work with 4 previous companies
Helpmate Inc. as a programmer and IT head,
Geodata Solutions Inc. (GIS company) working as a programmer
for Local Government Units here doing software for Real Property
Tax.
SkyCable Pacific CATV Inc. as a programmer then become
an IT Supervisor.
Hands-On Inc. as an instructor on computer, before i even graduate
i already teach although for the short term courses only.

And Before all this was a drug addict/dependent but by God's mercy
and grace was pulled out from it by the redeeming blood of
my LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. Praise be always to HIM!

Since pool here in the Phils is ubiquitous hence it is but natural for
me to know how to play this game and love it also.

And also i do part time programming for interested clients.
And is anyone interested... :D
 
I'm retired. I retired from a software development job. We were in the process of unit testing when I pulled the plug. I'm so happy to be outta there! I've seen enough system requirements and Use Cases to last me a lifetime!!

35 and retired? Hmmm. More like 35, unemployed, & harassing people from a computer at the public library. Get a life.

I've got some advice for you. I supervised as many as 130 people at one time and I received two awards for outstanding performance. It took me a long time supervising to get to that level. Every time someone becomes a new supervisor, they have to get over that Napoleonic attitude (yes I had it too). You sound to me like you've got it in spades. You don't even know this poster who says he's 35 and retired and yet you bag on him and tell him to get a life. You don't know his story. It could be that he was a soldier who got maimed for life serving our country. You shouldn't jump to conclusions based on one number and two words.
 
I'm a conventional machinist with extensive training in wire EDM machines. I'm also responsible for troubleshooting process problems on all rubber and plastic injection molds in the plant. I work for a Nissan supplier that makes automotive weather stripping. Doorseals, trunklid seals, glassrun seals etc.

Dammit - it just follows me... I don't know why...

Rick
The only reason I had the cubicles removed was because I hate cubicles. It has nothing to do with a Napoleanic attitude - at all. Ok? If you want to know the complete story - get with me privately and I will gladly tell you. Overall it has improved the atmosphere in our office as well as work performance. Burn me at the stake.

Now lets get to Mr. Roll Off. I'm not going to call you stupid here, I saved that for the PM I sent you. This guy is harrassing me on 3 different forums including this one. He has been banned from this site as "Splinterhands" (more like Splinter-weenie) and believe it or not you are the only person that has come to his defense. He's being a jerk to me, and.. thats just not a smart thing to do. I bite back, and I dont feel I need your permission or approval to defend myself against an idiot that sits on a computer at the public library all day harrassing people. Thanks for filling his head with the wounded soldier idea. He'll get some mileage out that one. jeeeeeeeeeeez!!!

It's a great country to visit. Bustarella is a way of life in Italy!

It's my favorite place to drive around. Where else can you drive 100 mph, stop and have a few cocktails or some vino without even leaving the freeway, and zip right back into the fast lane?

Next spring I'm tracing my roots. I'm heading to my grandparents small town called Sulmona and the famous old church they were married in, then checking out the Bari area of the Adriatic coast. Then hitting Amalfi, Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii and Postiano. I've been to some of these cities but this will give a more in depth look.

Bob by trade is a master finish carpenter. He works primarily on upscale houses doing coffered ceilings, fine crown molding and intricate work with wood. He has in the past been a bar/pool room owner. We have had several harness horses, although only one is left and he is barn sour.

I, by trade am a certified antique appraiser. I worked for over 20 years at an auction company that went under after over 100 years in business. My curriculum or CV specialty is fine glassware's and household I am certified to appraise. When my job was in full swing, the company would send me out for a full appraisal usually on a deceased where the family had retrieved what they wanted and needed to liquidated the rest. Although, I have been retained by many attorneys who needed to appraise the estate for tax purposes or was under court order to liquefy due to a family feud where all the kids wanted mothers china.

In addition to that, I run my family charity. The Michael Littner Charitable Trust. The trust was formed in the late 70's when my uncle died and left his estate to be in trust. My father was the trustee for many years until his death where I inherited it. I changed the curriculum of the trust when it passed to me, from the performing arts to abused and abandon children and cancer victims. The charity was one of the first to help form "Gilda's Club in New York named after the late comedian Gilda Radner.

I have and still am on several Chambers of Commerce in which I held the seat of expo director for the Oak Brook Chamber of commerce. In addition, a past president of my local Kiwanis Club.

At the present and in addition to the above, Bob and I run several large Billiard Tournaments i.e. The Windy City Open, The Midwest Billiard Expo/Open and several others.

We have 6 children ages 15 -30, 5 girls and 1 boy and 9 grandchildren!

Ok, so now you ALL know!

I've promised my wife a trip to Italy within' the next 5 years. She is half Italian and we'd like to trace her heritage. Her family name is Funari. Sounds like a fun place.

You tell her Rickw. StrayBullet has to get the last word in every argument. Could you imagine working in that office? Dictatorship Gone Wild! By the way, I updated my profile as you requested, Miss Debra Li. And let me remind you that you started this whole quarrel. My post on CCB was only intended to warn you that RSB'ers were trashing your name. Then you blew up. Sounds like the office, doesn't it?

If you get to Francavilla tell my relatives I said hi :)
The Bruzzesse's are still living there.

I manage a team of sales engineers for the 2nd largest computer outsourcing company.
 
I write board-support software for aerospace computers.

Occasionally, I work as a "dissel fitter". When the opportunity comes, I'll look down and say, "Yeah, dissel fitter"... :)

Whats your occupation? Pool players represent a large cross section of America. All walks of life from prominatant sports figures, to dentists, to construction workers... the list goes on and on. In our league we have a Lawyer, a Dentist, a Grave digger, a Chimney sweep, a engineer, and an Elevator mechanic to name a few. The last one represents myself.

I troubleshoot problems when the elevators don't work right. I provide maintainance on a scheduled basis. Perform safety tests to ensure they run as per code. Perform repairs when the elevators are really "Broke but good."
I am also "On Call' one day a week and one weekend a month.

I'm curious to see what everyone else does to pay the bills. :cool:
