Arrow What do you do for a living?

Just call me nosey, but since there are so many people in here now, I thought it would be fun to kind of get a handle on what it is that all of you do for a living.

I'll start with myself. As some of you may have noticed...I post on the forum pretty much all hours of the day. That is due to the fact that I work shift work for an Energy company here in Houston. I have been with this company for 20 years. When on shift, I'm responsible for dispatching our electrical generating assets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida, Illinois, New York and a small part of Missouri.

There you have it...now what do you do to pay for that new Ford or yours?
