Was a B-52 crew chief in the USAF then got into the computer business in the mid'80s.

Currently work in IT for an agency in the County of Orange during the day and as a pyrotechnician at Disneyland at night.

My husband was a B-52 radar navigator.  It was his first plane.   Where were  you stationed?

Other than being a professional orthopedic surgery patient for the last 2-1/2 years, most of my working years were spent in the medical field. 

My first two jobs included working for a law firm and then for the county in the probation department where I discovered my younger brother was on juvenile probation.  Imagine my shock. 

I then began work in a fairly large hospital as a radiology transcriptionist.  This was when my son was young so I worked part-time in the evenings while my then-husband watched the kiddo.  I then moved to a private clinic where I became the transcription department manager. 

In 1994, I started my own medical transcription company and did that until Obamacare passed.  I then had to close my business because it was going to be very burdensome to buy new equipment and pay even more taxes. 

Now, I stay at home and eat bon-bons and watch Jerry Springer between doctor appointments and various surgeries.  My husband is happy I get to stay at home and do his laundry and make him dinner, but he's banned me from watching HGTV. 



I think that the pool was what did it.

Thanks.  There are a lot of conservatives that work for the federal government.  I'm sure that we are outnumbered by about ten to one, but still, there are a lot of us.

If it weren't for the folks at Walmart that stick around as long as you have, the store would be a COMPLETE disaster for customers to use.

I'm a Complex Real Property Appraiser for the NYS Dept. of Tax & Finance.  I work in the Valuation Services Division, and I appraise electrical substations and water/sewage treatment plants across NYS.  Before that, I was a Senior Lab Technician for the NYS Dept. of Health, analyzing water samples for organic contaminants, in the lab that did all of the testing for the Love Canal toxic waste dump in the late 70s.

Before that, I worked in an ice cream plant . . . and before that, I was an Army officer--Signal Corps, though I never saw a signal battalion.  I was in two different Armored Cavalry Regiments.
