Re: What is your 9 to 5??
Former Combat medic, EMT_B Working on my RN. Lay herbalist, I stopped watching TV 3 years ago and now spend my time studying chemical constituents in plants that are conductive to health. I fell into this hobby because I was Pissed that I could not find a supply of 95% in my area to make Tinctures with.
I do hobby metal work, read entirely to much, and prep for the eventual fall of society....

Plumber, only 37 years experience. I am about to figure it out..
Re: What is your 9 to 5??
OK, I'll add my bit of super secret information - man o 'man do the years add up quick, now I need a drink - thanks a lot.
Started out in the late 70's fixing the last of tube (valve) electronics, then a journeyman electrician in the 80's, to industrial PLC and instrumentation in the 90's and still at it - damn if that shit didn't get complicated over the years... hope to retire by the decades end (if the 2012 rapture doesn't take us all first) either will be well received.

Re: What is your 9 to 5??
Since several mentioned being retired, what age did you retire at, or if still working, what age do you intend to retire at? Me, I'm 59, don't see retirement in sight for another 10 years or so, unless the good Lord has other plans, (and here lately he might just be hinting that he does.)

Re: What is your 9 to 5??
I retired 6 years ago at the age of 54. Had 33 years in with a large international chemical company. The last 15 of those years I worked as a process control computer programmer. I did go back and work part time for the same company doing the same job for a couple of years. I don't regret retiring early. I love it. Makes me wonder how I ever got anything done when I was working.
Re: What is your 9 to 5??
I do HVAC maintenance and repair at a large automotive plant for over 20 years, still a long way from retirement.
I love the job, but i hate the paperwork that's involved with it since that whole 'global warming' thingie popped up.
I'm more of a hands-on type of guy.
In the weekends you can find me underground, mapping and exploring caves.

The amount of energy dissipation across the heating area would be a complete waste. You would spend more on your electric bill then you did on the wash.

Re: What is your 9 to 5??
yeah i had visions of a crystal still body with lazer fired into the centre - multi directional split pinging beams into some kind of groovy internal heat sinks; maybe brushed platinum skulls, to heat the wash. It was all a beautiful dream . . .
