Aye then Mr Keyes. Aye didn't think the l;ikes a these rat bastards were going to make you pay fer posting the same thread twice. Buts I sees they have so lets let the other one fade away into the dark abyss of nether world and then just find enough reality around here to give cause to answer ye!

I be a designer of packaging finding the likes of new products and selling companies on me abilities to package it box it ship it get it to market and sell it all within the rhyme and reason meaning the if a certain pyrate can't do it then it can't get done!

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.

Bon vivant and professional misfit here.

Sit in my jammies and have people hire me to write for them and design pretty stuff for print and web.

I manage international corporate travel for a worldwide electronics company.

Hawkyns

:rolleyes:

Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl

I do what I do for my own reasons.

I do not require anyone to follow me.

I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs.

if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Hawkyns,

Dare I ask which Electronics company?

As few me,

I am a technician for the science center in the burgh of William Pitt, my official title; Traveling Exhibits Technical Coordinator

I manage an exhibit on Robotics, which means I travel to other cities with it to set it up and train folks. So, I work with robots, computers, etc... My job varies from day to day, depending on what the public has broken in the science center. Or maintaining any number of things from the robots to the decrepid stake body truck we have and anything inbetween...

Truly,

Biologist here. Wildlife ecology the specialty. I am working for a consulting firm that helps developers with permitting new development and monitoring said developers to see if they are adhering to the provisions of the permits. It's like playing both sides of the ball, offence and defense. Mostly I get to go out in the field and roam around untouched areas of Florida, evaluate what is there, cordon off/measure the wetlands, survey for endangered species. Then I get to come back to the site after it is "developed" (read: destroyed) to make sure that the water flowing off the site isn't dirty. Then I write long reports that no one ever reads describing how responsible the developer is.

I have simply got to quit this job. I think teaching science is next. They have a High school here, the Braden River Pirates. Sounds like a fit to me.

I work as a receptionist in a retirement home. Been there since it opened over 3 years ago. But it doesn't seem to be enough for some people I know. Not enough cuz I don't have a career. I just look at it as steady work and better than nothing.

Vice President of a furniture refinishing company.

"There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it."

Aye with a name as such maybe ye can start a new knife throwing team or archery for the handicapped. Canon 101 mayhaps, or Pillaging I, II and III. Gunpowder basics (a new approach to applied science)

Blackpowder as Chemistry, Cannonball trajectory as Phisics, Pillagin' as economics or business model, pyrate articles as government studies, pyrate slang as creative writing, cutlass work and boarding as physical education, the list goes on and on...
