I play poker for most of my income, and I have an interest in a business as a silent partner. I also flip a few houses a year. When things get slow, I tune bongos for spare change.

I envy you....I don't even know how to play poker. I understand the flippers are flopping by the dozens. Anyone hanging with that has to be savvy to the hilt.

Tim...guess I'll bite.
Can't give many details....
My day starts at 4:30 am...get there about 6:15 am..(same day)
I eat lunch, if I eat, about 11:00 am and finish sometime later (same day)
Then I leave @2:50pm..you got it!..same day.
All the time inbetween I try to keep a low profile so I can repeat the
previous days schedule.
Inbetween those time frames I'm on the computer until my eyes
go out of focus and when they do I get in my Co. truck and drive
around out in the woods.
When my eyes are in focus.....it's stuff to do with chemicals which
I can't talk about. IF I'm not completing ethical cources or job comittment
forms or answering questions on the phone by people that can't get focused.
Oh, sometimes I look at my 401K and thank myself for having the sense
to move my goods before others decided to move them for me.
It's not a Mad, Mad, Mad World.....it's a crazy butthead world. Pay me.

Let me guess.the CIA, the NSA???

If I were to take a serious guess, I would say you are a Cargill guy or something close that outfit.

I design school buildings and create the construction documents at an architectural firm for my day job.  Most evenings and weekends I do designing and renderings on a freelance basis.

Did I miss what your day job was Tim?  LOL

Much like BAPU, I just mingle around CH but in my past life which I cannot discuss, I do still have some old tools of the trade (A pack of M&Ms with the presidential seal on them).    Nuff said on that!!!

  I am a journeyman HVAC tech. (thats heating,ventilation and air conditioning). I started out in electronics with training in that. Found jobs in audio shops and two-way radio shops. Was layed off in the 80s during the recession then and migrated into HVAC by happenschance.......started at the bottom in installations and design and worked into repair. Ran residential and migrated to commercial. Now a lot of what I do involves computers and controls. I have a good mix of field work and computer work. When I am on the computer waiting for a system to respond to a change I might end up here in the coffee shop Now I work for a large university in what is sometimes called "Facilities Management". We can control and observe pretty much everything from a computer now. When we find a problem I get top go an fix it........

Intersting-I too have done all that in the past as well upto and including teaching service techs from all around the world.  I like the new integrated systems that they have come out with for monitoring the AHUs, hot and cold decks, chillers and boilers.  Really has made both sides of the house easy to deal with not to mention good troubleshooting tools available with all the refrigerant and electrical figures ya can pull from it to figure out whats going wrong with something.  Also keeps the winers honest

LOL...I just got back from lunch and a short ride...I can see again...let's just
say that I work with chemicals to make the world a better place for us to live in.
I can proudly say that I think it's working too. People really may not know exactly
how much of the world Americans feed and take care of....and all the time we
listen to them dog us. But I don't mind so much while I pity their ignorance.
Oops...hope I didn't start anything....oh well.

Are you the guy that came up with canned aerosol cheese? If you are then thanks. I love that stuff.

If I told you what have done in the past and whom I worked for I would then have to rip your arms and legs off and hit you with the soggy ends so I will say nothing about that.

QA for a healthcare agency...

A lot of responsibilty.......the guy up front taking the hits from disgruntled customers. Probably not many calls like," I just wanted to sincerely thank you"

I would have never figured there would be anyone here even remotely related to that field. Some of the systems I have worked with are not written very well. Fortunately now we have a solid system. Yes we eliminate hours a day running here and there because someone is hot or cold. We can change the temps remotely and tell if they are fibbing. We have energy initiatives and so there are certain global controls in the software that regulate what can be done with regards to outside air temps.The A/C won't run if its a certain temp outside,nor will the heat come on if if its too warm. Night time offsets save even more energy. We are going green with water source heat pumps in a big way. Just drilled 400 or so wells........ We can also trend WHEN something happens and tell how long it has been happening.Cool stuff.
