I work at Taco Bell...

Not something I'm particularly prud of...


Be proud no matter WHAT you do - it all counts and all adds up to the big picture!  :yesyes:

I work for a media company that is the largest community newspaper publisher in Canada.   Our division produce 18 community newspapers and a number of specialty publications throughout the Ottawa valley on a weekly basis.  My job is maintaining the database that contains all of our 500+ carriers, all of the address details for our 1,000+ routes, plus our truckers & which-bundles-for-which-routes-goes-on-which-truck-in-what-order (lol) etc.  I also run the payroll for all of these folks as well as handle general admin duties for our 50+ satellite office  ;D

In the past though, I've enjoyed filling in time working as a bartender, waitress, secretary, truck driver, receptionist, artisan, hospital attendant, librarian, etc.  Whatever gets the bills paid and that seems fun to do (at the time!).  Variety is the spice of life they say  :smly_a_wink:

I also like trying to steal stuff out of Nrv's BFM office when he's not looking.... I think I'm ahead of Madwho in the Nrv memborabilia department  :dance:

I own and operate a cabinet shop, but we do build much more han cabinetry (that market is saturated).  It's really a dream come true and a joy to go to the shop each day.

>>Site under construction<<  These are just a couple of our outdoor "summer kitchens" which are completely waterproof

Awesome kitchens Gevad.  My brother is also a custom cabinet maker and owns his own shop and does a lot of similar work.  With the housing downturn, he picked up a contract with Cabelas to do all of their curio cabinets for their stores across the country.  He loves it as well.

As for me, I'm in airport operations at a large international airport.  My group manages the runway/taxiway side of the airport and take care of things such as emergency response, construction oversight, snow and ice control, wildlife management and other regulatory requirements.  I've been doing this for over 20 years and still love it.  Prior to that I managed a bombing range for the U.S. Air Force.

Didn't Zidane headbutt a guy in the World Cup final?  :eyebrow:

I'm not sure that was Zidane, I thought that was someone else...

I'd also like to add to my resume, since Jimmy brought it up, I am also a Soccer Referee, but for AYSO, American Youth Soccer Organization.  Just got done with a Section Tournament, I reffed 9 games in 2 days.  Only did 2 Centers, the rest were Assistant (the guy running up and down the touchline with the flag that the spectators always yell at even when its the Center's fault  :-\)  It's all good, because the motto of AYSO is, "It's for the kids."  Really did for the kids, even though half of them were 5 years younger and 5 inches taller than me.
You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Thanks to Spidey for this sig!                                                                                                                  .
