I sell and repair mechanical stamping machines that government agencies use on official documents. Working from home is pretty good and the company is doing very well, knock on wood.

I program on the side and will always be a student in that respect.

American Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull) breeder and agility trainer, music composer, songwriter, producer, recording engineer, stage/vocal coach, IT consultant, PC help desk, automobile wholesaler, mobility tech analyst and blogger, geophysical data technician, punching dummy at MMA gym, youth mentor, and even a landscaper.

I'm not regularly employed, so I'm a full time hustler. I work many temp jobs, have a few semi regular jobs, and am willing to do anything to make sure the bills are paid and I stay out of prison. Call me HEY MON!

If you don't know about HEY MON, see YouTube...

Just had an interview at Best Buy Mobile this morning! Maybe we'll have TWO things in common soon. I hope I get the job. Been three years since I had a regular 9 to 5. My dog eats alot, and I'm tired of hustling and struggling out here. Savings have been depleted for 6 months...

And for those that see my job list and think its heavy, its a good reason to stay away from gangs and out of jails and prisons. No matter how much skill you have, a criminal record will make life suck for a lifetime. Not many ex-cons will go through all this, and usually fall back into the system. I'm NEVER going back, so I'll just work like a Jamaican and suck it up.

Cable TV Headend Technician.

Basically I'm the guy at the other end of the cable line who wrangles all the signals to get them to go down the pipe in an orderly manner. I also fix fiber optic cables and help maintain our backbone connections.

I often get to say "it's working just fine here" to my co-workers. :rolleyes: I'm usually telling the truth, too!
