RMS'ers occupations

Aug 27, 2004 117 Replies

We did the thing about our ages awhile back, just curious about occupations. What is it we all do for a living. I know a couple are current active military, a few are retired. Is retired what happens after you get tired, then rest awhile, then go at it again? "I was right tired from workin', then I took a nap, then I worked some more, now I'm retired" ; )~ I am normally a KGB operative, but since the fall of the USSR work's been pretty slow, and rubles being what they are.... So, I was a truck driver for awhile, now I'm working as a welder to make ends meet, back in school to get a teaching degree, and working on a commercial pilot's license.

Seriously, though, Justin, as some of you here know, is seriously disabled and requires 24/7 care. He spends five hours per day onday through Thursday in a day program, other than that I'm it. I draw a pittance from the state (which the governator tried to do away with) and Lynne is a special education teacher. Along with Justin's disability we get along.
