You mean before I retired, I guess. I was a physicist, and worked in advanced avionics R&D. Was really more of an engineer than scientist. Got to work at North American, then McDonnell, soon to become McDonnell Douglas, then moved to Honeywell where I retired later. Of course, McDD finally was bought out by Boeing.
It was really neat be>
Androids get all the fun!! :-P

Sixteen years in the Strategic Air Command (parent of the Air Force) practicing to drop nucs on various places. After the Cold War, was too old to do the real stuff, so I took an early out with bonus. Now I'm a manager at Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse. It's just like being in SAC.

I've been looking at that for a while but having done work for several of Uncles children some civil and some not I would prefer to eat ground glass. I wouldn't get through the internecine whining in a multi agency meeting without shooting someone. The last "commission" I worked at wouldn't do data intercahnge within its own structure for reasons of turf, ego and stupidity.
I do not envy anyone who chooses to wrestle that particular python.

I've spent the past 3 years self employed, making and supplying new parts for classic Triumph cars. Before that I spent 14 years in electronic engineering, latterly developing test systems for 2G/3G mobile telecomms systems. Cheers, Bill.
Wow, shame you are in the UK, as I have a friend who shows his 63 TR 3 and has won several times with it. (I got to do touch up painting in the engine compartment before one of the wins :) His TR 6 is still all original, he is waiting on restoring it. (he has fairly well equipped shop in his house)
Nice WebPages !!

You also don't contract nearly as many respiratory diseases from cunning little vectors as you would teaching in grade school.

Where to start... nothing as exciting as most of you guys, but 10 years running a service station (gas station to you USians) - eveyone should try that, it gives you a whole new perspective on the human race. :-) Done construction - scaffolding and crane; plant operator; wharfie; truck parts interpreter (BOOOORING! and the boss was an a-hole) and lots of other bits and pieces. Currently an Effet Operator in a sugar mill. Sweet work if you can get it!
