I am a weather forecaster in the Air Force.  The job mainly deals with the aviation side of things but I am currently detached with the Army and have been for the past 6 years.  My job entails providing tailored specific forecasts to enhance my unit’s schemes of maneuver.   The job itself is very demanding and you have to be able to act under pressure but is very rewarding.  The Air Force has given me a great opportunity to travel having just stationed me in Italy last year.

social worker

Big TP for doing one of the most difficult, underappreciated jobs out there.  In between undergrad and grad school I spent 2 years as a research assistant at a social work center that also had grants for research.  It was very rewarding, but also very difficult to see both the families that were tearing themselves apart with addictions and violence, and the ones that worked their behinds off just to make ends meet.  And I didn't even deal directly with the families that often. 

We paid $20 a research visit, and some of the moms had us drop their kids off at home and then take them straight to the crack house, and some of them used it to get their power turned back on in January.  Both situations were tough to see and think about (harder to live through, of course).  Congrats for staying out there and sticking with it.

I punch Laker fans in the face.

In 5 years I hope to be punching actual players in the face.

Ever see the bum by south station in Boston?  Cane with a cup taped to it, and a sign taped to the cup asking for money?  wearing a neck brace yet managing to bob the head side to side and up and down to the music from the tape player?  yea thats me.  Very lucrative business.

I owned my own business up until Nov last year. The economy was so great I had to stop.

Now I work as an assistant manager for a bank. This wont be where it ends for me though.
Im going to keep my eyes peeled for something better and a little less stressfull or go back to school for something once I figure that out. Have to get into something that I enjoy or at least dont dread. But at least it's a paycheck

Strangely enough thats what my friends call me. When I try to explain to people I always start of with "have you ever seen office space"

I did 8 years in the Canadian Navy (yes, we have a Navy, and yes, we are usually a part of your battle group for deployments) and I put in a voluntary release to pursue a comedy career in standup/writing. Currently attending acting/writing school, going to the Second City in the fall. Part time bartender for now. If the comedy doesn't come through in my posts it's because Tracy Morgan's my idol, then Norm, doesn't translate to sports all that well.
