Looking back on all the "jobs" you have had in your lifetime, what is/was you best job.



Being an army civilian working in Germany, I've learned to treat every job as the best and worst at the same time because, if you don't keep looking and changing, you stagnate and end up jobless. I've been everything from a gas pump attendant, to a parts clerk, to managing a $50+ million ammunition account for a Division. My best job was managing the ammo because it paid well and I knew I was making sure that all the kids I was responsible for were trained up and ready to kill bad guys. Unfortunately, the Division I was taking care of left Germany. I still had time on my tour, so was placed in the worst job of my life. The Soldiers I took care of didn't physically leave Germany, they just became another unit that went to Iraq. My new Job was in an Emergency Operations Center and I had the privilege of being the first one notified when one of them was killed or hurt. The first few months, it got to the point that I didn't want to go to work and read emails. I've also learned to live on +$25 an hour with full benifits and $7 an hour with none.

All said and done, I am supporting Soldiers of the greatest Country in the World and wouldn't have it any other way.

Dave

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
