Donna 0 #106 July 19, 2001 Well I think you can all figure out my name! I recently quit my job as a vet tech at an animal hospital. Loved the pets, hated my boss. I'll be looking for a new one in the same field at the end of the summer. I'm a mom of 3 now and since my husband and I abandon the kids every weekend to go skydiving I've decided to spend the rest of the summer weekdays with them so they remember who I am! I'm also an EMT for my local fire dept. Skies,D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brokeneagle 0 #111 July 19, 2001 in reply to the shout-out by PalmettoTiger, negative on work for Dan Bridgers- I'm sure I've seen him out there, tho- what does he look like? And, yes, I've taken several still photos and camcorder shots of some of the older, beautiful courthouses I've gone out to- some were built in the late 1800's and the architecture is absolutely grand! How did you know? (But they're not on my walls- have too much stuff from China, martial arts stuff, some tandem skydiving shots, and Jackie Chan posters up there for courthouse shots-- courthouses have to do with work, and my walls have nothing to do with that, LOL! It's only the giving that makes you what you are... In the end, only kindness matters.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hardly ever hear of anyone going to Oakland, especially since I live down here in FL. But, my Dad was in the first ever graduating class at Oakland, back when it was MSUO. He is a very proud alumnus...one day when we were visiting up there, he made us go see his name on some statue they have there on the grounds.

sinister69 0 #122 July 20, 2001 well, i am updating my job. I don't have one. I was just laid off from my instructor work, others also got laid off. but I still contract out network administration to another company in irvine, so money is still coming in. I can also spend more time at that company, which means more jump money for me. yeah!!!Blue Skies!Sinister69http://home.pacbell.net/n1elson1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been racking my brain trying to think of a business plan that involves something skydiving-related, even if it is pro-consumerist and/or pro-office!I've got a couple of ideas, but they rather involve selling software.
