Yep, I have not had a typical career path for an electrical/software engineer! Worked at casino while they were building a tower which has one crooked leg. (I would not go up in that tower until just a few years ago as the casino buyer would come in to our office and complain how he didn’t have money to buy TP or anything because all money was going into the tower!) I was hired because the self-taught programmer walked off with half of the source code in a bid to get paid big money as a consultant. The owner called his bluff and hired me and others instead. I would come out of work at night and see Elvis regularly as well as Penn and Teller (before they got famous.)
Awesome!! I’ve got a few as well. I told you about my Mom in equestrian sphere. My career was aviation; been all over world. Blah blah. It was fun, now retired on a TVA lake & rebuilding a bass boat my dream. Goin PHISHin...
When this is over, we need to meet! Husband was UH-1N and UH-60A(?) pilot. We come up to TN/NC every year to ride in the mountains. We hope to buy property somewhere in TN and retire early courtesy of the hedge funds!
Hey good for you!!! I love where I settled. I worked UH-60’s in Mosul and then after at Fort Campbell 101st doing mods. Used to go on test flights over Mosul etc. I posted once the 101st Chaplain organized a trip with 2 Blackhawks to Nimrud, near Ninevah. There was insurgent activity at Ninevah so we settled on Nimrud not far away. ISIS bulldozed the ancient Assyrian city after we left Iraq...criminal. It was like Conan the Barbarian ruins...crazy.
