Dentist eh? I'm an anti-dentite........... I had a root canal recently that was promised to be painless..... next thing I know, the assistant is holding me down and the endodontist says "stop kicking" I was kicking due to the hideous pain when he broke through to the nerve. local anesthetic only......... for this, I had the pleasure of paying 700 dollars.

My occupation: Let's see what my current job titles are...

Technical Writer
Quality Systems Administrator
Documentation Specialist

Basically, I sit in front of a computer, and convert what the Engineers tell me into something the average person can read.

I also have to "facilitate" our ISO program. For those that don't know or do this, don't volunteer for this if asked.

don't volunteer to get a root canal either!

lymon · Oct 24, 2002, 07:34 PM

tic, my guy is much better.... little pain, but after he's finished excavating he says "open up and hold still", puts an x-ray film in my mouth, and sticks a needle file into the "canal" he's just dug in my "root" and shoots a picture, just so he can show me how deep he drilled! which is about three tooth depths into my jaw

Zhack · Oct 26, 2002, 02:21 AM

He's supposed to say the root canal is free...it's the anesthetic that costs $700

tic · Oct 26, 2002, 10:03 AM

anesthetic?... one little shot of novacaine.. I asked for "extra" since that was the only thing he would use.. He didn't give any extra.. but waited till I was writhing in pain to give me another shot... rat bastid... The excuse (which I'm sure is true) was that the infection in the tooth cancels out the novacaine, one is a base, the other an acid.... Oh great, so why not put me out? or at least some valium or nitrous so it wouldn't SEEM so bad.

im 19 years old....I work part time laying hardwood with Georgia Floors. In January I will be a police officer....well an acadmey officer. I will be attending the police acadmey in January. So in July I will be a police officer. I already have a job with the town PD once I get done with my training. Im gonna take extra courses as a sharpshooter to hopefully work for the Atlanta Swat.

I spent 8 years in the Air Farce. Wanted to be a truck driver and wound up in electronics. Went from Radar Bomb Scoring in Little Rock, Arkansas (where I met and married my wife of 45 years)to my only other base at Vandenberg AFB, California.

I spent the last 5 years in the Air Farce in the Atlas Missile Program (fancy title of Ballistic Missile Analyst Technician). I took care of all the electronic systems on the missile. Why I left the service they sold off all the Atlas D silos. (Don't know if I had anything to do with that or not)

Went to St. Louis and started working at MacDonnell Aircraft. They were making the Phantoms at that time and hadn't bought Douglas Aircraft yet. I was an Electronics & Electrical Inspector. I made sure that when somebody broke it, and then somebody fixed ti, that is was fixed right.

Anyway, after that, somehow I managed to get inot the Fire
Alarm & Security Business and have been doing that for about 32 years now.
Matter of fact, we take care of security and fire alarm equipment at one of Boomeraces old stomping grounds (Palm Beach International Airport.

Been building and crash.....er, flying models since my Vandernberg days in 1958 with single channel and then into Orbit reed stuff. What a thrill

I also have my BS degree from Northwood University and it doesn't stand for bachelor of science.

adam_jorgensen · Nov 02, 2002, 10:57 AM

Courtesy clerk, AKA bagger boy at a grocery store. WORST JOB EVER! (so far anyway.) Some people should post their worst jobs ever.

Applying at places like our revolving restaurant, sears, etc.
I really want to work at our airport doing almost anything, but have to wait till I'm 18. Tried applying there, no response after 7 months

Future job, airline pilot for either Air Canada or FedEx or UPS or I may do charter flights (flying business executive planes.) Before that though, I will probably fly RJ's for a regional company or whatever flying job I can get my hands on. I love flying in a plane no matter what I'm doing (except spins. My latest lession in flying

)

Rob Honeycutt · Nov 15, 2002, 10:11 AM

For fun:
Build a plane a month or so...

about to cocoon my fleet for a year or so, while we build our new house at Pawleys Island. (real big workshop planned!!!)

Work:

Our company designs and builds fall protection systems for railcars and trucks(mostly) for customers in the petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical manufacturing business. I fly around sellling them...

now where is the spellcheck button like RCUNIVERSE has????

Beachernaut · Nov 15, 2002, 10:49 AM
