Of fiction. Of course my boss thinks I'm doing business analysis....

Previously- chemist in academe. Transitioned to the above due to a dearth of science jobs amidst much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair.

Anybody need an ex-scientist with good problem solving skills, writing skills, and fair model airplane building skills? I've been job hunting forever- seems like it's my second job (still currently employed).

I'm an EE/software engineer:
embedded avionics for 6 years (Sperry: inertial navigation, flight control, GPS)
artificial intelligence for 17 years (Motorola: logic programming, expert systems, legal reasoning, natural language processing)
embedded assembly for 1 year (General Dynamics: shh, can't tell)

For those that don't know, AI and assembly are the opposite end of the software engineering spectrum. I love them both and avoid the middle!

Went to college for 2 years then ran out of money. Was studying Aeronautical Engineering, ARMY ROTC... Two years to go until I got my Lieutenant Bar. Would have been assigned to fly Rotory Wing Aircraft for the Army (3 of my buddys are rotory wing pilots now).

Right now I'm a sandblaster. Will be going back to college after I move out west next year. So, 3 years from now I'll get my bar and become a Rotary Wing Pilot

I make the negative of whatever and design the mechanism to allow undercuts to exit. I allow the throwaway culture to exist. I make things cheap enough to make repair ridiculous. I make medical and dental stuff cheap enough to leave all profits to docs. I am the last of the renaissance men. I am at last a metal sculpture and a mechanical engineer. No we dont get our deserved respect. In this country.

Boo hiss (JUST KIDDING)

I am building and buying a house right now, and it has been very stressful, and the mortgage lenders haven't made it any easier. The only good thing so far is that since I'm a Texas vet, with our Green Builder" home, and since I finally got my VA disability, my current rate is 4.95%, and Monday it is supposed to drop to 4.75%. Now if I can only get locked in.
