        I am currently the assistant manager at Goodwill Industries. Looking for something else though, as I'm not a big fan of retail. Trying to get into tattooing, or maybe something auto related.

                I am a maintenance man at a 120 bed nursing home. My boss is the only other maintenance man and while he is doing paper work to keep the state happy, Just imagine a house with 62 bedrooms and 75 bath rooms I get to tinker with plumbing,electrical, light AC,sheet rock repair, painting,broke windows, phones,drop ceilings.... and any thing 50 woman can complain about. Those fundamentalist LDS's are nuts to want to deal with multiple wives.

                            V.P. Specialty chemical firm.

                            I try to keep the business running. Handle Osha-DHEC stuff, Taxes, compliance, computers, commo, safety data sheets, logistics, customer complaints, etc. Give the media folk two hour chem lessons when there's a spill and they want to blow it out of proportion, give testimony when someone wants to sue (Always someone trying to sue for something stupid he did with hydrochlorous acid, ammonia, or something, like the chemical manufacturer is to blame and not the idiot that misused it without reading the warning labels).

                            Most of the time it's a PITA, but it pays pretty well for the area. Keeps the lights on.

                            I'm also deep into entheobotanicals, herbology, bio-informatics, embedded computing, telecommunications (embedded pbx systems, Asterisk VOIP), media centers, sustainable living (I have a three year old forest garden), open source medicine, news and politics.
