Hoss Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 so, what do you do to support your CAS habit? I'm operations manager for a towboat/barge company. We operate boats and barges on the Gulf coast, primarily between Lake Charles LA and Brownsville Texas. (but dont tell my mother I'm in the towboat business, she thinks I play the piano in a whorehouse ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Accounting and payroll for a non-profit. Horrid stuff... the numbers; not the non-profit. Mind you, this is after over two decades as a banker in San Francisco - made a lot of money there, but finally came to my senses and traded a high $$, very high pressure career for a simple, HONEST job and a LIFE in the country!

Bama Red Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm a drain on the public economy, living off the fat of the land, one of those guys sitting on a bench in a public park, feeding the birds and answering the voices in his head. In other words, I'm retired! In another life, I was security director, chief theft investigator and safety director for a large public utility.

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Let's see. Yesterday morning, I was an ammunition assembly technician. In the afternoon I was head of accounts payable. This morning I will again be an ammunition assembly technician. That of course will be right after home janitorial services are completed. In the afternoon, I think I will be a movie critic. Tomorrow... I have no plans yet but there is new brass (mine not customers)) sitting on my kitchen table. 1000 38spl and 1000 357mag. Probably do something with that in the morning. Or not. Friday, I do have to get started on two new targets for this years Brimstone Pistoleros "Thunder Valley", coming up mid June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prescott Palmer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I sell beads and jewelry making tools on the internet. Though I'm retired and a disabled vet my wife lets me use the extra gold I make to buy guns, cowboy clothes, reloading stuff etc. I've been self employed since the late 70s. The Army made me very adverse to taking orders, seams i just don't work well with others. I'm on my break now but I have to go back to filling orders, have a couple of guns I want to buy.

Grizzly Dave Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Prescott - so you are to blame for all the beads and jewelry making tools my wife buys on the internet!!! Me, I am an over the hill, out of touch, times have passed him by computer programmer. Been with the same company for coming up on 30 years and have seen it grow from around 300 down to 5. Yes, just five of us left. If I had any brains I would have moved on many years ago to a 'real' company where I would have been forced to keep my skills current. But we all know I don't have any brains. I wish I'd win the powerball so I could be retard like Badger Mtn Charlie. But I hear tell ya can't win unless ya buy a ticket, so I might should adjust my plan a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prescott Palmer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yea Grizzly I'll take the blame. Just let her keep buyin' I want some more guns. However if she really is buying from me (Mats Beads on ETSY, EBAY & ARTFIRE) tell her to drop your name and I'll give her a discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Not on ebay, we don't do that any more, not sure about the others. There are several stores locally that specialize in beads, so she frequents those a fair amount too. PM me a link to your stuff and I'll pass it along.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 ... Me, I am an over the hill, out of touch, times have passed him by computer programmer. Been with the same company for coming up on 30 years and have seen it grow from around 300 down to 5. Yes, just five of us left. If I had any brains I would have moved on many years ago to a 'real' company where I would have been forced to keep my skills current... Hey Grizz (and others), My last paid job was as a software systems tester. That involved everything from JCL (ain't that stuff fun...) and COBOL (batch and online) to programs with GUIs. I loved testing; dealing with Programmers when I found their mistakes not so much. (I'm sure that wouldn't be the case with you.) Grizz, you might like working for a State Government agency. No one wants to program or test the old stuff. If your state is anything like CA, there is plenty of the old stuff behind the scenes, especially batch programs. Besides the medical benefits are great (at least in CA). After retiring, I went back to work for a while as a Retired Annuitant, until Ahnald fired all of us. One of the programmers called me a Retarded (for working) Irritant (for continuing to test and find errors in his programs). Now, I am a seamstress, cook, house cleaner (as little as I can get away with), cat/dog herder, groundsperson, and SASS Wire Administrator.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Retired after 26 years in the military. Couldn't find any positions for someone who thinks true happiness is a belt fed weapon. So I started a small non profit business (not intended to be non profit) smithing guns. Put all my proceeds into the business (CAS guns) so the cash flow is somewhat stunted. I do have lots of parts though. The problem is most of my parts is in the guns <}:-) Real annoying that I can't get smilies in my iPad.
