Was laid off from a well-known Internet Security company located in the Silicon Valley (Northern California) way back in 07'...started my own online business a few days later and haven't looked back! Now, I'm branching out as marketing consultant to local companies here in Eastern Washington where the fiancé and I currently live!

As long as I have internet access, I could even work from an outhouse if I so needed to! LOL!

Retired after 36 years with Northrop-Grumman as an flight test instrumentation engineer, now I work as a tech support engineer for a company that makes airborne telemetry equipment. The best part is that 95% of the time I can work from home or my RV.

People walk up to me in the street and give me money just because I'm so good looking.

My primary job is Nothing. I am a master at doing Nothing and can do it all day when necessary.

Secondary job is Honey-Do.

That's what I do to fill in the time between doing Nothing and more of Nothing

During the week, an architect for a corporate interiors firm; on the weekend, a go-go dancer in a local bar. Yeah, you read that right.

Started working the flight line for the Air Force, then as a diesel mechanic working on Detroit Diesel engines, and (force) retired from the Army. They told me I was TOO old to play with them, even though I could do better on my APFT them most half me age. Now I manage a tire shop and am waiting for the DW to retire in Aug. I still enjoy working with people and the fun stuff that goes on each day. Yes there are days that are NOT fun but ......
I hope to be able to do more hunting/camping/four wheeling once the DW retires but will have to wait and see.

Retired twice as an RN, the first time my wife was still working but her job allowed us to take 4 &5 day trips each week, then she hurt her back, so I went back to work as an RN until we got to the point where we could make ends meet again and retired again. Now we do some consulting work for multifamily housing (which is what she did for a living prior to her back injury) which gives us a little income and plenty of time to travel
