Hey guys, what's the longest amount of time you've kept a bucket on your head? My personal record is six days.

But that was summer camp back in '97... we had some really, really wild times.

^ Yeah I can't really mock that, cause now you turned it into a legit convo. Way to go buzzkill.

Bucket, call off your next insult and save it for later. ****..

BTW, I do hate my job. I've been there for long enough.

the independently wealthy and early retired would like to say hi to pathetic, assuming losers like you.

WTF are you talking about? He obviously wasn't talking about you since this was your first post in the thread.

Or did you just see it as an excuse to brag?

I get up, go to this place, later they give me money. I drink coffee. My car tires are black. I park my car in my garage but every now and then I leave it in the driveway. Inside my mailbox on certain days there is mail. On a few others, none. My refrigerator keeps my perishable items cold. I draw water from my sink but I don't drink it. I buy bottled water that I do drink.

30 yrs in the field. Retired a few years ago, but still check in on my business to make sure it stays solvent.

Just started year 4 with this company. I work for a family owned business, but I'm not a part of the family. (Yay!)

I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut."
That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.

Sometimes, especially in the morning, I wonder where apple cider comes from? All different colors of it. Then other times I think that somewhere, maybe the sun, there are other living things and maybe they don't have apple cider. Strange, coincidences like that. "Cantaloupe" is a funny word. I wonder how people say it in other languages?

Retired after 30 years of welding/machine work after my injury.

"Reinvented" myself; been with the same company 10 years now. Had 3 promotions. Probably going to rise as high as I can now, but it's cool. I now get 3 weeks vacation; I can work at home when I need to, and sometimes when I want to, and have the best boss I've ever worked under, which means a hell of a lot.

Start at my new employer tomorrow. In my profession, 95% of people who move up, do so by changing jobs. I have worked at the following places:

2000 - 2002 - George Washington University
2002 - 2008 - University of Pennsylvania
2008 - 2016 - University of Oregon
Start tomorrow at Loyola University Maryland

About 17 years in the Industry(Semiconductor) but last year was the first time back in it since 2005. **** has totally changed and is pretty much over my head. May need to look elsewhere soon, or maybe find something else within the company that's more my speed.

Quite a few job changes. Can't keep the hands off the sorority girls, eh?
I had to get out before they caught me!

We generally have Graduate Assistants, Coordinators, Assistant Directors, Associate Directors and Directors. It's very similar to coaching in that you work your way through the ranks, usually by switching schools to set yourself up for that first head coaching job (Director in our case), which is usually at a smaller school, then you look to move up to a larger school. I've enjoyed moving from school to school.
