I work at Walt Disney World, have been there for the last 34 years! i started pumping gas at the WDW station. fromthere moved into theme park maint. over the years my specialty became the different roller coasters on the property. now for a change i went to work at the Magic Kingdom Parade Maint building. keeping the shows going on!!!

Isn't that bike you are using for your picture one of the old Magic Kingdom parade bikes?  I think I saw somewhere that they were drifters with an electric motor installed in place of the gas engine.

Blue Knights ride harleys only... or at least that is what I recall.

Funny how many LEO are into Drifters ! Any of you also Blue Knights ?

I am a project manager for HP... and no, if I ever screw up, I will not receive a $50million payout. 

I started 10 years ago as a Customer Service Rep, then moved into operations, and finally PM. Before that I did educational programs around the state of Indiana for, then PSI Energy, now Cinergy. Was a victim of downsizing, but it did lead to my current job, and the chance to move out here to Nebraska. Before that was Technical Director for a Theatre, sold insurance for 2 years (I will see your prison guard and raise you insurance salesman for worst job ever). Before that was a house manager for a theater in Richmond VA, where I met my wife.

I too wouldn't change a thing.

Wow, when you right it all down... I can't hold a job.

[amishart]

Not very political myself

[chief]

did some penetrant inspections in my time in the navy and afterwards... ie NBBI/ASME  ... I won't hold the union stuff against you. My in-laws were buddies with Hoffa in the 60's and did a lot of organizing work. My brother in-laws are still teamsters... though they are independent thinkers and vote conservative. Don't wanna get political!!

[amishart]

Worked 31 years for GE Aircraft Engines, been a grinder,edm operator, parts inspector, engine inspector, furnace operator, laser operator, engine assembler, balance operator, etc. etc. and so on, but the job I've enjoyed the most is being a union rep. for my co-workers at GE. Currently the vice-president of the IUE-CWA Local 701 and training to be a florescent penetrant inspector. I've enjoyed it all.

Gretschmann - love it. I'd like to put together a web page for you and your stuff... do you have any CD's for sale? We could help you out there as well. Send me an email, let's see what we can put together.
