Do you offer a two for one special?  I need one stabbity stab and one Guaranteed Stibbity Stoobidy Stab with Ninja Star Slice.  If I get the two victims... I mean, beneficiaries together, can I get a "Convenience Discount"?? Oh what the hell, just put it on my Visa!

I'm a family nurse practitioner.  I currently work in a Neurology clinic.  It is fascinating work.  I get to see all the patients that no one else could figure out!

I'm a retired now but when I was younger I was a Firefighter and when not doing that I was a small engine mechanic.

I used to work in the computer field, first as a software engineer, then technical project leader, and finally as a project manager. I took a few years off to travel the country, and am now a fulltime artist. The wallet's not as happy, but it's much more fullfilling. :)
If we ever travel thousands of light years to a planet inhabited by intelligent life, let's just make patterns in their crops and leave.

... I've been searching e-bay for a big inheritance - no luck so far...

^^^ A yodeling pickle! Whatever next!

Did you seriously provide the voice for a yodeling pickle?  I've seen that toy!!!  We used it in one of our sales trainings!

I work in the Merchant Services industry.  We provide the service that allows merchants the ability to accept credit cards.  I work in Client Relations, specializing in global hospitality merchants.  It's fun because I get to talk to people all over the world, and I am hoping to translate that to traveling all over the world too.  So far my only "international business travel" has been to Vancouver, but I may be going to Mexico City next month, and I am really angling for a chance to go visit our London office and our Dublin office.

Cool!  Must have been a fun class ;-)

Yeah, Archie McPhee had a yodeling contest.  I was already a singer, so I went to YodelCourse.com and took their 10 free lessons.  Next thing I knew, I was a yodeling toy, and knee-deep in rubber chickens (that was the pay for the gig).  Since then it's been featured on the Today Show, and had a number of local paper articles written.  Free Press!

That was during my "year of winning things"...

Happy Pickle,

I don't even have a job. Even though I really want one so I can pay my parents back for community college (this isn't something they ask for, it's something I feel is right to do) and become independent. Independent enough to at least start paying for myself anyway.

Otherwise, I'm a music student. I have an Associate's from community college. Probably doesn't mean much of anything, but for me personally it does.

I want to go into Instrumental Music Education and become a band director. Teaching Music History would be fun as well, but I don't think they have Music History courses at high school level (or below, of course). So it's an either or thing. I thought I was so sure about becoming a band director, but now I don't know... I'm such a mess.

For now, I just want a job working at a musical instrument store so I can get money (and more instruments.)  :P.

I am going to get my GED soon and then work on getting my certificate in gunsmithing. After that I'm going to take a few business courses and hopefully get a small business loan to open up my own shop.

What's a GED?

The Yodelling Pickle



That's the one!  One of our top sales guys did a hilarious presentation on the pickle.  I don't actually remember specifics about the activity we were doing, I just remember some semi- risque jokes about having a pickle in his pocket, and then it started to sing.
