Wow, so many of your jobs sound more fun than mine.

I'm a plaintiff's side employment attorney. I also do some management work if it means making sure businesses are complaint (so they don't get sued in the first place). I'm putting myself out of business.  :smt002

Quit my firm job within the past year to start my own. NO REGRETS WHATSOEVER  :smt001

Unfortunately, I'm currently "underemployed" at the moment. Used to be a teacher, the assistant manager for my family's farm, and have worked in vineyard management and winemaking as well though.

Sensory Manager at a brewery. I make sure all the beer tastes right before it goes out the door. Just recently re-caught the fishing bug and looking to rehab some of my old gear and find a nice kayak to get going again.

Use to be a Mechanic/Automotive Painter/ Fabricator/ ... Did some world challenge SCCA pro stuff, Club racing stuff, grand am series stuff, did some pit crew work for a few teams. But now I just chill out and do biotech lab work. I traded working with grease and engine with infinite long hours for a night shift in a lab. It's chill for a change and I get to go fishing and see the family . But all I do now is dream up projects and ways to improve rigging my kayak . Gonna plan on designing my own carbon fiber kayak . Hopefully soon. In the mean time I'm wrapping fishing rods.

Glad you got ahold of some undercover. Good beer and great story. Most of our beers are pretty big. If you want to try something with less alcohol and lots of flavor, try the Daytime.

If I am ever down that way I will hit you up!
