I used to spend other people's money (outsourcing engineer, aka R&D engineering dept. buyer) to help keep a semiconductor OEM afloat. But I guess reducing their operating costs by a little over a million bucks in under three years didn't keep me from getting laid off. Lesson learned, move on...

I am the foreman for a small (3 man) general carpentry company. We do every thing from footings and foundations to framing, sheetrocking, taping, mudding, trim, cabinets, cabinet installs, tile, siding, roofing, and concrete flatwork. I don't do plumbing or HVAC and I don't admit to doing electrical. Today is rarely the same as yesterday. Troy341

I work as a physician assistant in a vascular surgery practice in Spokane, Wa. I ride a Honda XR650L, most fun I have ever had on a motorcycle. Used to ride a Shadow, but am now thoroughly addicted to the dualsport bike. This is a great idea, the website.
