I need to update mine as well:

Pharmaceutical development manager for a POST-market biotech company (Whoo-hoooooo!!!! Go Alexion!!!!). We got approval for our first drug last month, and hopefully someone's selling some of it. :-)

8 1/2 years and counting, and still hoping for a buyout!

Im an unemployed wanna-be student hoping to get a job at Stetson University so I can go back to school. I only live across the street. Im a veteran, former state employee, worked with missile systems, worked on the Shuttle's Return to Flight Initiative, administrated an electronics company, but cant get a job? what gives? Anybody need their car washed? I recently had to abandon my classes at DBCC with a 100 average in college algebra to go work a one week assignment in Athens, GA that paid 24 bucks an hour. Eat or school? At least it was a fun camping/ working trip.

Hopefully not here much longer at this rate. The hilarious part is chicken processing plants in Alabama pay more than the median income in Volusia County.

People hate it when I say that. lolololololololol

I'm a photographer. Hence the vehicross.info handle "PHO2GR4", which is also my license plate (on my Z, not my VX). I've been taking pictures since I was 7 years old, and I went professional around 23 years ago. Talk about a dream job...I get paid to do what I love. Don't tell my clients, but I'd probably shoot for free!

And it gives me a very flexible schedule, which is why I can take impractical, expensive road trips whenever I want.

Systems engineer for a defense contractor. In my spare time (yeah, right), I rework my old house (she hits the big 4-0 this year). The house is a labor of love and, at times, frustration. Did I mention that plumbing is from hell!

Maybe when I overnight in PA or NC or anyother state fellow VXer's are located we can get together. I am spending New Years in Charlotte, NC... Anyone out there??? And I will be in Pittsburg tomorrow? Anyone? Or how about Manchester, NY on the 23rd??? Anyone...? I will be rather bored??

The pay sucks! about $15 per flight hour and $1.26 for every hour I am on the ground. I am the lower man on the todem pole so I got paid about $700 last month... Sucks! But I have a more steady schedule now and that should double this month. But it still sucks! I am used to much more working as a server. But it has great benefits! And I love my job!

I work for Mesa Airlines. They are a codeshare with Delta, United and US Airways. We fly all of their express flights. I fly out of O'Hare, so I fly all the United Express flights. I am looking to go mainline, but it will be hard to get a line. I will be sitting reserve for so long. But if the pay is better, it might be worth it. I am looking at going to Southwest!

I have heard some crazy things about flight attendants and married pilots away from home... watch out for those guys! But have you noticed yet, party-scene pilots with party pads hosting port to port parties? I know you don't drink, but it still sounds like some good times... ENJOY!

I'm a career Creative Director (Graphic Designer) and remodeler of houses (mostly my own right now) in the spare time I don't have.
