I've always wondered how diverse a community the COTG family is.
So since age/family/etc has been asked, what is everyone's occupation?
I work for the communications department of Human Resources for UPS in Louisville.
But, I'm training to get on the Police Dept. Whether I do or not, don't know, but think it's worth a try.
So going from a nice, safe office job to the police. Oh well..lol.

I work as a store mgr for Rent-A-Center in Spartanburg,SC. Been there for 8 years now. I do everything from deliverying merchandise(try carrying a 65in. phillips big screen up to the 3rd floor of Timberlane Apts.) to knocking on people's door when they try and ignore their pymts.
I work about 65-72 hours a week, which sucks but this job is pretty much all I know since I've been doing it for so long.

I am a police officer in the city of Hinesville, GA, a nice little military city next to Ft. Stewart. I've been doing it for a little over a year and currently am assigned to the overnight shift (10pm-6am). Before that, I got my criminal justice degree while working at Books A Million, and plan to go back and get my master's degree someday so that I can try to go state or federal. But, for right now, I am a lowly beat officer. ;D
Peace.

I've been running a home business off my website and off eBay for about the last 2 years. Stuff got really bad in January so I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up, so I'm working 8-14 hour days to try to turn things around. Hopefully it'll work out.
Before this I was a webmaster for a retirement village for about 2 years, and before that I worked on the support staff of a Junior college where I lived before.

I work for the largest on-line Mortgage Lender in the Nation (we also own the Cleveland Cavaliers). Technically I work in all 50 states as a banker. I am also part of the "60-72 hrs. per week if not more crew" like some of you...
but eventually I can move to anywhere I want in the U.S. and work from home...that's my goal.

Right now, I'm working very part-time as a Research Assistant at UMD. Other than that I'm living off of student loans in a very shady neighborhood. Not too good.

Full time community college student on financial aide since my family is so fuggin poor. Thought about a job, but I think if I got too much money, they'd kill my aide.
Plus, I'm lazy.
I also have a completely nuked knee that I have to keep wrapped 24/7, yet can't afford to get state help for, and can't afford the 300+ doctor visits.

I am an Instrumental Music teacher at a High School in the 2nd largest school district in Michigan (largest being Detroit Schools). It's about 25 miles Northest of Detroit.
I've been teaching for 7 years. Tom and I always compare teaching stories when I see him, so that's one great thing about it!
