What do you do for a living ?

Retired from the Canada Border Services Agency. Joined Customs and Excise in 1982 and worked downtown Vancouver at Marine then 12 years at Vancouver International Airport then16 years at the Canada/US border. Management didn't like me much cuz I wasn't enforcement minded enough. Now my wife and I are pensioners.
 
For 26 years I worked in the Data Center of a local School District. We processed everything from paychecks to report cards, and everything in between. My main function was writing programming code (I'm talking old school IBM languages - mostly RPGIII with a little COBOL thrown in for the business / accounting department. But I also filled in as data entry, running the printers and system backup when needed. It was a fun, but sometimes stressful job. (Think system crash).

Now I run an eBay store which is nice because I can hide all my listing when I'm out of town, list as much or as little as I want. Total situational control.
 
I run a crew of ten..we rehab big multi unit apartment buildings....down to the studs and remodel as I see fit...currently working on a 24 plex....I am responsible for everything....we hire no subs...ever...for anything...I've hand selected my ten to cover all basis...never run out of work...overloaded actually....gotta smoke the weed just to be able to think about all of it....lol

Started out as a floorcoverer's helper when I was 13...bought it off him when I was 17...ran that for close to 17 years...ran five vans with two people each....pulled work from every floor store in a 50 mile radius....went to school for updates and then got paid to travel a bit and teach new install techniques for all new product......that was cool....carpet layers got the good weed!!! Economy crashed and sold out to take my current position....don't miss it at all....it made me who I am......a dick...lol
