I'm a gunsmith.

I customize, alter, repair, and clean just about anything that comes through the door that's worth my time to work on. I also advise people on what firearms they should buy and rent out and disillusion them as to firearm nomenclature and firearms laws and 2nd Amendment rights.

I don't blow smoke up anyones' *ss and I don't bullsh*t anyone into buying something they don't need. I may not have decades of experience, but I know enough to know what I'm talking about.

I'm also a 4-H youth rifle instructor....but I haven't done that for over 2 years. I also give "crash-course" pistol shooting lessons for $20 for people who are new to guns and want a little bit of coaching.

I drive cars, delivery vans, trucks (lorry's?) and get paid for it:up:
I went into the wall a couple of years ago, so I´m holding back my work effort somewhat nowadays. Getting wiser with age, hopefully:know: :rotfl:

Tech support for a software company.

Time to toss an interesting twist into this thread;

Fess up if you've had a fling with someone you know at/from work. :hmm:
I have, and occasionaly still do. I should feel guilty because for reasons I'm not going to discuss. But it's not like it's love or a relationship either.

Sorry Danurve, I'm surrounded by Infantry grunts, the only flinging that goes on around my job is to fling live 5.56mm rounds at enemy Taliban :hulk:

I'm just a lowly office administrator I'm afraid for a business transfer agent.

Been there about a year now; pretty boring work really but on the plus side my team leader is 22 and hot and I get to sit right opposite her! ;) :|\\

I feel very, very, very sorry for you for the mere fact that you have to deal with the idiots of my generation (18-24), which is basically 80% of them all.

I guess that is a pretty important job in the netherlands huh?

I don't see it that way: every job is important in it's own way. And it does not give me any benefit when I try to sneek in a convoy or try to avoid a DD :rotfl: .

Jimbuna 06-14-08 09:18 AM

Wow! :huh:
