not yet. Just thinking about things I might like to do.

yeh I was going to start on the job for this, but left the job since I wasnt going to be around past the three months it was going to take to really be okay with it all. It'd be fun though. High paced stuff where I need to actually use my brain a little bit is better than mind numbing boring work.

:( that sucks

Here are some good jobs:

model tester (not that kind of model, sheesh)
you get to build prototype model airplanes, cars, and ships. Then evaluate the process and let the company know of any glitches. There are only 3 positions world wide. The highest profile is some hotshot out of University of Maine that works for lockheed martin. Then there's Aaron over in Singapore. I think he's pushing 90 now, haven't spoken for years.

I've got the third spot and I'd only trade it for the other kind of model testing. You know, the one you first thought of which made me say sheesh.

not sure I could get you a job testing models :(

not sure I could build prototypes, even if I could get you a job testing models. :(

damn.

my friend knows a guy whose job it is to design Transformers for a living

like the toy transformers that just had the movie? I'm surprised to hear they still make the toys. I guess maybe they started it up again around movie time? Or have they been pumping out those things since the 80s?

they've been pumping them out since the 80s, the guy had to move to japan to get the job though.

learning every day. at least now I understand why transformers wouldn't just die. if only the people behind masters of the universe had been more stalwart and feisty.
