Marketing business analyst for a large grocery distributor. 9-5 sounds like a dream to me, I'm usually 7am-6pm so needless to say im itching to drive after work.

I am a pre-sales Consulting Systems Engineer at Cisco. I am focused on Cisco's entry into the x86 blade and rack server market. The products are part of the Unified Computing System or simply UCS.

Its not really a 9 to 5 job. I mostly work from home unless I am out visiting customers 2 to 3 times a week. And I do travel quite a bit.

Own two bodyshops.... graduated in Civil Engr'ing, have never done it...lol. Not only does it allow me to fuel my passion (cars, bikes, trucks, etc, etc) it allows me to modify everrrrrything.

Frustrating at times but love what I do.

Retired after a 33-year career as a high school business teacher.

I'm now driving on a part-time basis for our local Senior Citizen's Center. Sometimes I fill in for either of the two meals-on-wheels drivers, and sometimes I take seniors to their medical appointments.
