What do you do for a living

Thought since most of us spent a hefty some on timepieces it would be interesting to see what everyone does for a living. I have been working in finance for a little over 10 years now but hope to eventually land my dream job of being retired.

I do IT and Business Process Consulting and as much golf as I can fit in, unfortunately, can't make a living at that.

As little as possible. I'm retired, which means I'm busier than ever.

Thanks, pal!

Yeah as a matter of fact, back in the studio but juggling schedules is the biggest obstacle, so it's gonna take some time to complete. Got some great guests on this one as well and thrilled with how the tunes are taking shape. Currently listening to some rough mixes but still have 3 or 4 more songs to record. Making the sausage has been a blast so far.

Ever heard of a goat rodeo?

Herding cats?

That’s my job in a nutshell.

4 Corners of the world? that would mean the world is flat?
