No worries. When I was in the USAF, I was stationed in Bitburg and loved it. Wish I could go back, Germany is amazing.Now I'm curious: where und why ?

That might be true!
Ouch! Sorry to hear.Well, since I started this thread (not long ago), it appears I am part of the covid-19 job cutting trend. I'm now trying to figure if I want to go back to being a compliance officer or just be a MBA student.
Me too, although they insist its not Covid related ......Well, since I started this thread (not long ago), it appears I am part of the covid-19 job cutting trend. I'm now trying to figure if I want to go back to being a compliance officer or just be a MBA student.
Now you're speaking my language. Awesome. Side note: we are getting ready to launch a high-yield tax-exempt bond...too much work.Probably should have provided a little more clarity. I work in fixed income asset mgmt as a portfolio manager. Specialize in muni bonds and structured product (CMO and CMBS for the most part), and head up muni ESG.
You mention Greece several times...WHat is your relation to this lovely country, if not a secret?i'm a mechanic, or "technician" as its called today. i work with "heavy industry" stuff aimed mostly at mining/metals/construction/demolition/destruction markets. mostly hydraulic and pneumatic machines in one way or another. everything from hand held to many many ton machines. i'm also the product specialist, sales engineer, teacher for the new mechanics, tech support for the retailers and inhouse. tech support for the spare parts sales dept etc etc etc.
basically my job involves wrenching stuff apart with sledges/acetylene/hydraulic wrenches/angle grinders/other fun minor or major destructive tools. then find out whats wrong with the machine, fix that and then reassemble.
i kinda like it. its like all types of metalworking baked into one job. machining welding grinding banging sanding polishing and there is also a precision part in it. you need to have a good eye/judgement for the most minute detail but still need to be able to swing the biggest hammers to solve the problem.
before that i have worked as:
a cnc machinist/programmer/operator, manufacturing similar stuff i'm now wrenching on. more or less. also heavy industry. mostly the oil industry.
interior carpenter or "cabinet maker".
handyman in a paint shop. sanding and repairing the stuff thats gonna get painted.
also did a few years in the bar/club industry in greece for the summers. about 15-20 years ago. i worked in the bar. i can't believe they actually payed me for this but they did. probably the best job i've had.
oh yeah i forgot, i was also in charge of the wet t-shirt contests in greece THATS the best job. i found the contestants, and i also sprayed water on them. those were the days.
but i regard my jobs mostly as my side-gigs more or less. i'm mostly into metallurgy and steel, music production and synths, building bikes and other fun stuff. but its nice to have a fully featured workshop/manufacturing shop to do these things right if i cant make my own stuff at work, well then i would never work there in the first place.
I work in a large team on a specific part of the game, I enjoy what I do but I don't exactly stay late playing games I make .. enjoyment comes from work I do and not the entire product. Not to dis ether game I made, great fun for many people .. but after seeing it 8 hours a day, I kinda need something else. I do play world of tanks, but not on the platform I make it for .. just as a change of scenery.what was the game you enjoyed making the most/ had the most fun with?
I just moved into the office of the Medical Director for the State department of health in our county, right as the covid-19 reared its ugly head
All I wanna do is just ride off into that sunset.....Physician; I did private practice OB/GYN for about 10 years. After about 3,000 deliveries somehow it just wasn't what it once had been. I worked in and supervised public prenatal and family planning clinics for the State Health Department for about 16-17 years. I just moved into the office of the Medical Director for the State department of health in our county, right as the covid-19 reared its ugly head. It's kinda a trial by fire.
