I collect the kittens that Paul drowns and sell them to restaurants (you can guess what kind).

For the last 10.5 years I have been the executive director of the MRV Chamber of Commerce. Prior to that a bank branch manager, so now I am a recovering banker.

I'm an Engineering Technician for the Department of Transportation in NH, two years now. We do things from repaving/paving roads(betterment projects) to repairing/replacing drainage systems on the state owned roads, that's just a few of the many things we do. I actually support the Engineers by taking measurments/info for each project and drawing up the plans and details in CAD.

Before I started working for the state, I was an Engineering Technician/Sheet Metal Programmer for private companies in both NH and Maine, then they started outsourcing way too much and sending our work overseas to China and to Mexico, so came the "downsizing"

I tell you working for the state is so different from working in the private sector. Some good points, some bad points. The state has some great benefits with a lot of time off, but doesn't pay as well as in the private sector. I don't mind it too much, just wish it payed better and my position wasn't so far of a commute. I have almost an hour commute each way, every day.

If I had to pick one, it would be Naive Melody. Generally not much of a 'love song' type of guy, but I think it's the best one I've ever heard

As for more upbeat Talking Heads, I'm a big fan of Cross Eyed and Painless

After years of struggling (to stay awake) I have worked my way up to the position of minor level bureaucrat. A noble endeavor filled with the satisfaction of knowing that I made the mortgage payments, paid for tuition, food, second hand ski equipment, cars weddings and in late live a few ski trips. If I had to live on job satisfaction I would have starved to death in the first year. However I am fast approaching the pinnacle of my career…Retirement. 472 days to go and then live can begin. I will ski whenever I want (pending spousal approval). I have every intention of placing strategic phone/picture calls to various people from the top of every mountain with cell service, just to let them know I’m thinking of them.
