Craig Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Jeez, now I really feel like an idiot . All these multi-title job descriptions, and all I can come up with is six little letters...Farmer. Oh well, I guess there is solace in knowing that if all us farmers quit working, everybody else (including those with multi-title job descriptions)will die.

How many arcres? how much livestock? -tom w p.s. I'll be away for the weekend so I will miss all of you until tuesday night, (And Please no wagering, while I'm away, oops I 'm I mean hope I don't miss any GOOD flame wars, so keep it down eh?) I'll be up north for the fishing weekend and we will bring laptops and play Combat mission inside and out ALL weekend long, all four scenario's both the new ones and the two old ones, on the hotset on three laptops in between beer drinking fishing and eating more baked beans and pickled eggs than you can imagine, AND NO this DOES not have ANYTHING to do with WORK! over and out! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Craig: Oh well, I guess there is solace in knowing that if all us farmers quit working, everybody else (including those with multi-title job descriptions)will die.

Craig Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 Tom, I farm in West Central Saskatchewan, where the land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. Currently I farm 1150 acres, 1/4 to each of the crops listed above. The only livestock I have are three self propelled mousetraps (cats) and a couple of wild deer that like to live in the trees around the yard. Farming is still the best way of life, period, but anyone who came back here after 20yrs would be shocked by the changes. It took my father, grandfather and a hired man to run this farm in the 60's, and now there only little old me. Mechanization has really improved (at an extremely high cost, mind you) to the point that if dad comes out to help now, there is nothing for him to do.

Guest ciril Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 I'm a student of electronics here in Croatia. I've been trying to find a LAN support or helpdesk or just PC assembling job in the US but so far no luck (hey, if you know an employer my address is Ciril.Rozic@st.tel.hr). Alternatively I'm looking for a scholarship to finish college in the US. So far I've been a night watchman, camp counselor, programmer, sysadmin and online tech support dude. I am also a good buddy of Herr Wood. I currently resent his wasting time on venting frustrations online instead of on me in VoT. There are bunkers waiting to be busted, dude!

Doug Beman Posted May 19, 2000 Share Posted May 19, 2000 It seems I'm the only one here in sales. Does that make me a bad person? I've worked inside sales for a national computer-stuff reseller since last September (my first real 8-5 post college job) and am contemplating making the change to outside sales at the end of next summer. If you're nice to me, I'll hook you up with cheap computer stuff! DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
