Patriot Act stuff?


If so, I accidentally erased a message on my voice mail the other day before I got to hear it. Could you tell me what the Doc. said is up with this rash on my Johnson?

If I'm gonna pay someone to listen to my phone calls there should be some benefits, right?

As of right now, I am a CSR for Hertz car rental. Darn good company to work for, but right now, the way the economy is, my job security is very shaky :( Its ok, because I don't want to do this forever, so if something does happen, it will give me time to finish up school, get my degree, and I'll have the time to take my A+ exam as well... So I can become an IT geek too!

Re: What do you do for work?
 
According to the new org charts, I am a Test Technican for a company that builds semiconductor test equipment (they go by names like Sapphire, DeFT, ITS9000 IX, ITS9000 KX-1024 & KX-768) that we sell to BigLoo's company and other companies in the similar market.

But with the market instability and such, I am looking for new opportunities. I want to open up a restaraunt but I have zero experience with it (but I'm sure the idea I have will be popular because it's a niche in an area that needs to be filled in).

Best place to start: http://www.usajobs.gov/. Most (if not all) federal organizations are now using this common site for job postings.

It's also good to know someone inside who can give some input into the type of openings available. Where are you in your career and what are you looking for? I work for the FAA and I know that there are a lot of controller openings if you have the stomach (or nerves) for that work.
