Re: What do you do for a living?

Man, crazy realizing this was ten years ago...

I had just finished my foray into graphic design only to find I hated the thing I went to school for. It was this cramped ass cubicle, working in a sweat shop. I remember looking at some Yahoo group and eventually Yahoo searching (that's right, Yahoo bitches) "Redskins Chat Forums". Eventually, I got here and the rest is history.

Met some lifelong friends. Gmanc and Daseal have come to visit on multiple occasions to watch the draft in good ol' Lexington and we've met for tailgating and a baseball game this summer. I need to get up to DC more often, :P.

Worked part-time as IT at Washington and Lee University, made it full-time and now am the IT Director at the Law School there. We're all so GD old!

Re: What do you do for a living?

I've worked in manufacturing (a factory/factories I suppose) for 30+ years.
I am a quality engineer for a company that makes housing products.
Mostly decorative glass, screen doors, blinds and stuff.
Unfortunately we buy a lot of stuff from China so I spend half my day sending emails to China and the rest of the day measuring/evaluating and inspecting material.
I'm seven years from retirement and counting every minute.....

I've always wondered if peoples screen names fit their personality.
You in particular. I was young when Alvin played but I remember him as a wild and reckless player.
I wouldve guessed you were a bouncer or strip club DJ.

A few others based on their name:
Drave: Shot girl at a popular night club
Punch It In: Jersey Shore Guy who likes rough sex
Lotus: Masseuse at a rub and tug joint
Chico18023402830820348203: Southbeach bald cuban with a white ferrari. DALE!
Schneed: Sarah Jessica Parker. Not sure why but i hate both of them! Theyve done nothing to me... Sorry

This literally made me LMAO.
Just for the record I do live on the Jersey Shore and (i think depending on your definition of it) i like rough sex. Well lets be honest...i like any sex I get these days (with my wife of course). However I really hope im not thought of as one of the Jersey Shore cast. I do not like boom boom club music or pretty much anything else guidos do!
Edit: but it beats being a masseuse at a rub and tug joint so ok....jersey shore guy is just fine. .....

LOL! That could probably be a thread all in it's own: "Does your screen name represent you?"

Poor Schneed. I was about to ask if he had a horse face, but he responded that he didn't. Not a big fan of her, but Schneed's cool in my book.

Nailed it! Good job! Me love you long time!

Actually, as I was in 2004, I am a professor of world religions who teaches the religions of India, Tibet, and Native American religions at a research university. I just finished writing a book on comparative religious experiences with nature. My screen name comes from the lotus flower, which is an Indian symbol for sacredness.

Is Dan Snyder going to Hell for what he has done to the nature of this franchise?


I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows.

No. But we all are Skins fans as punishment for sins committed in a previous lifetime.

That is bad on so many levels for me. I hate the idea of reincarnation. I like to believe After I die I hitchhike through the galaxy forever. Also it means I was a worse guy than Snyder my last go around. Dammit.
