Hey Rockgurl - I know what you mean about working in a hospital. I did two summers working as an Operating Department Orderly when I was at Uni. Incredible experience - especially when we had a team come in to do a 'kidney harvest'. Best bit was when they called the recipient from the staff room immediately after removing the kidneys : "You're where? Down the pub? Ok - don't have anything more to drink - get yourself to the hospital - we have a kidney for you!"

Anyway... These days I'm a Technical Product Manager for Sun Microsystems. That means I talk to customers about their software requirements and translate that into something the engineers can build. Then I take what the engineers have built and explain to the customers how it solves their problem. I was in engineering for 12 years before, but felt the call of the dark side (marketing).

Cheers,

Pat

unfortunately in our part of the woods wabbits dont rule, but they do make a yummy pot pie, and if i could find someone a bit handy a new pair of gloves wouldnt go amiss either.

catching wild turkeys is somewhat akin to catching pigs ...it takes
skill, determination and all round knowledge of the game ... oh and a gun !

I thought you just went out into the woods and made a noise like a turkey and they all come flocking round. Or did you mean the Bourbon? (Nastly stuff, anyway.)

Oh, right then... a drive-by should do it! Forgot to say I see them at the side of the hi-way... sorry!

My Dad and Step Mum are coming for thatnksgiving... they'll just be shocked I even attempted cooking a turkey, let alone hunting and killing it! Mind you I did burn my feet cooking last years dinner.

Now I understand. Don't feel bad. A few Christmases ago a couple of English friends and I were doing dinner for the locals - turkey, roast potatoes. bread sauce, Christmas Pudding, brandy butter, - you know, the whole thing. Well, we dropped the turkey taking it out of the over. Each of us blamed the other or course (I told them not to drink the port until the cheese course!). Anyway, we scooped it up and nobody was any the wiser. These things go in in the best kitchens.

Before that I was a Sports Writer for the local paper.
I got insurance with State Farm mate. Car, house, life the lot there great. It turnsout the jingle in the advert is true too...." we live were you live" How weird! Wanna go out for a one night mate?
