Ecstasy Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This being so much like a family, I would like to get to know you all better if you'd like to share! What do you do in your day job? how do you spend your free time (or relax with hobbies?) I know many of you know each other but give me a chance to catch up!

mannoman Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 For those who don't know, I have been in the lottery industry since 1978. Until 2001 I worked exclusively on the Lottery side of the business. I retired in 2001, 1)- because I was old enough, 2)- to get away from the legislative idiots who just don't get it. The BS was overwhelming. I'll stop at that, otherwise this will become a rant.I am still in the business but work on the vendor side. What a relief. We are a security printer based in Florida (parent is Canadian) and supply lotteries worldwide with scratch off tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 You know, when I saw the title of this topic, I thought it was a parody of that David Soul hit song of the 70's, when the "Starsky And Hutch" star moonlighted as a pop star...successfully for a short time.

TheScentLady Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I operate a handcrafted, custom-scented bath and body products business. My username on the board came from a customer's co-worker. I was dropping off an order & the co-worker said "oh, you're the scent lady." (You didn't think I was clever enough to come up with that name by myself did you?

We make loans to, and work with, small/mid size businesses whose financial condition is somewhat less than blue-chip. I'm working on starting my own company in the same industry....I hope to get off the ground this year but still have some hurdles to overcome.

Tony Cartmill Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hurdles...Like how do you launder a gazillion dollars of Colombian drug money without getting a ticket from that crack Homeland Security team?

julesberry Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'm a Cost Analyst at a corporation that manufactures conveyors and conveying systems. I've been here for 22 years. Yikes. I guess you could say this is my second family. After all these years, every week one of the three brothers that own the company hands you your check, chit chats, and wishes you a good weekend. Now you know why I'm still here. In my spare time I used to like cooking, reading, walking, soaking up the sun (which is hard in Wisconsin), traveling and generally just being with my Sweetheart who makes me laugh. And playing with the kitties. Who make me laugh.Now my spare time is filled with wiping down the shower stall, vacuuming, etc. in effort to sell my condo and cleaning up construction dust at the house.Thank God it's only temporary!
