I completely understand CornField.  There are few statements that could be more true.

Real Name: Chris
Age: mid-30s
Birthday: very early in June
Born in: Orlando, FL
Hobby: running, model building, trains, spending time with family
Favorite Airplane: Lockheed L-1011 - except for the old Eastern ones, I also like the 757 and 767-300
Best idea I ever had: going to work for an airline
Worst idea I ever had: going to work for an airline

I had a blast working for them, but the pay was terrible, the hours weren't much better and the opportunity to move up in the company was severely limited.  And I have to admit, I do really enjoy my current job which at least still has connections to aerospace...

I can certain understand this.   Both of my airline industry related experiences were very good and very bad.
But I am much happier in an industry where not nearly so much of your future are in the hands of people who act on the whims of the marketing guys and their 'marketing tools'.

Naw, my experience wasn't as bad. The path I was on just had been filled with new rocks, but when I left the bike abruptly I was catapulted into a field of barley. I bleeded a little and I couldn't move my left wrist&ancle, but no broken bones or anything- even my bike wasn't a complete writeoff!

When I was 5 years old there was a pit full of those bloody plants near the house I was living in, and it was a sport for us kids to drop a ball into this pit and then roll the dice to find out who had to retrieve it... well, I never was a good gambler :roll:

I remember getting stuck in the middle of a black berry patch that was 4 sq miles in area. ( I think I was 4).

I was with my parents until I saw some little birds 8)

My parents found me by playing my favorite song which I was crazy about back then. :)

Yup, if I said anything, I'd be kicked, banned, locked, thrown in the dungeon (ie - Ireland), bounced back out, rejected entry, exiled, and whatnot. If you do request to know, please use other means than PM ;) There are ways.
