Your assignment, should you choose to accept, is to tell us a bit about your job and post a picture of you and/or your work environment. Don't just give us your job title. Tell us a bit about what your job is and what you do during work hours.

Okay, go!

that easy mine is to pester people on here all day lol

lol.. Was expecting to see yours. Dont u think so?

Had a career with AT&T.
Then I ran vacation rentals.
Now I have one rental, and I do nothing.
Now I just do this:

I don't have a job and I don't know how to post pictures on this site.

--------

How am I doing, Ruthie? Pass or fail?

And you're very good at it!

Thanks not an easy job but it works well lol

Can't post pics from my phone, but I will when I get home.

We have a lot of really cool new people and I was trying to think of some topics to help everyone get to know each other a little better.

Nice work if you can get it.

I figure every second American
who is over 55 had a career with
AT&T. They owned and made everything.

Tell us something else, Sou.

I beleive you, no problem, it's
just I figured you to be more
of an individual... like that
your career was in unearthing
earthly remains of early unearthlings
from middle earth.

Now, there is a mouthful
of earth for you.

Tell us you used to be the salt
of the earth until your calcification
set in. Or that your earthly toils
plugged up all the toilets in Earth
County, Michigan.

On second thought, don't tell us this
last bit, please.

Sigh. What am I going to do with you? You will just have to continue to rely on your wit and great sense of humor to attract the new ladies on Mingle. I have complete faith in you.

Secretary for a top secret firm here in NY......everyones worse nightmare, thats all I can say! Don't know how to post a picture on here...hmmmmm...I'll have to figure it out, or could anyone just tell me? To tired for figurin...lol

Someone has to do it :-)
~~~
Mmm wux, well I invented a few things for the phone company,
mostly formulas and such and they tied up my 'intellectual
property' right off the bat. That way they did not have
to pay you for it. Worked for/with Bell Labs.

Used to program main frame computers for Amdahl.
Gene Amdahl said I was the closest thing to a human computer
he had ever seen, my greatest compliment to date :-)

When I got a Web-TV, I invented (wrote, HTML) the first
test bed (as you were not on a computer, before then there
was no way to see if what you wrote would work online, you
had to have a way to 'test' it first) and I wrote the first
program to enlarge print using HTML, so people with limited
eyesight could see the screen.

I had seen these things listed in a Newsgroup for anyone to
come up with a way to do them. Seemed simple to me.

I set up the first computer network covering the states for
transferance of data for Quality Assurance.
They sent me to Princeton (after about 12,000 male engineers
turned down the chance) to learn that new-fangled thing
..computers..seems a long time ago now, then I taught
engineers how to use them.

I was in mini-skirts and heeled boots, big hair, they always
thought I was someone's secretary, BEFORE class started :-)

I would like to help you, Dawnette, but I`m too tired, too. This weather takes it all out of me.

But my help would not be with posting pics, but with making a pun on being a SECRETary in a SECRET place.

This practically writes itself, and I am still drawing a blank.

Please, somebody throw me a life saver, or a life jacket. Even a straight jacket will do at this point.

Ruth, please don`t count on my help today. I just blasted a sweet, innocent woman for invoking a religious oath in another thread. And she did not even say it was the religious oath or the secular one. So I was doubly unfair with her.

Anyway. I`m signing out. Today`s not one of my best.

What's work? I'm retired.

Souphie... you`re a genius. Truly,
I mean it. It`s always showed in your
quippy, fast wit, which never ceases
to make me laugh.

So that`s who you are... part-
geek, part-computer, part-female,
part-genius... totally Star Wars
material. That Princess Lea must
have done some unspeakable act
to the director or casting agent
to get the part away from you.

(1) Set up a FREE http://www.photobucket.com account.
(This site will 'host' your pictures.)
(2) Upload your pictures from your 'Desktop' or phone to that account.
(3) Use the tags provided by Photobucket to load the pictures
to Mingle2.
(They will show as those to be posted to forums, tags are
complete for Mingle2.) Example: enclose them in:
[*IMG]photobucket address goes here[*/IMG] without the asterisks.

Ok cool Ty for the help Soufie.. I will do this when I have a little more time!

I tried this. Seventy-two differnt permutations and combinations, involving or not: double quotes, single quotes, capitals, bottom-case letters, special characters, unruly characters, etc. and nothing worked.

That was the day when I finally admitted I`ve become over the hill to remain a `techie`.
