At the age of 21 I started a career in commercial aviation (3rd generation) I did maintenance and did some manufacturing Gulfstream, Boeing's 787. After 10 years of traveling, crawling around cargo bays and ridiculously long hours, sometimes I pulled 26 hour shifts while on the 787, my wife said enough is enough let's slow down find a 9-5er and actually do more then work and pay taxes. I went to college in my early thirties got 2 degrees and now I work for the great state of Florida I am on-site and keep 256 users online, accounts unlocked (they go on vacation and forget their password) and keep their computers, printers, fax machines working while maintaining 2 servers.

I was reading previous posts about health insurance, before this job kicked in Obama fined me for not having insurance. Now i have ridiculously good insurance, great retirement and best of all no more weekends I'm not even on call.

The best part working for the state my college is now free I can take 2 classes a semester and only have to buy books. If I were to get accepted to U.F. they are also free to state employees. The pay is no where near my old job but the fringe benefits are fat I pay $240 monthly for me and the wife for health, vision, dental.

Yes.. We're having a duel at noon! I've never been accused of being "proper".
No, I'm sure that you haven't.

Ok, so I didn't know what a twin peaks restaurant was, now I need to visit one!

People compare us to hooters mostly, but to me the only similarity is the All female staff. Our restaurants are completely different from theirs. Heck ask the guy above that just went if it's anything like a hooters. I don't know him but I bet he will tell you it's night and day.

Yea quite a bit different. Alot nicer place. the girls were great, more relaxed they didn't cut us off which hooters will. I guess most places you feel like your in and out where here its feels like your favorite local bar you could stay there and watch 2 football games in a row. Food was great, prices were reasonable great scenery!
