Maria and I are both former professors from the Univ of North Texas, and both into generative linguistics and language acquisition (and, in Lynn's case, program administration). Presumably sort of like semi-retirement, we bought this RV park/campground in Angel Fire -- though I still work for the university. What a split! In one moment, I'm answering student questions, and in the next I'm cleaning the bathhouse.

Oh, what do we do for work? So wierd, since it seems so irrellevant to what we do with our trailer. Rick is a supervisor up at Micron and going to school at night. I do project management and financial analysis for foreign civil aviation administrations looking to upgrade their safety systems.
Of course, in our alternative reality, we live in 1961, I am a glamorous movie star (wearing sequined gowns and cat glasses) and Rick is a millionaire playboy. We use our faboo trailer to shuttle between our decadent dream homes in Hollywood, Palm Springs, Palm Beach and Manhattan. Servants take care of the rest and often drive our trailer ahead for us and we fly in on our private jet. Our trailer fridge is stocked in caviar and champagne.
But at least 8 hours a day, we have to abandon that for more mundane concerns. Well, at least we have the trailer part of that life--and with a bit more effort, it may even become faboo!

After nearly 25 years as an Admin Asst, working in universities and government research instutions, I'm now a home mom -- household CEO, CFO, head of procurement, building and grounds maintenance supervisor, head chef and baker, child care provider, taxi service, etc. etc.. In my spare time I pursue the artist's life (watercolor painting and botanical art). For money, I'm a leech. Doug has a paying job as a research linguist (computational). He actually earned a PhD in order to do this and I can attest to his success by his ability to support all my hobbies.

I am VP of Technology for a large company. Sounds cool, but it's still a job. I have some vacation flexibility, but taking more than 1 week at a time is silently frowned upon. This is very limiting when living in the middle of the country, where many travel destinations are a long distance away. Retirement is another 12 years away.

Congrats on the BIG 500! I am the asset manager for a commercial construction company. Our company owns tons of tools, equipment and a couple warehouses. I'm in charge of everything which is a HUGE benefit when working on the Bubble. My wife is a financial aid advisor at a state college.

I'm Telecommunications Manager for the convention center (America's Center) and the domed stadium facility (Edward Jones Dome) here in St. Louis. We are now working towards getting ready for the Final Four tournament next week.
http://www.americascenter.org/
I previously spent 8 years as Telecommunications Manger for the local community college district (St. Louis Community College) and previous to that had a 26 year carreer in the banking industry, working my way up from Computer Operator to I/S Manager. Unfortunately I was always on the wrong end of the buyout picture.
I went from lots of vacation time (at the college) to trying to now fit in time between the conventions, sports events, and trade show business. The good side is the change of jobs made good financial sense along with me knowing that the retirement is not that far away, although with the cost of health care these days, it makes one think twice about that.
Patty and I have always talked about the fact that we could go down to Branson and work at Silver Dollar City. She could be one of those crafts people, showing off her skills. Me the techy guy, will probably be the one with the long white beard and bib overalls, carrying the broom with the little pan, sweeping up the cigarette butts, and other assorted trash off the paths.

I make people live longer.
It is my business to prevent deaths due to cardiovascular disease (stroke and heart attack) by controlling diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressures. We fundamentally alter the probability of cardiovascular disease through earlier detection and far more precise treatments. Targeted therapy is rare (typically done in 0.5% of clinics) but is able to achieve conventionally unprecendented results. The problem is that good lipid and diabetic control is difficult to obtain without a deep knowledge, aggressive approach and passionate dedication to making great things happen for patients. It also does not pay as much as putting a stent in the coronaries...its not too bad, though.
Cheers!

Kimber is an Agency Specialist for a Fortune 200 Insurance Company.
Mark leads a team implementing Manufacturing Software Globally for a Fortune 200 Company. Sounds like I need to get in touch with Dan (dmac) for some guidance!

This could go in "Now let's see you"
My actual title would be something like Control System Software Engineer, but here's what I work on.

You mean you're not all millionaires?! Page and I are not so different after all.
I'm an accountant (spec in IT audit) and Page is a crackerjack programmer analyst. We are both retiring next month, though young, because where we are and what we are doing is not worth it any more.
We are going to put some road dust on the hardware.
Pat.
