Government Agent!

 

Aside from numerous clerk-typist positions in my earliest days, my "career" took some interesting twists and turns.

Patent law, specifically handling applications, from "both sides of the fence", an examiner's aide for a few years in the US Patent Office and a few more as an assistant in patent attorneys' offices. I think I can still recite most of 35 USC 103 from memory ;

Purchasing assistant for a small chemical firm (essentially the start of my bookkeeping/accounting);

Long-distance accounts for an Allied Van agent, everything from computing broker-drivers' shares of revenue to setting up fuel-tax payments;

And most recently, nearly 20 years as industrial accountant/computer wiz/customer service rep for a small but highly successful plastics manufacturer. Took disability retirement from that in the fall of '95 after head injury from a bad fall at home.

And that's not counting about 6 months as a prison guard (whoops, sorry -- correctional officer). Plus about 20 years of driving taxi weekends as a second job. And there's probably a few other twists that have slipped from my admittedly less than perfect memory.

 

Time-served Steam and Diesel Marine Engineer (Trawlers)....Then National Service...Then Trawlers again (15 Years).....then left that and went into Commercial Heavy Goods Vehicle Engineering and Fitting.....got fed-up with that after 15 Years and went into the Construction Industry (Self-employed.. )...stayed in that doing Building, Plumbing, Joinery and Electrics...made enough to retire at 55 (16 Years ago) Thank you very much....and now, my Darling Janet and I are trying to live happily ever-after......THE END....(or not)... ....A Good Life...Enjoyed every day....Made some fabulous Life-long Friends...and we Love and respect each other very much......And that is as much as a Man can ask of his lot....
