So is this the effect of things opening up? - somebody is back to work and, having found the end of the internet, is now resorting to dredging up the 'where are they now' file of old posts?

Thank you sir. I liked learning things the hard way when I was a kid I guess.

A spambot (from Louisiana and driving an Opel) woke the old thread up yesterday. The spam has since been removed by the moderators.....

No.....I'm at a privately owned chemical plant in SC that specializes in nasty stuff. Run Silent and I discussed it awhile back. Combined our work interests could take out the southeast part of the country if something went wrong.

We are on every state agency monitoring list....and also monitored by the Department of Homeland Security.

Kudos to you for your perseverance!

Yup - you know you work somewhere cool when I have to move all of the cyanide poisoning kits out of the way in the fridge to get to my lunch.

University of Central Florida: I'll graduate this fall with a B.S in Biochemistry and a B.S in Economics. Took me 5 years including a year of dual enrollment.

Will be starting an M.D./M.B.A program at UF fall of 2021.

Go Knights! And Go Gators!

Sold the 360 - if you recall from the original post - it was really just a bucket list item and a test to see if I could own one and spend very little money. I succeeded.

Refresh my memory - weren't you getting an engineering degree? What type again? We are looking to hire several engineers this fall.

Oh - can't recall if I entered my comment for the thread. I hold a bachelors degree in accounting, a Master of Accounting (M.Acc) and an MBA. I am also a CPA.

Previous life was military followed by working for a government agency overseas. Now am a VP for a large public company.
