What Do You Do for a Living?

Recommended Posts

I am retired!!   My last job was as President and CEO of Omega Performance.  An international training company that focused on the technical training of commercial lenders, as well as training government agencies that audit commercial loans. 

Prior to that I was a senior executive (VP) with AchieveGlobal, at that time among the world's largest training companies with offices throughout the world.  We specialized in training in the areas of leadership, customer service and sales.  One neat thing we did was do the training for all the volunteers for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.

I have always been in the training and development space since I finished graduate school in 1973.

So now I play golf and do whatever is on the "honey do" list.  :-)

I am recently retired, March, 2019, as a police sergeant. During my career I worked patrol, narcotics and lost my mind when I took a couple promotions. Just recently started playing golf again after a long hiatus and hope to be able to devote quite a bit of time to become much better.

I was a furniture designer and importer for quite a number of years. I retired from that and wasn't happy with retirement, so I applied for and got the job as the Youth Director at my synagogue. I did that for 9 years and was then promoted to Executive Director. I held that position for another 6 years before our synagogue merged with another one. We moved to their building and their management team took over, forcing me into retirement again. I worked part time for 4 years running the proshop at a local golf course and left there about 3 years ago.

I'm now employed full time by 2 while fluffy doggies who make me accede to their every whim.

Retired army surgeon.  I now coach high school track, cross country, and wrestling.  And play golf the rest of the time. So I stay busy.  After 37 years in service and practice, I am enjoying the change.

So sorryto hear about this. There's way too much of this sort of thing going on that gets overlooked in the news of the current economy. I hope you find something enjoyable and satisfying to do into the future.

    • It's been a remarkable slow start for me this year, but I finally cracked through with my first two birdies of the year over the weekend. Ironically they were the 18th at Community (Hills) GC Saturday and then No. 1 at Miami Shores on Sunday. Don't ask about the rest of them. For the purposes of the chart, I'll just use Miami Shores. Most of the golf I play any more is there and normally the front nine only.    
    • 39-35 today for a +2 (74) on a 72.6/129. Struggled over the first few holes as I bogeyed five straight to start. Wasn't even striking the ball bad - just couldn't hit a green and didn't hit good chips + one penalty. Then I went -3 over the next 6 to save the round and then parred the last 7. Golf is fun.
    • The Holdovers. Birdie. I’m a big Paul Giamatti fan and felt this was an exceptional performance. The film has a great blend of comedy and heart felt drama. 
    • I rewatched this last night on HBO Max, and I re-affirm this. I loved Dune Par 1. It finally brought Dune to the big screen in the best way possible. Dune Part 2 is so much better, which is impressive. I like the direction they went with the characters in the story compared to the books. It was brought up to date in a good way. Yea, I am glad to see that they are working on Dune Part 3. 
    • I love Louisville Golf's Niblicks, which they made for me decades ago and I began using again, though I now replaced the shafts for whippier ones (see my recent post). Unlike your photo, mine had steel bottoms. Forget about eBay, Louisville still makes them. They work much better for me than the modern metal woods.
