Do you have any for humans?

For me, last 15 years in project management for software implementations (CIS for Utilities). Now have gone to the Dark Side and am consulting with said Utilities to keep vendors honest.

I'm sure my companies' research division is working on it. I'm in the design and deliver group. If research hands us some crazy memory chips to design for plugging into a socket in our heads I'll let you know. I know I could use a few extra Gigabytes of storage in my head. Instead I just carry it around in the form of a phone in my pocket.

Commercial pilot till Reagan fired all the striking air traffic controllers, then telecommunications for the next 30 years. Retired now for 3.5 years. Just invested in a company that invented a machine to render regulated medical waste benign. Now getting sucked into the sales side of the business. Initially said no way will I work for anybody 40 hours a week until they told me I could work from my boat. Gotta get that sound proofing in so I can hear the cell phone at WOT.

Gym, that is no problem. Just connect your phone to the radio with an accessory plug and the phone rings through the stereo speakers. I play Pandora through my phone on the boat this way and it works great.....Time to go boating, I mean go to work...

Really fun to see what everyone on here does.
I just hit 30 years as a pilot for Delta (25 years at Northwest before we merged), and might stick it out for another few years. My wife does the same thing, and since we will be empty nesters as of this fall, she's threatening to start flying trips with me!

Crew Chief / Aerial Observer 1984-1990... AH-1 Cobra pilot 1990- 1998 Tennessee Army National Guard. Law enforcement pilot since 1992, only 13 years to go....

 

[Geiger41]

@cwoav8r you have to do 35 years in Florida on the job !?!?!?!?!!!

 

[Lawson2479]

Not a lot of us medical people on here. I started out 28 years ago assisting in surgery and E.R. went private for an Orthopaedic surgeon for a few years. He relocated back to Fl but I stayed and went to school for Physical Therapy. As did my wife. I work covering several rehab companies and the wife does home health. When we sell the house we are looking to relocate back to Fl. @primedoc my oldest will graduate PA school the middle of next year. Now that he is in his clinicals he loves it more everyday. I think he is going to go into Emerg. med. He loves the adrenaline rush.

@geiger41, It's complicated... we only have to do 25. In Florida we earn 3% per year based on our high five (high risk service). We vest in six years... we have the option to DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Program) at or before a certain age and work for five more years, our employer no longer contributing to our retirement. Those five years in DROP we are technically retired but continue to work and our retirement checks are invested at a guaranteed rate of return. Five years later they give me a lump sum check for the past five years retirement pay plus interest and I start to draw my monthly retirement, which in my case will be roughly 90% of my high five. Had I been younger when I started I could have earned 99% of my final check...

My math sucks so those number are approximate...

 

[Geiger41]

Was actually thinking of transferring to Florida. I have a little over 9 years and am 35 years old. Can retire in NJ when I am 50/51 @ 66.6 of my final salary (25 years o.t.j). Not sure if it would be worth it. And would probably get crushed in a pay cut I'm thinking.
