That's right... after more than a year of not working, I've finally decided that I'm a grown up person, and I can actually work AND go to school... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Where you ask?

CONGRATS HAT !<br><br>Many many years ago I worked out on the ramp at DFW (back when Braniff International was flying.) I'll just say this, what ever you see, don't worry, that kind of stuff has been going on for a very very long time. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>10 years work history.

Congrats, SH.<br><br>Personally, I can't think of a colder gig than fueling planes in Minnesota during the winter.

hahaha..
