Just as many and as large in FL, just in the flooded zone of the aquifer. BUT... TN is MUCH more complicated.

30 year fed. Procurement analyst. This particular administration has burned me out with their nonsense initiatives (so-called climate crisis, DEIA, gender bending, etc, etc). Three years until retirement (praise be to Jesus). Can't get here soon enough.

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. I know I’m fortunate that after 33 years I can walk through the airport terminal and see the travelers or feel a 777 landing over my head and the mission burns right through the noise and the bullshit.

Production sound mixer - the guy that heads up the sound department for film and television shoots. Former USMC prior to working in the creative industry. There's actually a lot of similarities between the two fields - I get a nice warm and fuzzy when someone up top looses their shit and starts yelling at someone, carrying heavy shit all over the place, packing / unpacking, eating in the dark, not knowing what's happening next, the list goes on...

CCTV Operator at the county jail, I watch inmates all day via CCTV and operate the doors and everything else electronic in the facility.

I used to fix the camera systems for guys like you, and I worked on the door control systems too. Mostly in county jails, occasionally in prisons. I remember going into the GA diagnostic and intake prison one time the day after they had a riot. You could still faintly smell the tear gas. Inmates broke a water pipe and flooded out a door control cabinet. This setup was pretty modern, with touchscreens galore. To my amazement, the only actual damage was the UPS got fried. Temporarily plugged the power supplies to the equipment straight into 120v and it all worked fine. Some county jails don't have any money and are REALLY winging it on ancient stuff.

I started out in construction working for a self perform construction company that self performed everything in commercial and residential construction work from the excavation work to the finish work and was involved in everything. I ran the heavy equipment (fun), did layout using a theodolite, did lots of cool concrete work, did both metal and wood framing, and installed some pretty nice high end finish work. Then I studied and tried to be an automotive technician and even passed ASE A1-A8 but that lasted about 6 weeks with a Chevy/Cadillac deal after I realized piece work was kind of a cut throat business and not for me, so I went back to the construction industry.

I worked my way up to a construction superintendent (w1 years) which culminated in many 50,000 sq ft to 100,000 sq ft 6-story buildings in Boston MA. My last project I was in charge of a very complex 56 million dollar 6-story building with two levels of parking garage which a new building out of the ground in Boston. This project even had one of the largest tower cranes you could have at the time to set the steel and hollow core planks. The unique thing about this building is that is has four basic types of concrete construction which are slab on grade, composite slab, post tension slab, and hollow core plank. There isn't a building like this one in all of Boston.

Now I work as a project manager doing projects anywhere from $30 thousand dollars to 8-million or more for a very large developer. This position is much less stressful too!
