I am in the IT field working for a international hotel chain. I basically project manage what systems goes into the hotel for all the new constructions. Dealing with ownership and management on a daily basis.

Best part of the job is to see the world and meet with different people with different background and culture.

We're a dog-child family as well. As for the obidient from the get -go part, you've obviously have never owned an Alaksan Malamute! 51/2 years old and he still olny listens when he wants to!

It's the old 80/20 rule. 80% of the work gets done by 20% of the people!

Driving a forklift was one of the funest jobs I ever had!! Moved meat around in the meat packing plant here at Ramstein AB, Germany. It's amazing what you can with a forklift!!!

Looks like we've got a fairly diverse bunch here.

Here's all about me.

I'm 35, live in North Texas, I'm a full-time police officer [hence my screen-name] for a city with a population of around 65,000 people. I've been a police officer for about 13 years, 4 of which were in the US Air Force [security police]. While in the Air Force, I was fortunate enough to travel all over the world [36 different countries].

I also have a self-employment business as a residential Home Inspector. I perform state-regulated inspections of homes for buyers and sellers. I own and run the business, Secure Inspections [www.SecureInspections.net]. Currently it's a 1-inspector business [me], but I hope to expand to a multi-inspector firm after I retire from the police department which is 7 years from now.

I still haven't posted pics of my SLK yet, but I will be doing so soon. Blk/Blk 2002 SLK-230 Kompressor.

Great to meet all of you and learn more about you. I hope to interact more as time goes on.

Mike

Welcome to SLKWorld Mike!!

You're in good company here! 1.) With the SLK, obviously ; 2.) As a cop, hats off to you and Scott (V8SLK) and 3.) There are several folks here associated with the Air Force in one form or another, past and present!! 4.) There are gobs of people here who claim Texas as home!!!

Post some pics of your ride, post often, add a premium membership and enjoy your stay!!

Thanks Kevin, I already feel very welcomed here. It's evident that SLK owners on this forum are a tight-knit group.

I've certainly enjoyed reading all the old posts and learning new things about my vehicle.

I am Biomedical Scientist and specialised in microbiology - hence my forum name. Thirty years ago I was a laboratory technician but my profession became all posh and we became scientists. I do very little science these days unfortunately and just manage my section in the pathology department and it's 80 or so staff.

Some great careers posted here!
