This question comes up every now and again, but I am putting a twist on it. There is 2 parts to this survey: What do you do for a living and what does your VMF handle mean? I just read my post from a few years ago and I need to update the what I do for a living part. You will also notice that there are links to posts made several years ago and many users are gone. The post lives on, but the user name is history. That is one reason that I end every post with my initials. :: OK here are the links to these same questions from the past. Username meaning and Bringing home the bacon fd
What do you do for a living and the meaning of your handle- Its been a while O/T

"Huskinhano"???? Well, we go out to PA a lot. We have property, 22 acres in a small town called Nicholson. It's about 20 miles north of Scranton. So being near the Susquahanna river, when my daughter was about 3 (4 years ago) she would call it the "Huskinhano river" She couldn't say Susquahanna. We thought the name was cute and it stuck as her nick name. Otherwise my handle would have been "Susquahanna"

Well, my situation hasn't changed much, I still own an archaeological consulting firm, but now I have a website:
Archaeor, Archaeological Consultants
And the meaning of my user name hasn't changed either:
Mine's pretty easy to figure out . . . "67" stands for how tall I was in inches when I was 5'7", and
"gt" is our nickname for my cousin Henry . . . it stands for "Go, Tiger . . . " (you don't want to know)

Frank65 is the obvious result of my total lack of creativity when it came to selecting a username. Actually, all of the other ones I came up with were taken and I got tired of trying to find something witty! Frank (me) 65 (my car).

Well, I am a Civil Draftsman by trade but I build computers and repair them on the side. I am actually looking to make a career change and get into facilites planning and/or management. As for my nickname, In high school I hung out with a pretty rowdy bunch. We all drank way too much and some of us liked to do things we shouldn't have done. I was always content to sit back, drink and enjoy the stupid human tricks! So for my laid back attitude I got called "Grandpa" and it stuck. I have been called that regularly for about 15 years now, along with several other names I can't mention on a family oriented forum!

My real name is Ross MacDonald. I used to work for a local Ford dealer selling parts and doing deliveries until I got laid off... now, 8 months later, I work in a lumber Yard, hauling, oddly enough, lumber. Its hard work, but it pays the bills.
My handle SHOULD have been the vin number of my first stang, a 6 cyl coupe. But, thinking I had it memorized, I just shot it down and started typing away. About 100 posts later, I realized that I left5 outthe 4 in 7r01t143210, so I goofed. But it was too late, and I didnt wanna give up my posts!

My name is Doug McKeown and I'm a Systems and Networks Administrator for an all women's catholic college. I get older, they stay the same age. Solaris, linux, windows, mac's, firewalls, packetshapers, ids systems. They all fall under my (lone) job description.
My handle, dmcq stands for -
Dimethylcloriquintyline which is a pheremone causing permanent erections. I have an over abundance. Or it's a creative brief of my name.

My name is Bob Geary, and I'm a meatcutter by trade. Technically, I'm a "First Cutter", or assistant manager of the department. My handle of Buboola came about when I was a volunteer fireman, There were 3 other guys named Bob there at the time, thru a long story, Buboola got stuck on me to single me out from the other Bob's.
My user name is incredibly original. I'm Tom, and the rest is my last name.
I'm a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) working in the financial planning department of a massive international financial services firm. I have been providing comprehensive planning advice (investments, tax, retirement, estate, etc.) to really, really, really wealthy people for over 10 years.
I have edited out my opinions of my employer, and just left in the good bits. To quote my Grandmother "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me."

I'm a systems engineer working on integrating various mine countermeasure systems onto MH60S helicopters for the Navy. My real job is to solve insolvable problems that crop up about once every two weeks, so the job is extremely challenging and satisfying when you find the solution that everyone said didn't exist! ::
Midlife? It's the name of the car and my internet name. Well, it ain't no crisis, but I took the name after obtaining a senior citizen's discount at a cat show when I was 43 years old. It's great to be old and whizzened: senior moments, not able to (selectively) hear, great discounts, and of course, all the women love irrascible old men!
