Joe's Story
Life
So I woke up one day and realized I was pushing 37. Well I wasn't so much pushing 37 as I was pulling it on a trailer hitch. Anyway it doesn't matter. The point is my wife created a profile for me on this website because she wanted to see who I went to school with and now when you click on it, you see a picture of her. That of course makes all the people I went to school with think I got a sex change operation. Then they they think 'you know I always wondered about him...' and frankly I can't have that. Let me state for the record that I am a man and will continue to be so long as I am able.
OK so my story. I started off my adult life selling hardware to the masses and more or less waiting for a reason to get off my butt and do something with my life. That reason kind of got lost in mail and eventually the masses decided that they liked buying their hardware supplies from Home Depot so I decided to fall back and punt.
My hobby at the time was flying airplanes and I had gotten myself to the point where I was qualified to fly commercially so off I went. I know some of you might remember that I was big into being a musician when I was in school so you're probably surprised that I didn't do that for a living. Turns out you apparently need talent to be a musician...Expand for more
. Who knew? Anyway so I got a job flying airplanes. I worked my way up the dues paying end of the aviation ladder and eventually got to the point where I had enough experience to get hired at an airline. Then I met the woman I knew I was going to marry and suddenly being on the road 20 days a month didn't seem like such a fun thing to do.
I quit flying the stupid airplanes and started driving the stupid tractor trailers because well, it was an easy job to get and it paid pretty well. I did that for almost a year and ended up with a nasty low back injury from it. Low back injuries suck. Try to avoid them if you can help it.
Since I needed something to do that didn't involve heavy lifting, I put an ad in the phonebook and started fixin' computers. I'm my own boss, and I couldn't be happier. God bless 12 year olds and their never ending ability to download anything and everything including every virus known to man.
So that's my story. I didn't get a sex change. I have a wife I love very much. We own a house just outside of Trenton, NJ. I still fly airplanes when the mood stikes me and I make money off off the parents of 12 year olds and the virus' they download. If you have a 12 year old, please let him or her use your computer with reckless abandon. Then call me.
