No I don't like JD it's too sweet and characterless, well the standard bottling is, and i've not tried their premium range. And as for Jim Beam white label - toilet cleaner!!!
One really good, inexpensive Bourbon to try is Buffalo Trace, it's about ?21 or $42. They also do a really interesting but not cheap premium range which includes the worlds greatest Bourbon. It's called George T Stagg and it is awesome! Not cheap at about ?121 or $242, but wow!!!

Bookkeeper/Controller and Professional Seamstress. (Both part time.) I got a call for a Saturday Night Fever Suit (I'm thinking white polyester, 3 piece, wide lapel) for this guy's 40ith B-day costume party. He sounds like he has a whole hellava lot in common with me, it was so funny. I suspect he is taken, but if he is gay maybe I could make a friend out of this customer. (Especially if I make him his suit. Tee Hee!) I want to dump the bookkeeping and get the design part to take off. I love to teach and have been looking for my own shop. (SO hard to find a good frontage!)

Appolonius wins for coolest job... hands down. What do you think of Jack Daniels? Cause I think it tastes like turpentine... and have you ever tried Yukon Jack? it's so good... back on topic I'm a production supervisor in a factory. We make aluminum welding wire and I oversee about 30 people in various job functions, do a lot of reporting, hand out discipline, argue with my boss.. that sort of thing

Yeah it's not a bad job! It was a case of being in the right place at the right time (incidently that's the only time I have been).
When I moved to Nottingham with my now ex-wife (in order to save our relationship it has to be said) I had got back into wine (studied it at catering college years ago) and decided I wanted to get a job with a proper wine merchants. So sent a letter and cv around and just got lucky.
The boss is cool, he likes a bit of rock, so we got on, and he's sort of a bit rebellious and liked the idea of employing someone who looked a bit different.
Oh Jelly the black whisky was called Loch Dhu, and it was heavily caramelised whisky from the Mannochmore distillery. It's no longer available although you can get a sort of copy called Chu Duhb, and it is truly horrendous!
Incidently I had 58 samples to judge and have just finished. I think my liver needs a break now. As you would expect their was some stunning, some average and some that well frankly were only good enough to clean the toilet with!!!

When people ask, I tell them I'm a "professional cat herder".. aka project manager. The fun part is telling people in the simplest terms possible what to do to make a thing happen and hear the response "I don't understand". The challenge, I have to find other ways to say it and can't blow up. It's a never ending excercise in tact.
I wish I was a forest ranger.

Cor Appolonius!!!! Now that is a cool job. I love a shot of whisky. Most favorite in the pub (if they have it) is Bushmills or failing that JD. It seems to wake me up if I'm flagging! Have shared a bottle of black scotch, which tasted really different. The trouble was it made our tongues black!

I suppose I should be a bit more precise before you all jump to the wrong idea. I work for one of the leading independent wine merchants in the UK. I manage the wine shop and my main responsibility is the buying of whisky and cognac's, etc. So I get bottling companies and distilleries to send me samples and if I like them I buy them.
Currently I've been asked to judge a competition in the Whisky Magazine, so I have a huge amount of samples to work my way through and score!

Mr Sane...the way to make two doors look good is to put them on a Mustang.
Sixth week at real estate in an area that is goin' off! Even though I haven't sold anything, yet, I love the job. Just walking around, talking to people.
Because of my experience with Animals, and having designed an emergency contact guide that I hand to everyone, of course, with some r/e info...I have something different, an extra edge over other agents. Ha! Killing them softly.......
To support my real estate habit, I have been given the reign to educate clients about Birds and Reptiles in a huge pet-less pet-shop...they just stock dietary and care products. They love me and want me to train staff....and do talks to the public at their 5th b'day celebrations on said species.
Also...I have been doing heaps of leather-work; tool-pouches for tradesman, some clothes for a male stripper.... So, tomorrow, first thing, I'd better get into his pants.
In fact, life is so hectic; articles in newspaper and r/e boot camp, next week, ...super-motivation-negiotiation-type-hype. Quite a remarkable change in pace for me. Last ten years have been spent living on this mountain and working in the valleys...now, I've thrown myself into traffic and people etc, not getting paid, but feeling like a polictican, getting around, promoting myself.
When I say traffic, its not that bad....on the very edge of the narrow coastal strip and suburbia.

I get to program and play with databases all day, for me that is a good thing :)
Also, I get to wear my normal clothes, skulls' thsirts, baggy jeans.. the only one that wasn't allowed was my metallifukinca tshirt. My aim in work related stuff, to stay in small enough places so that I don't end up in Satan's (Mandahowls) creation :P
p.s. Your cool Manda, I'm just happy I'm not a number yet, currently at work im Braveheart, Freedom, Jock McSproket or sweaty sock (Ryming slang - Jock) :) Being in England, a stranger in a strange land....

Dilbert? You might be interested to know that he featured in my MBA programme in a very small but significant way. Also learned was the Banarama school of business management with:
"It ain't what you do, but the way that you do it, that's what gets results "
