I'm an undercover spy for the CIA. I would tell you about some of our operations but they're top secret. Actually, I'm not allowed to talk about my job at all but we have many things taking place overseas--------Just kidding!!! I bet that I had ya' goin' didn't I? I'm really just a stay-at-home mom who helps her husband out by driving the tractor and combine once in a while!!!! Mostly, I'm just home!!!

I kinda covered this in another thread, but I'm a mechanical engineer working in industrial sales. (Tiramisu, one of my customers is FMC Technologies. Small world. Someone else in our company calls on ExxonMobile. Actually your contract is with one of our nasty competitors.

) I sell valves mostly to petrochemical and power plants in South Texas. I'm sales manager at a small branch with inventory and sales personnel and spend a lot of time on the road, but seldom ever overnight. We are extremely busy at the moment, setting sales records for our branch. Which is wonderful since part of my compensation, as I've said before, is commission based. Like Haley and Lindsey, I work in a man's world and enjoy the challenges. It can be a cut-throat business. My hubby says he could not deal with the level of competition that I do, and with the amount of rejection that sometimes is just part of the game.

Hubby is a successful custom home builder & has plenty of challenges of his own.

Wow, what a life of service, Pearl. I could never do your job, but do envy the people who can, just a bit.
