It helps me because it (surprisingly) involves a lot of researching on random topics, so it's helped me get a lot better researching reef-related stuff.

Paul I would love to see your Short Time Calendar. Was it makeshift or a traditional drawing?I did. I worked in Manhattan for about 46 years as a commercial construction electrician and started counting down about 44 days before I retired. I used to take the Long Island Rail Road every day and you normally sit on the same train on the same car every day so you get to know the people.
The last two years before I retired, every time I got on the train, all the people would yell out: "HOW MANY DAYS?"
Also while I was in Viet Nam we all had what was called a Short Time calendar. It had 365 places on it to color in and every day you filled in one. I think I still have it. I spent my life counting down. Now that I retired, I won.
Appreciate that. I enjoyed working in the shop crafting custom cabinetry when in college

I've been a CNA, had an EMT license but didn't do anything with it, and had nursing school experience but realized it wasn't for me. Now I do advertisement/marketing. Pretty vastly different career paths but I enjoy this more than what I did at the hospitals I worked at
If you have “organ donor” marked on your DL, I got 1st dibs on the brain
P.S. did you guys learn anything at all from Roswell or all we still basically lighting fires to reach the moon ?

Moved to the US in 2019 and due to extensive travel for work, have not had a tank since 2016 but back in the game again.
Having the tank stops me from purely dreaming in code and gives me a bit of time to get my hands wet and dirty.
Love the technology aspect of it and gives me a bit of time to also integrate my own apps and code to try and automate the heck out of the tank.
Also an avid reader and love building up knowledge, so gives me a bit of time to research, read up and apply what I’ve learnt on the creatures and critters in our small part of the ocean.

Is that IOMG or Dravit?I'm a Bar/Restaurant Owner. But I worked in the tech industry for 26 years before that...which is why I do what I do now.

haha It's Dravit! I love it. Looks like shark skin. Gray with a bronze sheen in the sun.
I work at a diversified investment manager, the type of place people colloquially refer to as a “hedge fund”. I specialize in private equity and credit investments in energy companies.
I’m at EOL and waiting for MY25 allocation.
