Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.

I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years.

Nursery Growing Gounds Superviser/Manager "The Boss".
18 employees (that drive me nuts,well some).After I decided City work was too boring working with people who just want to screw off and waste tax payers money I moved on. Then I was hired by a multi-divisional industry that has a Reno NV. based retail nursery.To grow their product at their California(Redding) location where they had just purchased 100 acres for the purpose of being self sufficiant.And better grow conditions,and cheap land to boot.
I started to build and run the growing grounds for them 5.5 yrs. ago.I have grown it to 33 developed and irrigated acres presently.With long rows after rows of trees to vast shrub fields,entire areas of just flowers beaming at you all gridded with roadways. The last inventory showed a bit over 4 million in nursery stock.Everything from small bedding plants and veggies in my 4- 30'x100' green houses,1gallon perennials to all sizes of trees 5gallon to 30 gallon size. I have on an annual basis 6,800 rose bushes bareroot put into cans.And raised there, I have won many 1st prizes for my roses,Better homes,rose society and such with them over the yrs.
I see/load (well my people do) approx. 2.5 -48' tractor trailer rigs a week completely stuffed to Reno.Where not just plants for the nursery are on there we have Landscape installation crews doing everything from peoples front yards to public works projects and housing development to provide for also. Multi tasking is a must and planning is everything approached w/ drive and ambition (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) there is lots to do and oversee. My Quad gets a work out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Chances are if you have been to Reno you have seen my plants Everywhere you look.I don't see myself ever leaving this venture,it is my baby I created it.I am paid very well my future is takin care of and I enjoy being "The Boss".
I think I might have control issues Julie (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
