15. It's my job!
Edited on Mon Aug-09-04 02:46 PM by Richardo
Or ONE of my jobs, to put a finer point on it.

The company I work for design and constructs air-separation plants around the world. Unfortunately, I am not getting any field trips out of it. :(

PS: Thanks for the kind word about the avatar...#21 was one of my baseball heroes...
