Just bullshitting here during a slower day at work, and I was wondering what type of company we could start/run with the incumbent backgrounds/skills of the Punsters.

Here's my brief "resume":

• Undergrad was in Economics with a minor in Secondary Education. Masters in Industrial & Systems Engineering (efficiency). Good at the maths.
  
• Broad knowledge of most sports with a current heavy focus on MMA.
  
• Great ear for and appreciation of music, but I play no instruments, myself.
  
• Formerly worked as a bag boy, cashier, movie theater manager, insurance underwriter. Currently work for a Department of Defense contractor.
  
• Fucking amazing at Tetris, but you could probably kick my ass at most other video games.
  
• Extensive knowledge of MS Office programs (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher, Visio). General computer aptitude, but no programming background. Basic knowledge of Photoshop and similar programs.
  
• Technical writing abilities.
  

And what I briefly know about some of you:

• Pun: has some auditing background.
  
• Thai: musical aptitude and bitchin' hair.
  
• Brad: artistic and comedic aptitude.
  
• Ziggy: artistic and comedic aptitude. Insane comic knowledge.
  
• Habs: bi-lingual.
  

So go ahead and post your "resumes" here, too, and then we can all decide on what kind of company/companies we could collectively operate.

I have a feeling this will all turn out that we're highly qualified to run an animated porn company, so those are likely to put you in upper management, Cory.

Was asked when I was a sophomore in HS what I wanted to do for a living. That was half my life ago and I still don't know.

After this semester, I'll need 2 credits till my associates degree. Woo.

Want to travel more.

Just started playing something called disc golf with my wife. Have you heard of this sport?

I'm pretty much a boner.
