Just curious what all of you do, that post on my favorite site.

I work for McDonald's, and responsible for Latin America and Canada.

And yes, I'm Lovin' It!!

After 30yrs. and 11 mo. I retired at age 51 from Chrysler as a Quality Tech. I always took a ribbing because I owned Corvettes rather then Mopars, but who cares.

You guys have much more interesting sounding jobs than I, it seems.

I've been a civil trial attorney for the past 12 years, and am now running for County Attorney of Williamson County, Texas.
