Repair and maintain electronics systems at a correctional facility.
I missed this. You do the mechanicals or the security systems? @JeBurkhardt I used to build prisons and wondering if I built the one you work in, lol!
Wabash Valley in Indiana. We do security (door and gate controls, perimeter security systems, cameras) safety (fire alarms) and communications (intercoms, telephone systems and LAN network connections). We even do the in facility cable TV system.
My company may have done it but it was before i was hired. 97 I was building one in Cali. That was most likely done earlier.
Very cool. I used to deal w the mechanical subs when we made the precast cells. We used to joke about the cable in the cells. Some of the workers would complain that they didn't have cable but the inmates do lol!!!
Yeah, we were built a few years before that. All they had to do was commit a crime and they could have free cable too!

I'm a university administrator. I like it... it's nice to spend my days in an atmosphere of learning and open-mindedness and equity and eccentricity and youth and all that good stuff. I made a good choice when I settled on my career.
Excellent! I've worked at three different colleges ( two in bookstores, one as a program assistant), and have take classes at 3 colleges and 3 universities- I was a higher education junkie for many years. For me, there has been no finer a work environment! (And I do sometimes miss it!)

Bumping this because I was gonna start a similar thread before I searched.
I'm a Director of Unclaimed/Abandoned Financial Property (bank/trading accounts, checks, etc.) for a financial services company.
If your account is inactive for 3-5 years, we are required to attempt to contact you and get you to reactivate your account. Otherwise, we send your assets to your state/territory. You can still get it back, but you have to file a claim.
There's almost no reason for an account to become legally inactive. All you have to do is log in, and it's active. You don't need to trade/deposit anything. Just log in.
On the flip side, people do die without beneficiaries, so if there's no one for us to contact, we don't have a choice but to escheat (send to state).
**PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT**
You can check online with your state's treasury/comptroller's office, for free, to see if you have unclaimed assets. And if you do, the claim process is free. DO NOT GO THROUGH A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WILL TRY TO TAKE A CUT.
I somehow missed a check for unused vacation days from an old job years ago. It was escheated to New York, and I got the $ back. it was like $2K. Free money.
One of my favorite classes as an undergrad at Syracuse University. I think I took two or three anthropology classes there. The anthropology wing was quite impressive with all the skeletons and animal mounts. I will never forget my anthropology professor comparing human beings to animals with a common thread being methane gas, "otherwise known as a fart."
Yup. I have my Ph.D. in anthropology, and everything
nice...I took a few anthropology classes at Ball State. I wish I could remember exactly where he went but I took a 200 level class where the prof had stayed with a primitive tribe for a year or something to study them. It was really interesting. The entire class was like a big presentation of slides (still used slides back then...would have been 1990 or so when I took the class) where he described the day to day life, their use of sweet potatoes and pigs for currency, etc.

Cool. I loved my freshman year anthro professor. I think that is what inspired me to go all the way with it. I recently found out he died in 2012. He was really cool. Based on your description of the sweet potatoes and pigs for currency I would say it was somewhere in Central or South America - but can’t pinpoint an exact culture.

could be...for some reason I was thinking like a New Guinea type area but I could be wrong.
His presentation played out like The Civil War by Ken Burns....really interesting. I would like to see it again. They went through the tribe hierarchy, general day to day life, etc.

It’s after midnight here and my eyes are shot, but I swear I read this as “Ornamental Meatballs company”
If it's any consolation I read your reply as "Oatmeal Meatballs"

I is a land shark, i.e. attorney. No free advice.
I also from time to time, work as an animator on children movies. The latest, this one coming out in the fall in Sweden:
Or by myself, doing music videos/ad work. But haven't had the time or energy to pursue that in a couple of years.
