Default "All the World is a Stage ! And in His Time , A Man Will Play Many Parts !"

All the World is a Stage; and in His time, A Man will play many Parts !"
Shakespeare, I think. And so it is with me.
In Middle School I played Basketball and was a Fair shot if I wasn't closely guarded !
In High School, Suprisingly I took Fencing under my father ! I was only a fair fencer, as I am not really the athletic type ! We were six fencers from our schools and this stupid High School from a large city dressed their entire senior class of 100 guys for the tournament ! Needless to say I must have "Killed" 10 or 13 guys myself; since most of them couldn't fence ! Ha !
Later in Junior College; I had to take PE and I said that's the last running I'm ever going to do !
But then I ended up in the service ; so once again I said that's the last running I'm ever going to do !
After I got out of the service I was a Bank Teller/Head Teller and so I have counted lots of "Greenbacks" or Dollars in my time !
Perhaps I will write the rest later. ( to be continued ) But Banks don't pay much for Tellers;
and so I got into Programming/Systems Analysis/Web Programming/and Finally Web Support ( which can be a Trip ! Ha !) I was in our Air Force and so I listened to a lot of Aircraft Engines in my time; so my hearing might be a little weird !
When I was programming I was on a lot of Government Contracts; because that is where the jobs and money is. But, surprisingly I never worked on any air force contracts my contracts were usually with the Navy, but at times I have worked for Dept. of Transportation, Dept of Energy, etc.
I never wanted to be in charge; but at times I have controlled junior programmers under me !

When I was an acting Head Teller in the bank; they had me train a Girl Teller who was so beautiful; that she was like a Playboy Bunny; so naturally I asked her out; but she was in an on-again off-again relationship so she could never go out with me. She told her friend that learning to be a teller was OK; so then I had to train her friend to be a teller also. This was bad, because once again the girl looked like a Playboy Bunny !
after that I told the manager I could no longer be responsible for my actions; if I had to train another Beautiful Girl ! but then I went to University for a Degree in Information Technology !

This other university girl was a part-time teller; so she didn't care if she was fired ! She used to come in the bank on Friday night and tell me she was there by asking me a Risque question, even if I was with a customer ! She specialized in these questions ! One time I was waiting on a guy and she asked me "Why do guys go for the Boobs first ?" The customer didn't care luckily so I just told her "To save the Best for Last !" Ha ! sorry, but I am a Guy I do not mean to be Risque here !
Another time she said it was her Birthday and what was I going to give her for her birthday ? So I told her I was going to give her her birthday present after we closed and she was going to love it ! ( kinda innuendos ! So she Blushed ! ) She was a Sorority girl and so kinda nuts !
