Another ex RAAFie
RAAF as a rad tech then got a commission in logistics (called supply then).
Went to Uni got a BA in Photography Science stream, then BA in Psychology followed by MA and Phd, worked with villains for 20 years retired last year and back at work again.
Worked for myself for 12 years importing and manufacturing fishing gear, selling electronics, recently developing software and now selling it with hardware.
Beats having SWMBO nagging at me.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
