Mid-size multi-national firm I actually learned this in college in a more biz oriented class. Probably one of the more relevant useful irl things I've learned... I think an excel spreadsheet is the easiest way to go to keep track of everything. Google Doc it, then script out reminders on the calendar.

- Started out working on Helicopters for the Army out of HS. - Got may FAA Airframe & Powerplant license when I ETS'd out of the army in the 80's. - Worked for Delta Airlines for a couple of decades. I was able to help to give Clutch and Smegg a buddy pass. Both can probably tell you that buddy passes can be a major pain in the ass to use. - Worked as the Director of Maintenance of Corprate Aircraft for the Dallas Mavericks during the Jim Jackson, Jason Kidd, Jamal Mashbourn years. I worked directly for the son in law of Don Carter but wore my Houston Rockets cap to work one day in a very small office just to see if anyone noticed. No one noticed till about lunch when I was imeadiatly given my choice of free Mavericks gear. I accepted a cap and tossed it with out ever wearing it as soon as I got home. I got to set courtside just a few seats from the owner on multiple occassions including one game against the Rockets with my feet in the court. I quit and went back to Delta after Don Carter sold the team to Ross Perot. - Worked as an Airline Consultant for a division of Olyver Wyman doing reliability checks and validating maintenance programs for different airlines. - Currently work as an Inspector for Bell Helicopter.
How was the transition from prosecutor to private practice? I'm a 2L at the moment clerking at the prosecutors office with hopes of being hired there or in a surrounding county at graduation, but I'm afraid that I might pigeonhole myself and my skill set.
Ha Ha. I've heard that one before. :grin: I chose it years ago because it closely describes my skiing style!
