To put myself through college and to support my family I have done many jobs: some of which included framing houses, baled hay (still do today), worked at a local race track, bouncer, middle school teacher, now I currently work as a middle school assistant principal.

I grew up in Ohio, as a teenager I bailed alot of hay and straw. When I see farmers out in a field bailing, the small square bails now, make me want to stop and help for old time sake. Mostly Giant Round Bails here in NC.

My wife is Teacher and was an Assistant Principal. I think bailing Hay is a much easier job.

I tell all my friends that I can bale hay and do construction and my body is fried, going home from educatioin my brain and body are done. When I work in the summers I want to do as little thinking as possible.
 
I am a software developer, specifically I work with the Microsoft .NET Framework and primarily write code using C# programming language. I work as a consultant for a company in Chicago, I work from my home 85% of the time and travel to clients the rest of the time.

dr robert,
this about the best explanation i could find, hope it makes sense
What is a doodlebugger?

A doodlebugger is someone in the seismograph business, aka petroleum exploration and oil exploration.

While some at the top end of the business--those who have their feet under the table for meals, call themselves doodlebuggers; in fact the doodlebugger is the guy out in the field getting dirty. That isn't to take anything away from those working in data processing, interpretation, and management. Everyone has a job and it takes everyone to make it work. However, for the purpose of this explanation, doodlebuggers are the field people.

Most people have no idea what a seismograph crew does, which is just as well. Farmers here in the U.S. think that seismograph crews are traveling bands of gypsy-like felons who tell them lies, promise to drill free water wells, leave gates open, tear up the pasture with their heavy equipment, then blow town in the dark of night without keeping any of their promises.

But in truth, seismograph crews do other things too. If the farmer has a daughter, she might run off with one of the jug hustlers from Laurel, Mississippi. The farmer's son may well be lured away from back-breaking farm work, only to find himself toting eight strings of geophones and a cable reel through the Atchafalaya Swamp, in South Louisiana.
