Oh, bummer! I'm scared to add a new category because I think I deleted all the previous responses when I did last time. Utilities would have been a good one. You can choose a category based on what you actually do in power generation, though (sales, science, service, engineering, etc).

I chose the last one, "Don't work". It's not an accurate description. I'm a "Trophy Husband" or a "Househusband".
Sometimes it's a lot of work, lots of pressure. I'm on call 24-7/365. I have to have the right answer every time and I only get one chance. Failure is not an option. I've learned to handle the stress. My eye twitch is not too noticable and my hands only shake a little bit.

Regards, OE

I sent the idea, and was totally, pleasantly, surprised when it came out. I had no idea until a friend at Home Depot pointed it out in that day's paper. My one and only shot at national syndication.

Stripper.

Should I select "Skilled Labor" or "Unskilled Labor"?

Or maybe "Creative Arts".
