    My job is to keep the navigator in the right seat from complaining and whining. Doesn't always work though. She's not easy to please but a quick trip to a mall seems to do the trick more often than not.

    I am a Certified Prosthetist... I fit and fabricate custom artificial limbs, and I also make custom braces (ex. Someone has a stroke and their leg functions poorly) for people with neuromuscular problems.

    I got the Prius because I drive around all day for work, going to different nursing homes and hospitals as well as patients' homes. Plus I have a long commute (45 miles each way on the Long Island Expressway, usually takes about 90 minutes going home) and my employer figured I'd be able to use the HOV lane and either save time or see a few extra patients.

    I'm absolutely thrilled with my Prius. I've had it only a week so far, though. My previous car was a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, which constantly would have the brake lights go out and it would mess up the shift lever.... What a nuisance it was! But I haven't yet obtained my CleanPass stickers so I can use the HOV lane yet.

    Henry ford was the first to pay his workers enough to be able to buy his car. SO maybe tesla would think about that for all their workers :)

    Background and initial career was environmental compliance/NEPA.

    After being asked to take on a new challenge by my employer, I now work for the military doing a hard to categorize job that calls upon many disciplines, only some of which I actually have a background in. Luckily I can apparently adapt quickly.
