Good to hear you back on the air, so to speak. Nice podcast.
About the G Job question. I'd always associated it in a negative sense with Garbage Job.
Hi, Rh -- Thanks for the kind words! What kind of work were you doing where you used "g-job" in that sense?
Where I work G-job stands for Government job, but its actual meaning is that you are doing some personal work on company time. So your boss walks into the lab, and ask what you are working on, your answer is "this is a G job".
I think I first heard it used this way 20 years ago, and have heard it many times since.
I have the same experience as Art. A G-Job was a government job which was personal work done with company time and resources. I first heard the expression back in the late 70's in the San Fernando Valley.
