Re: What job do you do?

Worked through high school teaching swimming to people of all ages and abilty level. My focus was mainly with physically and mentally challenged children. After that I went on to be a "petroleum distribution engineer" at the local gas station. From there lead vehicle inspector contracted to GM executive vehicle pool, sounds better than it was. Currently, I earn my keep managing a warehouse for a occupational health and safety supply company. Small company, good benefits, decent pay and best of all no one breathing down my back on how to do things the "right" way.

Re: What job do you do?

From 12 thru HS work with my father building homes - did everything as he was lic in elect and plumbing also (how many have poured hot lead over oakume to seal sewer connections?). <br /><br />Got introduced to computers in college and started on the IBM 360 4k memory. Done just about everything; programed in 22 computer languages on a dozen manf. hardware - wrote so many nonstandard device drivers lost count. Taught in College and did lots of consulting; or, as we used to say "sold my body". <br /><br />Efhenry I retired from MCI managing system development for the marketing folks -- was one of the first to connect the PC to mainframe and use the MF as a data base server.<br /><br />KRS I was in Mesa when it was 122F - managed the financial systems for AW. (remember it's a DRY HEAT!)<br /><br />DR I used to run the Yampa, Green and Colorado for a company out of SLC -- nothing better than hitting a hole just right! Does Hatch still run the canyon?<br /><br /><br />Came to Canada to help in-laws (FIL died this spring) ranch sits on a great trout lake. 3 fly fishermen were out last week when the wind opened the lake and were having a blast on 16 - 20" rainbows. Sure wish it would get cold so we could get back to ice fishing.

I was an Autobodyman also for 25 + years, heavy collision and frame last 10. I also sold frame equipment for Kansas Jack. I would have rather sold for Chief, but that posision was taken in my area.

Re: What job do you do?

I'm a "Computer Guy..." at least, that's what everyone calls me. <br /><br />My official title is "IT Supervisor" but in general, I manage everything that noone else wants to manage in the company... i.e. Network, computers, printers, faxes, photocopiers, human stupidity :D , internet, websites, applications... I sat down and made a list of my job duties... <br /><br />I stopped after the 3rd page in Microsoft Word...<br /><br />Sean
