grease monkey! I am a mechanic for Greenville Utilities. It is an easy job where everyone gets along fine and the practical jokes keep us the busiet. I may work on a backhoe one day and a trailer the next. It is never dull with so much different stuff to work on, like Gopher and wood chucks!
Public Health Advisor with the Centers for Disease Control. I am attached to the City of Hosuton Health Department, and do technical assistance and monitoring for community agencies that do HIV and STD testing. I used to actually work in the field tracking down people with HIV or STDs, but I graduated from that about 3 yrs ago. That was FUN!!!
I'm currently employed (without pay) as a maid, homework assistant, mother, wife, cook, lawn care and landscaper, and general handy person. Yep, I quit my regular job in June after 12 years of service. I love being home with my kids all day, but the pay really sucks. As the saying says above my avatar.....I need a job
Before I couldn't even spell engineer and now I are one! Consulting electrical engineer. I work for a large employee owned engineering/architecture firm. That's right, I'm my boss. Sort of... I get to study and design building electrical, lighting, security, fire alarm, and computer network systems. I've done everything from schools to big box retail, university, light commercial, parking garages, street lighting, heavy power, and I'm sure something new will come up next week.
something different every 10 years 4 me now...own/operate a small neighborhood restaurant...north side of chicago....I invite everyone on this board 2 stop in when in the city....just pm me....(I had Bush in my joint for lunch,about a week after 9-11) before...I worked 10 years for the airlines(A*A)...best job in my life...not the best paying job..but just the best job befor that .. I was a auto-mechanic..drove tow truck..worked at a trans shop...then managed a garage.....then sold cars for about 6 months...(hated selling cars..2 much bs)
I'm boooorrrrrring..... I've worked for 31 years for an industrial risk insurance company, downtown Chicago, in various capacities through the years. Still a number-cruncher, basically. One of the unexpected perks was meeting my husband 22 years ago. We insure the property of lots of the big companies like General Motors, Best Buy, Michaels, etc. Company was bought by GE back in '99 and now we REALLY have to jump through hoops. Hoping for a severance one of these days, and then maybe get a job locally and that's fun. Sigh. For now I'll just keep on :Comp: :Comp:
Past 14 yrs with same company, first as inventory control supervisor, which quickly grew to include system admin functions as well. Ag-related parts and supplies distributor. Great place to work, good bosses, but unfortunately there are 4 owners, so the "pie" gets split up into too many pieces, so the pay scale suffers somewhat. We're looking to possibly relocate in the next couple years, or sooner maybe.
The past 16 years I have been an auto mechanic. I been on workmans comp for the past year and a half, so I have plenty of time to haunt the V8 Buick board. :grin:
Professional Slicing Technician, i.e. I work behind the Deli counter at the local supermarket. Chedder, Bologna, Turkey, Roast Beef, you name it, I slice it. You could say my second job is a computer consultant, but its for the family.
I bang my head against a wall all day, working for a printing company as a manager. I got into printing 11 years ago after doing a little of everything. Went to trade school for welding back in 1980, got my certification, and then never went into the field. Done some machine shop work. (Too much repetition) All my friends said I should have become a mechanic, since I love cars so much. I didn't want to work on other peoples cars all day though. I quite frankly still don't know what I want to do when I grow up! :laugh:
You can always come over to my house and work on my GS while I'm at work. I'll even put sandmiches and brew in da fridge!
Industrial 3d modelling and animation for building HVAC control systems. Attached example of a cooling tower array. When this image is plugged into the control package whenever a tower is running then the corresponding unit in the graphic will have a spinning fan blade.
I am an entry level electrical engineer working with the Arch. and Eng. services at Washington State University (similar to John, also). I am still working toward a professional liscence. Got a few more years for that.
