What do you do for a living?

Bromley, you ever come across a drilling company in the field called Keck. I used to work for them making ground water measuring equipment when I thought I wanted to be an electronic technician.

Can't say I've heard of them. But then, my only contact with private drilling companies is to look up public records of well logs when we're having difficulties getting our own holes down. And we only classify soils down to 80 inches so we're not real concerned with deep drilling.

software

other hobbies besides brewing? I don't understand the question.

 

[CEMaine]

I am an inventory analyst/planner for a multi-national paper company.
Outside of work, I like to garden, cook, & paint. I am involved in local historic preservation work as well.

I work for HP and do configuration management for our mechanical engineering department. Basically we build really big printers and I make sure all part changes are passed through a controlled process. I also help buy some of those prototypes. Overall not an exciting job, but it pays the bills.

I went to college for Game Design and graduated a few months after 9/11, so finding a job in the industry wasn't particularily easy...which is why I'm here. I do plan on going back to school for a general CS degree and maybe move to a software division in HP.

Hobbies outside of brewing are video games, anime, Go, hunting, fishing, and camping.

 

[MrShake]

Lets see....

I'm a Web Admin at a larger insurance company in the midwest (probably not the first one you would find on google). I do website gatekeeper work as well as perl scripting and others. On the side, I run my own buisness doing Network Design and Installation, Website Development, Linux/UNIX administration, and other IT related jobs. Mostly government contracts and local word-of-mouth pc repair.

Hobby Wise:

I'm a magician, singer/guitar player in a christian praise band, beagle foster/rescue, motorcycle rider, beer brewer, waterfowl and deer hunter, fishing, camping, hiking, and probably others I can't recall right now.

Getting my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in may.:rockin:
Hope to design and build off-the-grid houses after that.
Right now I work part time designing and building adaptive equipment for developmentally disabled adults.
When I'm not obsessing over all things brewing, I play the banjo (poorly).

 

[Donasay]

I am a rocket surgeon, so if you ever need a super smart rocket surgeon let me know.

My hobbies include table tennis, taxidermy, gardening, brewing beer, clubbing seals and making hats from their fur, and looking at internet porn.




I am really a research analyst and I teach part time at a local community college, where I bemoan the overall degradation in the quality of students since I was last in school 6 months ago.

clubbing seals and making hats from their fur, and looking at internet porn.

That's really creepy, because two of my hobbies are Clubbing seals and making internet porn with their fur, and Making hats.

Odd little world we live in.

 

[APendejo]

Test Engineer-Dynamics, Vibration and Shock testing to be specific with a bit of acceleration testing thrown in for fun.
Did you see the Ford commercial right before the kickoff of Superbowl? The one where they were spinning up the F150 by the tow hooks? Yep, that was us. Oh,
btw, most of the setup was 'puter graphics. The test was real but the centrifuge pit ain't all that pretty in real life.

I am a Fulfillment Coodinator for a very large and despised cable company. I fix the mistakes Customer Service makes when you order cable or have problems so the technician who comes out to your house doesnt look like so much of a ******.

 

[blacklab]

I work in finance for a big silicon chip manufacturer. The hours flexible and I can work anywhere within reason. It's not my passion, but it pays the bills and allows the wife, two kids and I to live a nice lifestyle.

In my spare time I love to spend with the kids, snowboard, lift weights, brew(duh), and hang with friends.

I'm noticing a lot of programmers here. A trend?

 

[Zul'jin]

If it is a trend, they can trend it.

Now about you Code Monkeys. You fire and electrical code monkeys are OK. Your monkerey keeps the magic lightning hole from setting magic lightning fire to my house. Just don't start retro acting a bunch of laws for stuff that worked fine since the dawn of time. I know I need a one big switch main breaker. I'm getting a guy for that.

In my post I forgot to mention this was one of my hobbies, along with collecting bellybutton lint.

Rick

now is that your lint, or famous lint?

 

[Rick_R]

now is that your lint, or famous lint?

Genre lint -- skinny person lint, fat person lint, ethnicity-based lint, etc. The famous lint's out of my price range; can only look at the pictures in BB Lint Monthly and drool.

[Beerthoven]

I do public health policy analysis at a non-profit research company based in Research Triangle Park. My work focuses on tobacco use cessation and prevention, but I also have an interest in the effects of beer marketing on alcohol use/abuse.

Our clients include the federal government, several state governments, and a few non-governmental advocacy organizations. We have been very successful winning grant funding for some of our work.

I do a lot of statistical analysis (panel data econometrics, time series, multi-level modelling, and survey design and analysis) and report writing. I've published several papers in peer reviewed journals and I often make presentations to clients and at scientific conferences.

 

[paulthenurse]

I work overnights in an inner city Emergency Room. It's just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on. We thwart Darwins grand design nightly. I'm slowly, very slowly working towards my masters as a Nurse Practitioner.


SWMBO and I just got married last April. Pretty great to find someone who is such a perfect fit for you when you least expect it. For fun, we scuba dive a lot, both here in New England year round and trips to warmer waters. We are leaving for Key Largo tomorrow morning. Plan on doing two of my favorite dives, the USS Speigle Grove and the USCGC Dwayne. The best part of diving the Dwayne is that I spent some time on her when I was in the Coast Guard many years ago.
We also make wine together. We have about 150 gallons in the cellar, bottled, in carboys and in barrels. She makes cheese, I make beer. Lately I've been delving into sausage making.

And between us we have 3 daughters aged 24 (as of yesterday) 22, and 21.
