What do you do for a living?

[conpewter]

Care to explain? Is this something you do on your own, or is there a company that provides this service? I'm just a bit bewildered and curious how this works. It's very interesting!

I'm interested in the professional conversationalist thing as well, sounds interesting. Not something I'd ever be able to do as I hate people.

Me... programmer, hobbies... fixing the house.

I am an Emergency Department Technician. Basically I'm an EMT working in the hospital. I'm the nurses' b#$%^ most of the time. We are only really appreciated when we are aren't around.

I am working on my RN so that I can work 3 days a week and brew 4 days a week.

 

[mightynintendo]

You should be a flight nurse so you can work 40 hours a month and brew the rest of the time.

Hey Ravenhead,
Would you mind cathing the lady in 4? And I need a complete rainbow in 6 and then he needs to go to CAT scan. Oh ya, the drunk in 18 just dropped a duece in his pants and O'Leary is being his usual arsehole self and wants him cleaned up, so can you do that first? And BTW, we're ordering pizza, you want in?

I've been a Sr. Field Engineer (Sales Department) for the last 5 years and recently moved into a more developmental role in the Engineering department. Lot's of programming.

Technical dork and beer nerd.

It's not necessarily a good idea to mention the actual company you work for.

I work as a senior engineer for a large computer security corporation in the enterprise technical support field. Tends to be all server support for some of the largest companies worldwide.

In the past I worked in gastronomy for years, hotels, bars, bistros as barman, waiter, chef and portier. It taught me fluent German which is now something I use daily in my tech support job with a lot of my work being done with the German speaking world.

I work my ass of for a living. Nuff said

 

[IrregularPulse]

Huge thread on this somewhere. General consensus, we do it all Engineers, technicians, construction, scientists, sports writers, lawyers, I think there may be some that even ride their wife's coat tails

On the weekends I am a street performer, mostly free form dance, some mime work as well.

*some of this may or may not be accurate.

 

[r8rphan]

Well, at one time about 4 years ago.. I was a small business owner in the electrical and general construction industry.. Pulling in 4 times what I do now..

Then things went whacky..

Now I have pinned my ear to the door of an elderly couple who have decided to use my talents for all their misc BS around their property.. I have become a voluntary indentured servant, much like the slaves to the jews in the Bible.. And like them, am grateful for the position.... because, although my credit and my business is destroyed, I somehow saved the house, have food in the fridge. the lights are on, firewood in the wood shed, home brew in the kegerator, and enough money to keep the satellite and internet on, while I save up the several thousand dollars I need for the bankruptcy and tax lawyers...

Other than that, I am willing to do whatever the hell else I have skills for that others are willing to pay for.. within reason that is (not gonna be a HeHo for Bubba no matter how bad things get!)

Am I looking at a 'career change?'.. (In the words of Ms Palin) "YOU BETCHA!"
