There's a lot of interesting folks 'round here!

I'm a research scientist (aka lab rat/corporate slave) at a start-up pharma company. I bring an analytical chemistry background (used to do a lot of FT-ICR mass spec so I like all this magnet talk) but am now doing more biochemistry - type stuff.

Eventually... one day... I'd like to brew full-time.... but who wouldn't?

Seriously? Give us a picture! :)

I'm an undergrad in early modern studies, but I support my brewing by working security-type jobs.


Nah. Though my my feet don't look that bad as feet go, it was just a smart-ass answer. I like telling my daughters' friends stuff like that. They look at me like the look I get from my dog when I show him a card trick.

I learned long ago that what I do (for a living) isn't me.

Could have been a worse answer had I done so after a few Apfelweinen ;)

VB.NET, SQL Server, Sharepoint

At least for now. The brokerage house I'm working for is getting bought out and the new owners already have their own IT dept. I'm looking for another job doing the same things.
 
Airline Captain... there is another one running around here... where are ya man!?
 
I help keep these POS's in the air performing their missions.

Another Firefighter here. There are a few others here as well. I've been doing it for 10 years now and I still love it. Even though I love my job I still prefer to be home with my family and brewing. Good thread, we have a lot of interesting folks around here.

Cheers
 
Wow. I feel so insignificant. Let's see... I am the technical manager for an ISP... that means I answer phones all day helping people when they can't get their email. And yes we do talk bad about you when we are done... we even do it while you're on the phone too if we have a mute button :D It also means I program all the voip adapters that go out as well as the wireless antennas that go out. I also from time to time configure cisco routers and go on service calls to customers. Mostly just phone calls though :(
 
I work for the largest fire department in the country: The US Forest Service. 11 years now & all I got to show for it is a busted knee, busted ankle, busted shoulder, busted back..etc...

naw, it's a good job, It's just a young persons job & i'm not so young anymore. Being married, it's not the greatest job either. I'm away from home at least 4 months a year & have been gone up to 8 months in a year! At least I have the ultra-flexible schedule during the winter. Pay is decent, benefits are great, but you get to put up with the gov't BS on a daily basis.

In 11 years, the only states I haven't visited have been Maine, VT, NH, RI & Hawaii for fire duty. It's a good way to see the country, as long as you don't mind seeing black country.

Surfbrewer: Ever work with LP hotshots? Their cap't is the reason I got into brewing. He talked me right into it.
 
I'm a graduate student in Cellular and Molecular biology, so I'll leave the magnets to all you crazy chemists!! I do a lot of live embryo imaging, so I get to play with a lot of expensive microscopes!
 
I get paid to cook. :rockin:

Which I could not believe they would pay a person to do... then I realized to get things done right you have to run the kitchen, train the staff, make groceries arrive, and answer 9 million questions while in an environment that sometimes makes a demolition site look calm and peaceful.

But still... I do get paid to cook. :rockin:

And my wife and I have a habit of buying houses and turning "potential" into reality.

Hey zac... thanks for bailing us out in sw Colorado in 2002. I learned to love you hotshots and all the rest. I moved away, but I still remember that you guys saved the day.
 
ALMOST a Journeyman Carpenter. I'm actually taking my second to last class required to journey out this week. I'm in the end of my 4th year of my apprenticeship right now.

Wow, a lot of students for a hobby I always hear is dominated by old bearded guys. :)

As for me, I manage the Benefits Configuration team for a midsized Medicaid/Medicare HMO. In other words, I configure the system to apply copays, coinsurance, deductibles, service limits, and authorization requirements.
