Seeing that I'm still new here and trying to get to know everyone, I'll go first. I currently work as a Swiss Army Knife at a Lexus dealer. (The Swiss army reference is a metaphor for me having a tool for every job there.) I work as a service consultant, technician,asst. diagnostic specialist and a roadside assitance guy. I'm aspiring to get into the Sheriffs office in colorado springs when I get there... I hate working for a car dealer.

Damn Teachers!
A mere 6 or 8 years of college, only 10 hr. workdays, maybe 2 hrs. a night at home grading papers?

And for this they get paid nearly half what a mailman makes.

Christ, all you're doing is trying to ensure the future of our children and society.

It's not like you're doing something really important, like a reality TV host, spoiled athlete, or spokesmodel.

[dirkterrell]

I am an astrophysicist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder. I try to figure out what various kinds of stars are doing. Most of the people around me are planetary scientists, so I'm kind of an oddball there (I lost my interest in dirt at about age 4.). I also have a background in high performance computing. We're running the New Horizons mission to Pluto and are involved in some way with just about every active mission. New Horizons is beginning a gravity assist flyby of Jupiter this week to sling it on to Pluto, and the close approach encounter begins in a few days. You should see some pretty pictures of Jupiter over the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunetly?!? Heck, I am 6 years from retirement and that is my career goal. I don't even have kids. I bet a lot of Dads on here would love to be in that position. Thats not a knock either, its a compliment. To be able to interface with your children daily and not be contsrained by the demands of stupid meetings, quotas or time cards is a blessing.

There will come a time when your kids thank you for what you are doing now.

Uh yeah... Why are you doing that cerebus? :think:

Is that your schtick, or are you just a little left-of-center?

[Suki]

are you related to an Anthony?

[Dysco]

Dysco makes the internet go.

Someday I aspire to work a series of odd jobs that suck in a variety of ways some of the time instead of working one job that sucks in a variety of ways all the time.

Maybe I can be a truck driver... Barn, you still got the number of that truck driving school?

[cerebus]

Why Cerebus is "doing that..."

Cerebus' avatar is Cerebus the Aardvark--the title character from a comic book spoof of the Conan novels. Cerebus always speaks in the third person and is "a misanthropic... at times sympathetic, at others unpalatably callous..." bipedal grey aardvark. [Cerebus and I have the same world view and wicked sense of humor.] It works for Cerebus...

Yes, Cerebus is a geek, but that doesn't affect the way Cerebus rides.

Ride there!

Fair enough.

I'm currently in the business of pissing off customers. It seems I'm insulting their manly capabilities. The disappointing part, I didn't even do it on purpose. Good thing I live with the boss.

[voncon]

I am very proud to announce that I am now officially a writer! I always wanted to write, and have contributed to many magazines as kind of a hobby - Cycle News, The MRA Program, RoadracerX Illustrated, Sticky Rubber, Christian Motorsports Illustrated, Racing 2 Save Lives, Motorcycle World Magazine, www.vonconcepts.com (http://www.vonconcepts.com)..... but now I have a book published at www.servicewriterbook.com (http://www.servicewriterbook.com) based on the automotive service industry.

Hopefully, I will parlay this into a public speaking/consulting career subsidized by roadrace instruction.

[Skadi]

I tell people how to do their job. I work for a company that builds microchips, I control the flow of work, what needs to be run, what goes where and who runs what. I bring work into my area and through my sub areas and back out of my area. Everything the operators do I can do, so when we have a lack of operators I get to play operator and run tools (which completely sucks). When things go wrong I have to answer to my boss and my boss's boss. I'm basically the fab bitch.

[Beotch]

I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around.

I was watching Nemo with my girlfriend last night laughing my ass off when she said that to him. That's the funniest line in that movie.

That line isn't in Finding Nemo...

[Sonic Boom]

No in Skadis' avatar... I know that isnt from Finding Nemo.

"Finding the little kidnapped Gold and white fucker" would have suited that line a little better.

Dysco, what is with all the evil goats behind you? Is this some fetish we don't know about?

[Dysco]

The top 4 are KISS Army impersonator goats. I put them up after an old manager pranked me by putting up a bunch of goat pictures and an "I love goats" sign.

When someone plays a prank- escalate!

Now my official nametag on top of my cube has a chupacabra sketch. Not sure how that got there but if I took the goats down it wouldn't make sense. :lol:

[JAFO]

Build Big houses that nobody needs!

[PharmerKyle]

Short answer: I sell drugs

More detailed: I am an ager absorbtion unit that serves as the end point of faceless corporations (pharmaceutical, retail and insurance) and overbearing, pointless regulatory agencies (board of pharmacy, DEA, FDA and OSHA for starters). While my primary function is that of a human vending machine (or more of a middle man), I'm also the receiving point of the frustration that people have with the system. I spend much more time answering FAQ's such as; "Why is this so expensive?", "What do you mean this isn't covered by my insurance?" and "Whys isn't this ready yet?", than answering more valid questions.

As I get closer to FOG status I find that it gets harder every day to find a way out. I never really wanted a job, but then I started buying stuff...

Thanks for listening. I feel better now.

[Jayrz]

At a center or tower? Just wondering, might have talked to you up buzzing around...

And, if you have been a pilot in theatre, sandbox, I worked Jacobobad tower and approach in 2001, Bagram tower 2003, and was Baghdad Tower Chief Controller last summer. Baghdad was probably the most stressful, lots of attacks, POTUS visit etc.
