What do YOU do for a living...

I repair the major appliances you have in your home. My specialty is cooking/cleaning appliances.
 
Winding down, and retiring from, my law practice after 20 years. The half life of which seems to be undetermined.

Also working as COO (that's Chief Operating Officer for you Billy G :D). Basically, I am second in charge of a a licensing and branding agency. Kind of cool because I still get to play lawyer from time to time and the hours are literally half of what I was working as an attorney.
 
I work for Consolidated Edison Company of New York. I'm in the Manhattan Gas Operations' Emergency Resposne Force (ERFs). We are the people who break and dig up the street. We install and repair all of the natural gas mains and services. The ERFs respond to the gas leaks outdoors, as well as street collpases, water main breaks ( to check our facilities), and building collapses as well as explosions. Almost anything that happens in Manhattan, we respond. I work rotating shifts which covers 24/7 and holidays too. I have just over 19 years at this job.
I also use one of the products made by Gonzo50, barricade tape, on a regular basis.
 
I work for IBM as a Top Gun.......... really.... I get to fix System X servers when the local field SSR's and our various helpdesks can't. Thewre are 14 of us accross the country, 7 of us supporting the east coast from the Canadian border to Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. I used to support Central America, but that work has dwindled out. I work from home when not traveling, still get paid for OT which funds the mods to my MM. I get to visit alot of out of the way places like Ocean Springs, Ms., Pulaski, Tn., Abingdon, Va. and Cleveland, Tn. Technically I'm on call 24/7 but doin't get paid for it. Almost all of my travel is last minute so I don't get alot of time to plan for it.
 
I work for a company called Draeger Safety Diagnostics, Inc. I run a shop where I install and service vehicle ignition interlock devices for DUI drivers. The company has many different divisions and is a world leader in the development and manufacturing of the highest quality medical, safety, underwater and aerospace equipment.
 
I am a equipment operator (mostly warehouse) I currently work for a Home Depot Import distribution center. they have been sending me all over to train others to use equipment....Love my job!! good pay, great benefits.
 
On a broad level I'm a systems engineer.

Going in a bit deeper, I'm currently working for a large systems integration firm on a DOD project. I'm functioning currently as a Systems Operations Manager / Task Lead for a data warehousing project that supports operations across all branches of the armed forces. The job is very interesting, and I'm learning a lot.

I joined this project at the end of March and the position an interesting oppurtunity that has proven to be a large learning experience and somewhat stressful due to the responsibilties and fact that our ops staff is small yet must respond to system issues on a 24/7 basis.

Previous to this project I functioned as a site lead for a large data migration project that was consolidating many smaller datacenters into 2 large datacenters. We were subs for that so I worked close with the prime site lead to migrate our site's datacenter to the larger center.

So basically I function well with data projects, system architecture, and under those layers I'm a seasoned and experienced UNIX and Windoze sys-admin and computer hardware junkie.

Currently a Route Rep. which is a fancy way of saying I drive and deliver people stuff. LOL. Work for a linen company out of Toledo, OH and drive up to Frankenmuth you Michigan guys should know that town. I deliver all the table linens to Zehnders and the Bavarian Inn I also do the linens for the Fortress which is there golf course and Splash Village which is the new water park. I do a Marriott in Ypsilanti on my way up. And yes they get so busy I go 4 times a week the 5th day I do a quick run to Cleveland, OH to our depot. For you non MI people Frankenmuth is a tourist town up near Flint that is set-up like a little Bavarian-German town also is home to the largest Christmas store in the world, Bronners. I'm actually looking to make a career move in the coming months, you can only take so much linen. Been working for this company for 3 years been in the business for 7.

As most of you know, I've just recently accepted a position with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. My wife and I both leave next week to begin our training in Oklahoma City. Once we're done, we will report to our facility, Cleveland's ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center) "Cleveland Center" which is about 25 miles southwest of Cleveland in Oberlin, Ohio.

Prior to this we worked for a Fractional Jet Ownership company called Flight Options. They are the second largest Fractional Company in the world. Basically we cater to the rich and famous. Reggie Jackson, Peyton Manning, Dennis Miller, Martha Stewart, The Clintons...just to name a few. My wife and I help manage and schedule a fleet of over 170 private jet aircraft including (Beechjets, Hawkers, Citation X's, and Legacy's {Embraer 135's}). We go anywhere, anytime, whenever you want. The airports we frequent the most (Teterboro NJ, White Plains NY, West Palm Beach FL, Denver Co, Van Nuys, Ca, Santa Monica, Ca and the Bahamas etc.) We also fly to Asia and Europe.

Prior to that job, I worked as an Airport Operations Coordinator, and Aircraft Rescue Firefighter at White Plains NY, Westchester County Airport. I was working there on 9/11/01.

My wife and I are also both pilots, however Heather is a flight instructor.
