I'm a Network Administrator for a hospital. I've loved working on computers since I was young.

The only rule for replying to this post, is not to make fun of other memebers jobs. Unless they want to make fun of it themselves, then you can laugh with them. grin2.gif

I know there are some members that are not old enough to have a job yet, and for those few you can simply say what you would like to do.

I am a salesmanager for a medium sized company that sells industrial equipment and parts...

HOWEVER:

I'd rather be any of the following:

A) International playboy with a trust fund
B) Renowned art dealer
C) Annoying to such a degree that people will be willing to pay me large sums of money to go away

Well, you can't have it all.

The play is called "Out Of My Mind" original.gif... we finished the play last week...now they picked it up for production...so the playwright/director is rewriting it. It should take about a month before we start rehearsing again.....

stage managing was new to me....but it was quite fun.... I highly recommend it.

I did a research paper back a few months ago on internet porn and how easy it was to access it. If anyone thinks Hustler is bad, I made a State Rep and three mayors blush


I've had a few surprises myself from some of the people around here. You just look at them, so innocent...

Everyone seemed to answer the question based purely on their occupations.
Moe does not wish to define life according to employment. Especially since Moe is not employed but keeps a house and cares for 3 children.
But if Moe were employed , would it be proof of Moe's living?

I certainly hope that living is not defined by a 9 to 5.

wacko.gif blink.gif dontgetit.gif huh.gif

god, i miss working 9-5!

3 kids, huh. it's sounds like a fun.

Well lets see here....I work in a Boat Factory that is a Subdivision of Yamaha Inc.

Prior to that I did a stint at wal-mart (left lower case intentionally). Really I am a jack of all trades. Alot of people in my area job hop looking for better places. I think I may have found a place to call home for a few years...at least until I finish my welding training. tongue.gif

I also write some but it hasn't turned into anything professional yet but I can hope. And even if it doesn't it's a fun hobby....

For 5 years I worked for a company called "Interplay" that made computer and video games. It was wonderful, but very long hours and not nearly equal pay for the same work outside of the industry.

I did learn a lot though, and had a lot of fun doing it.

I was there then, but didn't work on it. I did work on Baldurs Gate, Fallout 1/2...lots of good titles. Quite a few horrible ones too. When Interplay borrowed money from Universal, one of the requirements was that we make a game based on the Waterworld franchise...wow, what a stinker...

The last time I added up all of the titles I worked on with the foreign ports and such I had over 100 titles that I helped out on...

I work at a small internet company. We have about 20,000 personal customers; and about 5,000 bussinesses. I don't really have a job title or description. The reason being that there are only 40 workers in the whole company; and most of us are under the age's of 23. There IS NO management structure. We are all doing Customer service, Technical service, server Admin, website and Ad design, and all the other joyful things that need to be done. Right now I am looking at starting 12 hour work days with the 10 people in my office. Not to mention getting a really big coffee cup. And yes if you call my line and start swearing at me; I Will fire right back at you grin2.gif A customer called earlier this week and let off on everyone in the office right on succession. finally they tranfered him to me. MOOWHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!That was fun devil.gif
