What do you do for work?

[Jeremy78]

I was just curious what everyone does for a living?
Me, Im a machinist. Currently I work for goodrich aerospace making landing gear for airplanes. I also go to school part time (every Saturday, every single Saturday... Ughhhhhhh) for machining and I'm a registered apprentice.
Just curious :-).
Thanks dudes/dudettes.
Jeremy.

I work at a frickin applelees. The money is decent per week but I work hella crazy hours. If anyone has any decent suggestions for a kid who finished college with a BA in Accounting let me know, I'm from north Jersey lol. BTW I hate accounting, it was a suggestion from my parents, I couldn't sit in a cubicle all day. I actually just want to be a manager somewhere for the experience.

At current I build and design custom lighting... do not say "that sounds interesting" because it isn't.

Mostly architectural lighting and high end residential for now, but I get the odd good gig. Got to design a crystal chandelier in aqua that looked like a humboldt squid, definitely one of the better custom jobs that I worked on.

That sounds interesting!

Hehehehe at least it will come in handy when creating some sick vivs. You'll have the best lighting around right...

I was working on a rack that had LED recessed lighting at one point till I realized that was... well INSANE!!!

Now I just limit myself to the odd strip of LEDs up the back of the rack (shining on the wall behind) to give indirect lighting so that I can give a quick glance to see who has actually eaten their rat and who hasn't.

But my dining room has a barbie chandelier and my kitchen has a chandelier made out of plates and wine glasses... not so practical, but it beats the old chandelier made from shellacked and epoxied snake sheds and window screening...

Yeah, a big fan of Italian lighting here, so it means that my designs make no sense, probably good that the clients actually custom pick all their details.

Lol could be worse I sit in an office all night watching security cameras in a food plant or well I'm supposed to watch them but I watch movies instead I know what your thinking getting paid to watch movies.. lol its terrible... I'm insanely bored and there isn't enough movies in the world to keep me entertained long enough

I'm the General Manager and Structural design engineer for roof and floor trusses. Sometimes I get lucky and can escape the office to help the builders out. This gig is just a means to earn some cash. I plan on going back to college and majoring in either Biology or Theoretical physics; haven't made up my mind.

I work as a registered nurse at a hospital. I'm "float nurse" and am cross-trained to work in a bunch of different departments, which keeps it interesting. I also work the night shift... and actually really like it!

I'm a buyer for a company that provides front and back office point of sale solutions for several markets - hospitality (restaurants), entertainment (movie theatres, stadiums) and PSC (Petroleum Service Centers).

If you've ever been to AMC and used the outdoor kiosk to buy your tickets, that's us. If you've ever been in a Chick-Fil-A, Arby's, Krystals, Church's, Califonia Pizza Kitchen, Dunkin Donuts, that's us and our terminals that they're ringing up your orders on. We just picked up Chili's here recently. There's tons more restaurants, from fast food to high end, but too many to name - those are just a few examples.

If you've been to the Yankee's Stadium or the Dallas Cowboy's, or Miami Dolphins (as just a few examples) and purchased food, those are our terminals in the food areas - we just did the Miami Dolphin's Stadium right before the Pro Bowl this year.

If you're in an area where there's Sheetz or Wa-Wa's, those are our terminals in those stores as well. We're also international - Exxon-Mobil Malaysia, Shell Canada.

I like the job - it's never boring, the pay is decent, the PTO is generous, and the folks in my department are good people - not a lot of snarkiness in my group.
