As for me.

I work for an engineering company. I am a survey technitian I research and draw land title surveys for tracts of land that are being bought and sold. Since i work in the survey department i process fieldwork brought in by the field crews. If anyone has questions about property laws just let me know.

I also own my own business. Its called Choice Audio. It was started by myself and a partner. We install and sell stereos, alarms, amplifiers, subwoofers. So if anyone has a question that relates to this feel free to ask.

I am familiar w/your line of work as I work in the Engineering and Operations group for T-Mobile. We build the cell sites and maintain them. When we are building what we call a 'rawland' site, we employ the services of a firm such as yours to go out and survey the parcel we are leasing to build the tower. We also have them create our construction drawings and tower drawings.
On the other hand, my fiance and I are pet groomers who used to have a salon and 2 partners, but that fell apart as we learned the hard way 'not to do business w/family or friends'...we still groom on weekends though, at least until we can build the capital to open another salon. So, I'm back w/T-Mobile for the time being.

Thats cool Sophie I used to work for a company called HDR and we designed and layed out all of the antenna designs for XM Satelite Radio. That was back when i did alot of structural drafting. Now I am in survey and i think its much more interesting. We surveyed a property not to long ago built his pool half into the property behind him. Surveying has lots of history.

I am a college student who is in the process of starting a company that deals with webstreaming live concerts. This summer I am hoping to get a gig working full time for the summer for the local herp/pet shop (don't worry they're one of the good guys) snake keeping is not a big hobby around here so when I walked in and said, "I would love a job here for the summer and I want to work with your snakes" they guy was kind of taken back haha guess not to many people request the reptile room haha. Aside from that I play in a cover band with some buddies for spending cash and hook up surround sound systems.

In addition to everything Judy listed, I am also a legal assistant, which means I practice law without a license. I do all the work, get none of the credit, but all of the blame, and get paid a tenth (if that) of what the attorney I work for makes.

I do DSL Tech support. Also if my hubby is making money by being a "porn fluffer" I want to know where the money is. Cough if it up big boy,lol. ;)

im the loser teenager that bags your guys's groceries. if you have any questiong on how to bag groceries...im your guy :wink: but i hate my job. the managers dont know what theyre doing. i think ill be going into telemarketing next :) . bagging groceries...telemarketing...next thing ya know ill be working at Petco!

Hehehe... Mike, I love the guys/gals that bag my groceries, means I don't have to do it :) Remember what Red Forman always says " work is work, if it was fun they would call it fun" ( one of my fav quotes)

Along with all the hats Judy wears except sex slave ( I am single):)
I am a construction superintendent for a custom home builder or as I love to call it "Adult daycare" because most of my subs are worse than my 14yo son
So if ya ever have any home construction or building questions please feel free to ask! It has pretty much been my lifes work.

Adult daycare is my profession, as well. I'm a Deputy in a County jail. I babysit up to 210 inmates for 12 hours a day.

I'm a professional geek. For my particular employer, this means that I:
*babysit the moron in accounting when he takes too long a lunch and has to be retrained in his job
*teach people how to make overseas calls, use fax machines, copy their kids' soccer rosters, create spreadsheets, etc.
*design and create databases, then document them and train the users, then retrain the users
*create and modify database queries and reports at the whim of management
*monitor the server shared storage to make sure no one is saving porn there anymore
*figure out who is saving porn to the server shares and document it
*report downtime for the phone or internet connections to the vendor and pursue it until it's fixed
*maintain the company firewall, mail server, web server
*teach the company president how to FTP (about monthly), so that he can continue replacing the professional web site I created with the amateur one he created because he didn't have enough work to keep busy
*advise the company president on diverse issues from business card and brochure design to personal financial matters
*deal with various hardware and software vendors
*recommend and/or purchase software for company use
*maintain and enforce list of prohibited software (mostly p2p, adware, spyware)
*troubleshoot network problems
*buy and install network hardware as needed
*determine disaster recovery policy and ensure compliance
*maintain licensing and asset data
*supervise minion for workstation setup and maintenance and fix problems caused by his errors
*etc., as needed

Then, of course, there's my other duties at home of chauffeur, chef, counselor, referee and arbitrator, zookeeper, supervisory sanitation engineer, plumber, activities director, teacher, tutor, editor, supplies manager, facilites manager, comptroller, file clerk, landscaper, banker and financial counselor, nurse, detective, and chief hugger. Unfortunately, no sex slave duties apply at the current time.

I was a bagger at Safeway once, beats having to run the register on the express lane hehe. I've done a bunch of stuff from hang drywall, graphic arts, pr0n star, life guard, lots of mung retail work (hell you name it there), teach in Jr High/High School, professional student (milk it for the grants and scholarships while you can), state employment agency and finally this maddening position in a Network Operations center (gov't contractor to aerospace) doing a lot of stuff similar to those Marla listed. I sit here in a very dim windowless room surrounded by the white noise of all these servers and the subfloor air-exchange system. This has helped train me to become highly desensitized to the sound cues in sleep/waking. The white noise in here doesnt make me perpetually nappy anymore (barring a big lunch) but I swear I can sleep through a massively loud double-alarm going off 2ft from my head.
