I work for (I think) the largest office supply company...(that was easy). I take care of two corporate customers and inventory and order the supplies for their copy centers and supply cabinets...

I open lots of cardboard boxes...I love the Dodo, the WD4, the Subcom...all have a steady diet of cardboard and tape. :p

I'm 25 years old and I'm in Medical Instrument Sales. I sell cancer diagnostic instrumentation to Histology laboratories and Anatomic Pathologists. It's an amazing job- the company I'm employed with has a huge hand in helping to cure cancer.













I'm also working on completing my fellowship as an International Man of Mystery.... :D

Just transferred to Lawn Dart (F-16) Flight Testing. Avionics - radar, nav, flight-controls, electronic countermeasures, weapons delivery, etc. - is my stock and trade. Used to work on other neat stuff....in the Nevada desert.....and that's about all I can legally say about that.

Are you all about finished making me feel bad?


:D Just kidding! I work building maintenance for a small town Housing Authority. We have about 135 apartments to take care of, so I get to be an electrician, plumber, mechanic, HVAC technician, exterminator, carpenter, painter, janitor and occasional computer repair technician. The classic Jack of all trades :cool:

Field Technician for General Electric in the energy department. I mainly work on equipment that keeps power to hospitals and the occasional prison, when power from the utility company is lost. I also help install CT scanners when they need an extra tech. Basicly I get to play with, really fun, high powered equipment :cool: :D

currently looking to get into law enforcement, but while waiting for that i get paid to be destructive. Really, i get to break stuff. Seriously, i work as an equipment operator at a "scrap-metal processing/recycling plant" (please read as "junk yard"). I spend most of my time in a hydraulic crane, but can run a CAT loader as well (kind of like a bull-dozer, with tires that are 5 feet tall). spent today playing with coca-cola machines. we get truck loads of them in to be recycled, but the refrigerant has to be evacuated first, so i have to take the grapple on my crane, reach into the pile, pick out a machine, set it upright, then stack it in a row with the others. but for the destructive part, if i find something in the pile that doesn't belong- i get to throw it out. i can throw a coke machine, or parts thereof, at least 100 feet, and get them within a 10 ft. circle- i make games out of it.
also found 6 dollars in change.
Every time you speak, you put your mind on parade.
