So I've met some pretty interesting people here, and am curious to see what everyone does for a living?!? For instance, I am a Central Service Tech at a big hospital here in Sacramento. I process instruments used for surgeries, and make them safe for use... so what do you do?

Computer Technician.

I work for a smaller company so I do a little of everything. One day I'm helping Grandma get on AOL and the next day I'm installing servers and configuring Hyper-V hosts for Lawyers and Doctor's offices.

Commissioning Engineer

I do start up of industrial equipment in power plants. We make filters that screen cooling water for use in the plant. I have many hats to say the least. I travel the world for free though, so not too shabby.

I work for a cable company as a system technician. Pretty much I keep your cable and Internet working and not lagging. The guys you see in the bucket trucks boomed in the air, yeah, that's me.

Not the best job but pays the bills and gives me enough dough to have fun with the X.

Can I get a hook up then? The 47K price tag for a X3 is a little steep. Rick Hendrick blows at making deals.

Government contractor.
I manage over 6 petabytes of data storage worldwide (think racks full of disks)
think Megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, then you finally get to Petabytes...each one is 1024 times larger than the previous one so it's a LOT of data...

Currently deployed in Afghanistan to hopefully pay off bills then send the rest of the $$ to Gadget for Stage-II or III stuff...
