What Do You Do For A Job?

[spesman]

I work for a Toyota Dealership here in Adelaide. I am what they call a "Parts Interpreter".
Basically I sit at my own counter and sell Toyota clothing, accessories (floor mats, etc) and parts. It's retail at its best people.
After a day of dealing with stupid customers, my drumming is my theropy because I really feel the need to smack something around for a while to get rid of my tension. Sometimes I feel sorry for the way I treat my drums, but I know secretly they love it when I'm rough!!

I used to be a legitimate news photog. Now I just work for the government.

Yeah? Photography would be something I'd love to learn how to do well. In fact, an old mate of mine who was really good at doing sax and should have been a session musician (he plays other instruments too), he became a photographer. In fact, that's how come he met a Turkish woman who ended up becoming his photography assistant and then ended up marrying and moving to Istanbul!!! We're still keeping in touch, but man, talk about a complete change of life!

It's amazing how diverse our jobs are, and yet we are all drawn to drumming.

They are doing the Carl Jung psychology test on my bottle forum right now.They are trying to determine why all the various people like to collect bottles.One fellow noticed that in Astrology it seems Leos tend to be collectors.

I have to deal with stupid people all day - everyday.

I'm in the tech support industry.

That may be an annoying job,but I sure appreciate someone who speaks decent English!(Tip:If anyone gets one of those tech support people who are terrible at the English language or are too hard to understand,ask nicely to speak to an English speaking person.They will say,"I will let you talk to my superior." Say no nicely and ask again and they will put you through to someone immediately.Maybe if everyone did this,more jobs wouldnt be farmed out over seas for pennies.I know it helps to keep my blood pressure down!)

I shot video...but I do still photography on the side. News was "fun". The hours sucked, the pay was horrible. Worked holidays, nights, weekends. Got called at 3am all the time to shoot some random B.S. But it was interesting. Every day was a new day.

Now, I shoot vids of law makers. Not nearly as exciting. But the hours are great, the pay is much better and instead of getting called in when the weather is horrible now they send us home.

Back on the job, full time EMT and part time Firefighter.

[almostmatt1]

I get paid 2 dollars a week for feeding the dogs and mowing the lawn.
Your all jealous, i know it.

Ok, maybe only one dollar.

[Mr Ice]

I used to do that, but ours are electrified. That looks like a DMU. Best job I ever had. I'm in management now. The pay and hours are better, but I miss the job. Oh, and we never had snow to deal with.

In fact, yours looks similar to our Siemens S70 model...

there are electric trains here... but this company dont use them... diesel is more reliable...

but yeah, they look close to each other... was "yours" made in germany...

"mine" is called a "lint 41" and is made i germany

I work in this building as a TV production specialist for the Cali State Senate for the past 5 years:



And my job is to put lawmakers on TV and I work in a control room full of TV remote-operated equipment:

Our original cars were made in Germany in the late 70's and early 80's. Since then, we have a "Buy American" mandate. In order to qualify for Federal funds, we have to have a percentage of our cars made domestically. Fortunately, SIEMENS opened a plant years ago in the Sacramento area (technically in late8's garage I believe) so we are able to stay with the same company.

I work at.... Oh wait im unemployed :/

As long as this doesn't happen on my watch...it's a good day

perhaps that is why they look alike

I am still a people greeter at Walmart in Collinsville, Illinois...and I got a surprise when I clocked in at the start of my shift yesterday afternoon (February 6th):

"Happy Third Anniversary, Charles."

Hard to believe it, ya know?

I am a Mechanical Draftsman in the Automotive field by trade. I did that for 20 years and attained the rank of Leader/Senior Checker until the industry took a **** and I got downsized and replaced by someone making 1/2 my wage whom I trained to do my job. Now I sell stuff on E-Bay.
