So, what do you do for a living?

Dude Here · 01-02-2014, 12:38 AM

Work. It's something we've all gotta do (except for you retired folks). So, what do you do?

I currently work for the Sheriff's department here as a jailer. It's not a bad gig, pays decent and the psych building I work in makes for some interesting days for sure. Not a job I see myself retiring from though. I'm hoping this year to test and get on with the fire department. Before this I worked in a Home Depot warehouse and was a "membership consultant" at a gym. Before all that I served in the Army.

So, that's me. How about the rest of you folks?

Retired a year ago after 25 years in the USAF. Wife's still on active duty so I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to our dog. When the wife retires I hope to find a massive whiskey and cigar shop that needs a stock boy.

Used to work for a local hospital but we've been absorbed in to a national chain of Catholic hospitals so I'm just a cog in the machine now.
SysAdmin - servers/network although nowadays very little network as that's been moved to a different product line. Heavy in to virtualizing these days with Hyper-V and Citrix. Just hoping this lasts another 10 years so I can retire.

big_jaygee · 01-02-2014, 09:27 AM

Last six years i have worked for a company called ACT Pipe and Supply. We sell pipe and fittings for water lines, sewer lines, lawn sprinklers, over-head fire protection sprinklers, and fabricate the fire systems to necessary spec's.

i work on the operations side of the company and make sure stuff gets done, from deliveries, pick ups, transfers to and from our other branches. i also make sure maintenance, upkeep, and solve any problem that may arise.

Since Halloween, when my job went south, leaving me alone and cold to face cruel winter's wrath, I've revived my true calling as poet.

It doesn't pay at all, at all, which some would say is still too much, but yet the hours are fine.
