So, what is your job?

Funny this subject turned up – lately, I have been thinking about the folks with which I worked for more than 30 years.
I was in Communications when I was in the Air Force. The technology at that time was ticker tape – chad and chadless. When I got out, I joined IBM as a mailboy. I then moved into warehousing, and from there, onto the manufacturing floor. I became a materials expeditor (80 column punched card era) which turned into a Production Control Analysis, and then onto coordinating engineering changes into manufacturing. After that, I joined the systems support folks where I did some programming, teaching, and general coordination of the company’s different business functions.
Now I am retired – but not really.
I was updating my solar system, when she showed up needing work as an Electrician. After a while, I couldn’t continue to pay her wages; so I asked her to marry me. It turns out she is a licensed contractor, and I have a new profession - GOFER (Go fer this, go fer that, and generally just try to make myself useful).

Too bad it doesn't pay the mortgage...not doing too much concrete work these days.

Neat thread! I'm a software developer, focused on PHP/MySQL (I write web applications)
I love having a wide variety of interests and skills - you don't find too many other "geeks" who have a tan I'm fortunate that my job also has a lot of like minded people who are interested in chickens, gardening, etc. so we always have stuff to talk about.

I am the plant and nursery specialist/buyer for the large orange home improvement store in Northern California . I also raise and show rare breed rabbits. My degree is in agricultural science with a concentration in horticulture and animal science and I started my masters in environmental remediation. I am a costumer and do that couture sewing stuff...in my ample (!) spare time.
I also do a lot of sign making and was rather bored and wandering around with a type of sign we call a tombstone.

I have a 16 yr. old son that is on the autism spectrum he has Asperger's Syndrome.   

As tough as having a child with autism/aspergers is, they are so magical. She enriches my life more than I ever thought, and has taught me so much patience and compassion.
