I have seen post such as - How old are you - Picture the poster - Where do you live - and - What is your favorite coin. I thought it would be fun to start a thread for what we all do in life, other than collect coins.
I work for IBM (20 years) in the IT division. I work with JCL and on Mainframe systems. Married 20 years and have 3 kids. My other hobbies are Hunting, Fishing, and Taxidermy.

I am a Automotive Parts Interpreter (28 years service), specialising in Country orders. We ship car parts all over Western Australia.
A parts man stood at the pearly gates
His face was worn and old;
He meekly asked the man of fate
Admission to the fold.
"What have you done? St. Peter asked
"To seek admission here?"
"I was a Partsman back on Earth
For almost thirty year."
The gates swung open swifty
As Peter touched a bell,
"Come in", he said, "and take a harp,
You've had enough of Hell".
Anon.

I tell people where they are (Not where to go which I would like better) I also find missing things people have lost in the sea.. My job title is Hydrographic Engineer but basically I do what ever I am told just like everyone else.

I am an inventory manager with the world's largest home improvement retailer (think orange). That means I get up at 3AM, count all the stuff, make sure we know we have all that stuff, and order the stuff we don't have. Every once in a while, I run into a correct number.
On the side, I'm a freelance PC tech of 20 years - my first paid PC job was installing a hard drive into a computer which didn't come new with one, if that gives you an idea how far back I go. These days, I'm all about eradicating viruses and clearing caches. Personal record for combined virus/spyware hits on one computer: 16,445.

I remember, although I was never blessed with an opportunity to play with one of those monsters. I do recall playing with the add-on RAM cards for IBM XT's; it was sometimes a bear trying to get the machine to use it at all. |
