What do you do for a living
 
I cant remember the last time we had one of these.


So here goes.

I am a programmer (C#), webmaster, and web designer. I know HTML, C#, CSS, Javascript, XML, XHTML, VB Script, plus i have recently learned stored procedures for SQL 2000.

Although i have these wonderful qualifications, i am still answering phone calls for idiots who cant remember their password.


I also write, although i havent sold anything yet, so i am "Aspiring" as opposed to "professional".


I have 1 story posted on a site other than my own, Justice is here on Temple Of Dagon:

I'm an office manager for a construction company. Just me and 2 guys here and they're usually out at job sites. Hence the reason I can lurk and post on Horror so much.

BTW, Vod, the company I was at before this was a headhunter for computer people!

zwoti 03-08-2005 10:38 AM

IT support for a large company (nearly 2000 computers)

Angra 03-08-2005 10:46 AM

I´m a co-owner of a bookshop.

Vodstok 03-08-2005 10:56 AM

Oh, I'm really many types of nerd all wrapped up in one big nerd. That is why i am so big, thats a lot of nerd to carry around. I am actually several little nerds in one big body.

Computer nerd. Some comic nerd. Food Nerd. Movie nerd. Horror nerd. Toy Nerd. Still a tiny bit of porno nerd. Just a little bit though.

ShankS 03-08-2005 11:01 AM

Warehousing, Management, Stock Logistics and Systems.


plus plenty of other nerdy things in my spare time.... and yes, before Vod asks...porn is one of them, but "Just a little bit though."

Why do i think of a lot of small insane Ash´es from "Army of darkness" when i read that.:rolleyes: :D

BH14 03-08-2005 11:03 AM

Here is just a question. I just did my taxes for the first time because i always paid an accountant... Its alot easier than I thought.. Just follow the steps in the information book. Do I have to send in a copy of my W-2 along with my 10-04? I think I do but it doesnt say in the information booklet. I would figure because Im sending my student loan info and CD interest information.

Vodstok 03-08-2005 11:05 AM

I believe you do.

Unless you Telefile.

BH14 03-08-2005 11:10 AM

Thanks Vod.... It doesnt hurt to send a copy to them anyways... And if you dont hear from me, then Im probably doing some time for tax evasion.

aborted 03-08-2005 11:13 AM

i work at a kent homes...a wood store...cant you just imagine the crazy antics i get into.

urgeok 03-08-2005 11:19 AM

i used to do PC support ... now I do asset management for a large cell phone company.

I assign and track all of the new hardware coming in, the old hardware going out .. and all of the stuff going to and coming from warrenty repair.

I supply hardware and peripherals to the technicians .. who like to hang in my office, joke around, and groove to my tunes :)

I get to dress the way i want and play music as loud as i want all day.

I post a lot on horror, but between tasks...

I was selling books on ebay for a while and was successful at it .. learned a lot about books.


Have a nice collection of my own..

ShankS 03-08-2005 11:22 AM

I'd love to buyout Blockbusters, change the name to ShankSies Films and chuck out all the trash they stock, and fill up to the brim with horror. I'd have horror events and have horror actors come in and have film sessions in specialy built mini theatres, where they could give 'live' commentaries whilst the film is running.... now that would be an awesome job to do.

newb 03-08-2005 11:22 AM

I do covert operations for the C.I.A.....I could go into detail....but then I would have to hunt each and everyone of you down and............ahem......lets just say it would be better for you NOT to know details.
Sometime I do a little mercenary work on the side.




Sounds exciting....don't it....much better than...oh...I don't know...say....shipping manager for a saw mfg. company.

kpropain 03-08-2005 11:26 AM

I install and repair fiber optic telephone lines and cat 5 and cat 6 lines also. The money isn't to shabby either:)


I used to climb trees for Asplundh for seven years doing power line clearance of problem limbs, also removing dangerous overhanging limbs from houses...Always nice to get up in the morning and get a glimspe of the world from anywhere to 30 to 120 feet in the air.

I'll spoil it for you. It turned out she was gay, and Americans werent as accepting as they thought.

Now she has a talk show and probably laughs herself to sleep every night on a huge pile of money. :D

its what i'd do if i wasnt terrified of heights !

Vodstok 03-08-2005 11:31 AM

I spent the 4 years previous to this job making cabinets, and eventually doing large scale manufacturing of custom stair treads out of a 3 man shop. It wasnt a bad job. pay kinda sucked, but it was good exercise and made me tough as nails (a lot of groin shots with flying wood. what doesnt kill you makes you stronger...)

The cool thing is, the company we made the treads for exported them all over the place. Stairs that i made now adorn houses and penthouses owned by Don Imus and Gloria Vanderbilt.

pretty snappy, eh?

My last job was as a videostore clerk, but I don't have a job right now. I'm in school and I don't want to work part time at the theater or some restaurant. Working at the theatre would really suck... Announcing the films and stuff before the movie starts, groups of "badass" 13 year old boys telling you to shut the fuck up and you can't even strangle them... Nope, unless I can strangle them to death it's not worth it. ;)

that'd be funny :)
