I make sure you can make cell phone and long distance calls................... if I feel like it.

 

[Hyster]

I'm an in house broad ban cable tech. I get vented on after customers are pissed off by our call center and shadey cottactors. Everything I do is trouble shoot to installes. Climbing, going in attics, crawling in crawl spaces, spider bites, bee stings, dog bites, fixing tv's to phones all for a meager pay but heck, thank the good lord I have a job!

I am an AGR (Active Guard Reserve) soldier for the California Army National Guard. More to the point, I repair aircraft hydraulic systems and flight control actuators.

I'm a student going to 8th grade! LOL. I seriously am though. I'm probably the only youngin' it here. I thought someone else is too, but I forgot who.

[flandersander]

I perform standardized inspections on mechanical equipment at the PCS Potash Mine in Allan.


Yes that sequence of words I said made perfect sense.

No seriously though, anybody from canada has probably heard that we are on strike. I hate it, and have to walk the picket lines for any pay. I know its dumb, but it should be over by christmas. I can't wait and see how my kids react when I tell them their grandpa has passed on and that we're having an imaginary christmas this year...

I thought you said you were 16?

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

LOL at fake age.
Great to see another youngin' guy .

It kinda makes me uncomfortable saying my age because most people think of kids like "OMG don't buy anything from them! They're always broken." or something like that. I've sold lots of things on other forums with mostly no problems. The only problems that happen is if I sell something that was sold to me used by someone else. Like I had an HPI electric RS4. The guy I bought it from said everything worked fine. Sold everything as is to another guy, said the charger was busted. I would've known, I just haven't even touched that charger. I've learned to always test something before I sell it, and if I'm not able to do something with it, I say in the ad that something is wrong with it.

Edit: If I were to be older though, I would either be a dentist (Like my dad), a computer guy like Geek Squad (Because I have lots of knowledge on computers for my age), or an engineer (Because of this hobby.).

Nope, well i dont recall :S lmao i might of, i say some crazy things late at nite :
Yeah i hate that, sometimes it makes people not even wanna buy from you.

[Behemoth Nitro]

Apart from being a professional pain in the a## I have been an oyster farmer for ten years then a senior UHT (Ultra Heat Treatment) operator at a specalist milk and other products factory (custard, Snak Pak, Ultra Slim bla bla bla) but I specialised in cream products for the French market. Now for the last five years I have been making a living in Real Estate. With the Australian dollar at record highs, oil at record highs, the Reserve Bank pushing inflation investors are scared as buggery at the moment so it's getting real tough.
Would be interesting to answer this question in five years time to see what I'm doing then.

Cheers

Not a very good one at that either


I play on computers all day and tell people why they are not able to access their email or why "the internet" is slow.



-Michael

That is exactly how I pay the bills as well. Oh... and I also tell folks why their document won't print. There are two things in corporate america that folks will tell you about as soon as they are down... Internet and Email.... How did we survive before?

But on most days... I am usually the scapegoat for some person who hates their job and or doesn't want to work. They will usually blame IT saying their "PC" doesn't work and that is why they don't get anything done!

I am now the operations manager of a large structural steel company that my Step-Dad started with Mom's help. We handle bothe the fabrication and erection side of the industry. I started out part time, then went to being the IT guy just because of neccessity. That's why I started learning about computers. Everything now days in the construction industry is digital, we ship almost no paper blueprints anymore. Every job that we bid or win has to have drawings printed, scanned, emailed, copied, uploaded to the FTP site, etc... We also have a network between the corporate office in one corner of the state and the fabrication plant that's in another corner of the state. The guy that was handling our network and blueprints got busted in one of those "to catch a predator" stings while my step-dad was out of town. We didn't fire him for that, but he kept screwing up more and more after that, so he got fired and I had to learn how to keep things going because there wasn't anyone else to do it. When I realized how much I liked it, I decided to accept the position full time and go to school for computer education. I was recently promoted to operations manager, and I still handle the IT stuff. I now have my first nice private office.

As you know, I'm also partnered with East End Machining, and that's a full time job just communicating with the custmers, developing parts, testing, revising, testing, going into production, and marketing. However, RC's is a passion, and it's so nice to work in a field that you enjoy so much.

For you guys that are so young, as long as you act mature, and remain honest with people, you will be respected just like anyone that's older. I find that the reason young people often don't get the respect that they want is because they carry a level of immaturity with them on the forums. You guys have been mature, and the more you keep it up, the more the older members will respect you. I don't visit most of the other forums because there are so many members, both young and old, that have the maturity level of a five year old. This forum is different, and that's the reason that I consider it to be the best forum on th net, period.

Dammit man, what did i tell you about handling the industry's erection? You dont know where that thing had been.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

How did I know that James would be the first one to make the comment?

 

[neobart]

Have you ever gone back to a past erection of yours and thought to yourself, the erection still stands?
