Topic: What is everyone's job?

posted 01-11-2002 07:42:46 AM
Just wondering if we could get everyone's jobs. A more personal indept look into everyone. Myself, i'm a dishwasher for Ponderosa, which is an all-you-can-eat buffet resteraunt. Also a Dishwasher for a privately owned meat shop. Anyone else?
There is an ancient Iksar saying, that something lasts only as long as the last person remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable. Those who renounce the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth: Beware these men, for they are dangerous themselves... and unwise. There are false histories written on the blood of those who might remember, and on those who seek the truth.

Still in my senior year of high school. I'd have an afterschool job but I'm busy with me ol' MCSE studies currently. Might try A+ soon for a change of pace.

BTW, I'm already an MCP certified for NT4.0 Workstation (whoopie).

I still dunno if I want to go back into programming, between various certifications and electronics studies I'm afraid I'll spread myself too thin.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I used to work at a Deli counter in a convienince store. Definately don't miss it. Actually sliced off part of my thumb (a small part luckly) on the meat slicer, as the manager was too cheap to buy the saftey guards.

Right now, I work for a company that is both a telephone company, as well as a software maker for the banking industry.

My job is in a performance testing labratory, where we test these various web and client-server apps, for server and network performance.

Started out as a performance tester, reverse engineering TCP/IP protocol streams, and trying to wirte mock ups of the client code, so thousands of users could be emulated.

From that, moved on to being the system administrator for the lab. Now in charge of setting up our Cisco routers, switches, UNIX servers (HP and SUN), NT/2000 servers, Workstations, and SANS, from day to day.

Can be quite challenging, as I'm expected to be an expert in each field, but have no time or budget for training.
