carbon 0 #126 September 26, 2002 I'm head geek at my company. They give me a long title but really I spend most of my day writing code that no one ever sees or even know exists...until it something doesn't work then you'd think the building is on fire and we all just took gasoline showers. The joys of geek work.-Carbon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird 0 #128 September 26, 2002 Quoteam worried that my normal day to day life will seem really boring... It is really hard sitting behind a desk all day I keep so busy at work that I don't have time to yearn for the sky... I do that after work! It's a good thing the dz is only open on the weekend. I'd be a basket case knowing that I could be jumping right now... I spend most of my waking hours thinking about skydiving, and have since jump #1. WARNING! The obsession only gets stronger. Work for me is marketing produce to grocery stores. Ooh. So NOT exciting. I also write, but not in a professional(=published/paid) way. I really need to make a change, I just can't decide on what to do. Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.

You're not a baggage handler, are you? Nope.... just think of me as advanced auto parts on steriods and/or crack. But there are times when I would not mind the unhasseled life of the bag handler.

JGarcia 0 #145 September 26, 2002 Hello Phil, Welcome to the insanity...congratulations on your newfound love. I too felt the same way when I started. At the time I was a Neuroscience Major at the University of Florida in the US. Currently I'm a Molecular Biologist at the University--managing a research lab, applying to Medical school for next year. I also work as a freefall photographer, AFF, & Tandem Instructor on the weekends! I feel like both careers balance each other out...I wouldn't change the dichotomy because I'd get bored otherwise.

Slappie 9 #147 September 27, 2002 I'm an "International Exports Specialist" long interesting title.. bah! I smuggle oil field service equipment into third world nations.. and tubular inspection systems to far off locations.. Some of the places I've shipped equipment to I didn't even know there were people in this part of the world! I've done alot of traveling because of my job. I haven't the faintest idea what I want to be when I finally grow up.. I once thought I wanted to be an engineer but I flunked outa college so who knows.
