What do you do for work? (serious)

[sdifox]

Everything I do at work is to piss off some wireless customers by haplessly dropping their calls, repeatedly.

AT&T, how may we fuck with you?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

Give me a chance. I'll find new ways come morning.

Equipment operator for a commercial plumbing contractor. Day to day, I plan out and excavate the groundworks for commercial construction projects.
CDL driver to move equipment and materials.
I'll also act as a certified rigger on the hi rise jobs for any tower crane picks.
This company won't be using it, but I am also a crane operator.
Just picked this new mini excavator up last month.

I also repair and maintain the equipment. It has been slow going since I came back to work for them, so I have painted and re-decked the equipment trailers, painted the trucks. The larger excavator needs new undercarriage so that is on the short list of things to do.

That's particularly funny to me because my wife worked as a CSR for Cingular around 20 years ago.

Ah Cingular, how much I disliked them and their cell phone contracts back in the 1990s. Thats why I switched to VoiceStream back in the year 2000. They later changed their name to TMobile.

Been with them 20 years and happy with month to month service ever since.

You old fart, Cingular was formed by BellSouth and SBC in 2000.

They made us use the digital version. Having that big rod in your pocket led to too many HR meetings.

I build things. Mostly room additions on houses that should have been burned to the ground fifty years back. I build the addition, then replace pretty much everything in the old part of the house.

triple answer here:

1. i trained to be a audio professional; audio recording, audio room building, and music production (both tech side and music side), never got a paying job.

2. working full time in the role of "whatever they tell me to do" in various call centers and/or basic user PC desk job.

3. currently doing Emergency Medical Assistance for a travel insurance giant.

I work for a local IT Firm MSP. It's a privately owned business and we have a unique blend of some of the best IT talent in the state, so it's a cool place to work. If I can make a recommendation for anyone looking for a job: try to get a position full of people more experienced than you. The amount of knowledge I've acquired in the last 5 years beats out everything I learned in the 15 years before that. Pay is great, my boss is the nicest guy in the world, lots of fringe benefits, and I literally learn a new skill every day.
