Somehow I just knew he'd hate that picture. Water Buffalo, indeed !

I've worn a few hats myself, twisted a wrench for 25+ years, then got into
shuffling paper for the car dealers as a Warranty Administrator. I make sure
the company gets paid for the warranty work they do on people's cars.
I worked for an interior decorator for a year, but that's deserving of a thread all by itself. Good old Lester Grossman. His name sez it all !!

A few amendments for me, not working for the same aerobatic company now...Marketing manager and pilot for JAG Air, in the same area. A good mate of mine flies for them too. I do part time flying in the 2 seater, and also promo and marketing work in the single seater Pitts around the country. Also whiskey drinker by trade but spend most of our days off flying Yaks and Nanchangs.
Currently putting together a plan and keen enthusiasts to buy a US Navy scheme Harvard for sale not far from here. See how it goes...
 
I am a salesman for a small company in Iowa, USA called JR Motorsports. We cater to Dirt Track Racers/ Drag Racers/ Street Strip racers. We sell high performance engines, race car parts, and chassis for dirt track IMCA racing, and we also carry parts for the street ethusiast and the drag racer.We have a full line machine shop that builds everything from 700 hp small block chevy race motors, to restoration motors for the classic car guys. It is a good job for the most part. I have been here for 8 years and generally learn something new everyday.
 
I have the most glamorous job....I'm a computer/printer/general-tech salesguy with Office Depot. Pretty much work every department, do basic troubleshooting, deal with all sorts of crazy customers, and generally try to live past the "salesman" reputation. Been there 9+ years now. Before that, I did a 6-year hitch in the US Navy, where genius me volunteered firstly for the nuclear power program (passed those courses by the grace of God. Seriously.), then volunteered for submarine duty. And yes....I was sober at the time, although looking back, I wonder......

My current job does offer some perks, though. I get to meet a LOT of WW2 vets coming through the store for varioius reasons. I even have a signed copy of "All The Way To Berlin" by James Magellas. Met him up in Grapevine Texas a few years back. Its such a privilege to get to shake their hands!!!
 
When this thread started I didn't had a job but now its my turn say where I work so here it is...I'm a game tester at Ubisoft Romania...don't laugh and don't think that all I do is play games all day because its very different than what most people think...including me...all I can say its a great job in a great company.
 
I'm still on the Railway but I've been out of the loop for a bit (sicky) now i'm firing on all cylinders (well almost ) I cover East Anglia from London to Great Yarmouth as one of 5 tech support signalling engineers. Lots of driving about and I just resat my competancy certificates 54 exams in 3 days oh what fun.
 
Glad to hear you are up and about again Lee.

I'm a network engineer for a financial transaction company for most of my income. I also started an aviation photography business in 2005 on the side. The best part about a hobby turning into a business is that it is like a self financing hobby. 8)

I can tell you that no one wants that job! I think my camera backpack is up to about 45 pounds now. It gets progressively heavier, not lighter. I joke with a friend of mine about that. He wants to be my "caddy", handing me lenses and cameras and carrying the gear. Well, he did, until he felt the weight of the bag. Wuss!
