I'm currently employed as a retail assistant at Target Country where I live not a glorious job but I do get paid well and the people I work with a great especially the girls
 
Just started my 2nd job this week. For my primary job, I do computer support (mainly CAD) for one of the largest engineering firms in the world, Jacobs. I work from 7:00 until 5:30, then I leave and go to work!!!!

One of our vendors has a very successful business and she needed some help so from 6:00 until 10:00 pm, I work in her warehouse, plus I do her computer support and website design. Sure does kill the home life and free time, but when you gotta pay bills, you do what it takes, right?
 
I retired from the US Navy as a Chief Storekeeper (1970 to 1994) since retiring I have worked as a Government contractor doing basic inventory management for SPAWAR and now work for a large Naval shipyard on the east coast.
 
My job is difficult to label, but it's rooted in the Telecomm industry.

I work with Public Safety entities, such as occasional military, Law Enforcement (all levels), Fire Departments (local, state federal) and others (dept. of transportation, amubulance services, etc), designing and consulting for the install and layout of thier tactical equipment.

Such as Two-Way communications, GPS and mobile data, emergency lighting, consoles and partitions, sirens and anything else that does not come with the vehicle manufacturer when they purchase it.

It's a very rewarding job, especially in regards to my customers...but sometimes the people up in the main office drive me insane!
 
Yeah Matt, I know what you mean...

"Big Brother" is in everything nowdays...cars, digital radios, cellphones and so on...

Even your newer printers at home have a unique ID and marks all your printed material with it...

George Orwell wasn't too far off the mark.
 
i work in the harbour, i secure containers on board of ships with metal bars so that they wont fall of the ship during heavy weathers, i also make them loose when the ship is docked. i also load and unload containers and goods that arrive or depart.
 
I sell stuff; the last summer it was fruit and vegetables, and from today on it's medical equipment for home use.
 
Got out of the military in 78 and went to work for a company salvaging intact/crashed commercial airliners, wherever they happened to be/fall, until 82. That year went to college for a degree and graduated early 85. Then, I got a job as a technician in a company overhauling aircraft parts and did that 'til 89. November 89 I opened my own repair station overhauling commercial aircraft parts. Sold that in 2003, surrendered my company's FAA certificate and went to a similar company as its general manager. Did that 'til early 2006 then jumped ship to another (similar company doing the same thing) and here I am. I wear a lot of hats including quality assurance, fixtures designer, equipment repairs and upgrades, customer technical services, training instructor, and whatever else falls through the cracks if need be. No glamor in my hammer.
 
Real interesting Sweb, I did aircraft salvage in 1978 at a company called Aviation Warehouse. They used to be located next to Hawthorne Airport, Ca, just south of LAX.

There were many such companies bidding on the commercial salvage rights from Lloyds of London or Air Claims at that time. I worked for a company named Solair, Inc based in Northbrook, IL and then we moved the company to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I salvaged a couple GA types but mostly over 12,500. I read your post. You have a first-cabin job if I ever read one. Sounds like a lot of fun mixed in. Mine is a mostly head down technical skirmish of meeting schedules. I am d-o-n-e at 5:00pm. Do not stand in the doorway!
