I work as a I.T. guy. Been a PC Tech for a while, these days a Server Admin. I've got an Associates in Computer science from a local community college, hold an MCSE/MCSA in Windows 2000 and 2003 server, currently pursuing the 2008R2 upgrade exams (I need to step it up before the next server product retires them).

Now doesn't that sound like a corny, geeky paragraph for a dating game show....

maniac i'll be in your shoes one day. Im in college to get a bachelors in computer information systems. But right now, for a little over 1.5 years i was a cashier at a grocery story and i grew to hate it so i worked on a transfer. Now im in my 4th week working on the overnight stock crew. Much better, more pay and alot less frustration.

What do i do for a living ! Mmmmm. I'd have to stop and think about that! Mmmmm. Lets see I get up in the morning take Ozzie out for his morning walk around the house. Then come in & get on my pc with a cup of coffee. I stay on here any where from an hr to maybe 2 hrs. Then take a shower and eat something. Then watch to weather to see whats its doing here for the day. Then Its all up in the air ! Cause I'm RETIRED . I have to look for something to do. Some times I'm so busy around here. Its just crazy how busy I can get doing absolutely nothing. One day I spent 6 hrs just re arrangeing the whole garage. Then another day Go for a ride in which car is the cleanest. Not much doing some days. That I actually think about get a part time job. I fill my days with staying busy as I want to get. BUT! At 5:00 no matter what its quitting time. Then its dinner and watching my favorite programs on TV.

This sounds great! Too bad I'm only 21...I've got a long ways to go

Currently I'm a design engineer at a company that makes agriculture sprayers. I like it because I get to make stuff! It's only a temporary job though because I have to go back to school in the fall to finish my engineering degree. I'm sure I'll be a design engineer after that too
