What do/did you do for a living?

[jimmy]

I am thinking of a new thread but not sure if it's too intrusive  "what do you do/did for a living"

Mainly because I am a nosy bugga and its a good way to get to know everyone. Who's interested?

Well we all kno what Geo does for a living: he's a living organ donor…

[Geo]

. . . and your 2 jobs seem to extend from being the general all-round daft arse . . . to being the rapid response unit dealing with troublesome forum members

Can I have your social security # and your mum's maiden name, jimmy… Just urm... Just curious... 

[hectic]

At dull social events I tell people I'm a biscuit designer and my father created the jammy dodger. Usually means I can spend the evening in peace.

Thread > degenerated…  let's try to restart.

For money, I am an engineer.  I do very geeky network design/install/support stuff for research & education institutions around the world.  Basic idea, we build extremely fast networks that for large data-set transfers.  Think SSC (Superconducting Super Collider), Teragrid, super computing type stuff.

One day, the technology we use will be used to get you your porn faster.  You're welcome.

i am an engineer too . . . different type, i (did) design buildings (services)

it's a little while since i've been involved in design in it's truest sense, but my general remit is to manage approx £300M turnover pa covering a wide range of engineering/technical/architectural services and represent our geographic location at main board level in a company dealing at approx £5bn

i have written a number of standards that are now used globally and my workplace has long since moved from where i'd prefer it to be . . .

Isn't the SSC tunnel now being used to grow mushrooms?

I was a particle physicist but am now writing software in the financial industry.

alright back on the computer so time to contribute.

not that exciting compare to most of you guys. i am a tailor by trade. i have my own menswear label that i wholesale as well as retail out my own store. The label is mainly high end suit shirt and tie.

these days i don't actually get to do a lot of the sewing anymore but i am planning to change that with the opening of another store dedicated to made to measure and the highest quality menswear which of course will stock IH as well

what i did. Before owing my own business i went though half a dozen other jobs in the jag trade. But the most memorable will be the ones i did while going though college including teaching screen printing in our highest security prison and gate control in Rugby test matches…..
