    Okay, lets learn a little about each other. Post up what you do for a living. Just what you do, maybe a little info on that but no salaries and all that stuff.

    I'll start.
    I am a Senior Repair Technician for Verizon (Not Wireless thank you very much). Basically I work on thinks like credit card lines, ATM lines (so if you cant ever get money out of the ATM or run your credit card, I might be to blame). I also work on National Weather Service stuff, FAA and Railroad lines. I used to work with the routers, channel units and other networking gear, but I do my work remotely now and send people out if needed.

    I work at IKON office solutions, an outsourcing company, I am currently stationed at Prudential Financial for the last 2 years working as a senior on site supervisor for mainframe printing. That's what my title is called but it's a little dramatic. I'm 21 and also going to college fulltime. Since I don't do anything at my job, I spend most of the time on forums like this.

    You guys were busy through the ice storm, huh?

    I'm a graphic designer at a small publishing company here in Tulsa that puts out several local magazines. Been doing that for a looooong time (though only about 1.5 years at this place). Also, I work here on the site.

    I'm a Sourcing Analyst for H&R Block. Basically - I spend HRB's money and buy stuff - negotiate contracts/pricing and work to get the best deals that can be had.

    It pays the bills.

    I also do home inspections on the side, as well as other DIY home repair/remodeling.
