What do YOU do?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I've always wondered this time to time, but now I guess I'm finally going to ask.

What is your job and why are you in that particular field? What brought you to where you are today?

[Justin]

Lol.

Guy - you're supposed to start first.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Forget that. I already know what I do...

[Justin]

Thanks Guy.

That's an inspirational approach for the rest of us to model ourselves on such autistic aspirations!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Goddamnit Justin...

I work for the State. I'm there because it's practically the best job one could possibly have for a student. Paid sick and vacation time plus two hour lunches along with 5 hours of subsequent internet browsing is hard to beat. As I said, I'm also a student with one semester left then it's off to law school at McGeorge.

I guess I didn't say anything before because I really don't count myself as "DOING" anything yet. My job currently is not my career. And if I were to take my question literally, keg stands and teabagging would be the only thing I'd be bringing to the table.

[Justin]

Hey Guy - I feel bad now! I'd better scarper :)

Thanks for telling us.

[maimezvous]

Justin, I don't believe you've told us what you do yet. As for myself, I do nothing. I'm still in high school; therefore almost nothing I do matters outside my own life.

[Justin]

Er, I know.

I am freelancer and I quite like my privacy ;)

[maimezvous]

Freelance photographer? Freelance musician? Freelance assassin? Freelance hobo? Freelance father? What are you? :lol:

[Justin]

Freelance photographer? Freelance musician? Freelance assassin? Freelance hobo? Freelance father? What are you? :lol:

Actually, I like all of those ;)

oops. I left out the indefinite article in my last post. my Apple keyboard is sticking at the first letter of the lphabet!!

This thread is doomed...

The only chance of revival is if Spline does his usual and takes the thread and puts it back on course...

Do you think kittens would help?

[Justin]

Ok. Ok! Sorry.

I'll start then.



What is your job?

I work with animals. Kittens particularly. *sniigger*


What is your job?

I cook them!


Why are you in that particular field?

Because they taste delicious in any field!


What brought you to where you are today?

Er, taste buds?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Top tier-- good job.

Well I wouldn't say top tier but they're in the 100. I had some help. Actually a lot of help. But nevertheless it is a relief. That process was gutwrenching...

[Justin]

Hey - that's great to know you're almost finished your studies.

It might be worthwhile remembering that the British don't think very clearly on a Friday evening!

Sorry for screwing up the thread - by all means everyone please disinhibit yourselves ;)

I'm a graphic designer working for a tobacco and tobacco accessories (tobacco, cigars, pipes, papers, Bic & Zippo lighters). I design their catalogs and weekly mailers. Also some web design for their site. I've been in graphic and web design for about 20 years. Weathered the dot com roller coaster (5 start ups in 10 years).

Now with practically no design jobs in Philly and web design becoming a programmer profession, I am where I need to be to pay the bills. The downside to the job is the pay and commuting. The plus side is that I work with great people in a casual atmosphere. My boss gives me a lot of creative freedom in designing the bi-monthly mailers we send out. Even lets me illustrate the covers. Some examples...

I'm 'involved' with a small outsourcing company that services the college textbook industry. I started doing desktop publishing at night, while working full-time doing solid modeling, etc.; it has gradually taken over nearly all my time.

i thought you worked in a zoo!

So do you do stuff with Solidworks or suchlike, or in solid modelling like John Holmes?

Many moons ago, it was Surfcam and SolidWorks.

[hardeeharhar]

I seem to be doing nothing now but growing up crap loads of bacteria, poisoning them, cracking them open, and removing a delicious delicious protein shake...

[dmz]

What is "solid modeling?"

Basically, instead of drawing bluelines, you could build something in 3-D space, and then project prints from that. You literally build an assembly, explode the pieces and make your detail drawings. Crazy stuff -- but you know things will fit/interfere the way you wanted. The kicker is that features cascade off each other, so you can go back at any time, and change the something like the size of your basic block of material, and everything updates.

hmm, just realised, your small outsourcing company that writes for colleges, you arent the guy writing these creationist pamphlets by any chance?

which is nice until you realise that one of the first things you've done is completely wrong, and you cant remove it, or removing it completely screws up the rest of your drawing. Of course I am too good to have ever done that :D

That and the wacky bugs in SolidWorks, I use to do Wakeboards -- it got positively surreal.

(but that was may moons ago)

Just for my kids. :wow: fire and brimstone all the way! :lol:

During the day, I'm BRussell.

And at night?

[midwinter]

And at night?

At night I'm addabox.

[gregmightdothat]

And if I were to take my question literally, keg stands and teabagging would be the only thing I'd be bringing to the table.

Does that really even need to be said?

EVERYONE now-a-days makes their living teabagging.

Harry Belafonte even made a song about it. "All night, teabaggin on a drink of rum! Daylight come and me wan' go home."

[Splinemodel]

I grow marijuana in the largely uninhabited swamp land of central florida, and then sell it. It's primo stuff.




That's actually quite inaccurate. For the past three years I've been involved with a high-tech startup. We are in the RFID industry, but we have a fairly non-conventional business model.

OKOKOK. I sell fire suppressors (http://www.northlineexpress.com/detail~PRODUCT_ID~5RU-3412.asp).

I work down at the “Texas Beef Haus Steamtable Restaurant”. I’m responsible for keeping the beans and slaw filled up and I keep the Softserve machine clean. I am also in charge of the fly swatter and the toilet plunger.

:lol:

you managed to get that far on your qualifications?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I just want everyone to know that I hate all of you.

[hardeeharhar]

And thus your employment as pariah is complete...

You can keep reading or turn to page 27 for an alternate ending...

Would tell you, but then would have to...help you ;)

Hey, hold on there... am I supposed to be doing something!?
