I think that's the #1 school.

I still have a GMI booklet that i got when I was in high school

 

Hi.

I wanted to be a computer guy, but the process of trying to work out why programs wouldn't run made me feel like crying. Frankly, I don't know how anyone can handle the frustration of it.

I'm just finishing a graduate diploma in technical writing instead, and I work in a bookshop.

Bye,

Programming isn't too hard, and the errors aren't as annoying as you may think just time consuming. I Ported a version of ROM 2.4 to a DEC Alpha to start my own mud and a friend and I just ended up staying up all night one night and fixed it all up, only had a few warnings when we where done.

 

Me too, worked for XO Communications, been downsized since oct, what a drag, no money to keep up the repairs needed,,oh well , got 3 more unemployment checks comming, then i will really start worrying,,,,,,

 

Retired Law Encforcement...Specialty in Child Abuse, have both Peace Officer Cert. and Social Work Degree. At present, part-time Sears Hardware...Hand Tool/Automotive dept. manager....

Denny, from the 'ol corncrib...

 

I work at a pharmaceutical company in the R&D Validation Department.

 

I'm a Home Depot Associate! I feel mighty speacial

 

I'm a goldsmith. I design and make custom and limited production silver and gold holloware, boxes, and jewelry. One day I might be sitting on my *** soldering tiny pieces; and the next, I'll be forging out some flatware from an ingot, or raising a vase from a disk of sheet silver.

I cater to the very high end. (Need to be able to do serious quantity to compete in low end, and it just does'nt pay.)
I apprenticed under a master silversmith for 7 years, and I now share the shop with him. We are like water and oil. He is a master at art design, while my expertise lies in the technical and production aspect of the business.

I enjoy my three rx-7s (only one runs right now), redesigning the wheel (carbs), writing, and learning anything about machines and music.
Recently I've aquired an "inventer-wanna-be"s dream; A 42 inch lathe, and an upright milling machine.

When it comes right down to it, I think I enjoy making custom parts for my car as much as I like driving it!

 

I'm a broke *** student studying economics, finance and philosophy. Hoping to get my law degree after this and go further with my economics education as well.

 

To Mike P 28- it helps to fool us if you can spell your
profession!

However you attempt earns a suitable in joke.

An opthalmic surgeon was retiring after thirty years at a top teaching hospital. As a suitable parting gift the faculty decided to give him a portrait of himself shown in the centre of an eye. At the presentation a medical student audible whispered, its a good job he wasn't a gynacologist.

My profession is a Consulting Epidemiologist, working for various governments on illnesses and treatments to be experienced in ten-twenty years time. In my spare time I fly out to remote hospitals and health centres for a sobering of reality.

My age is 67, but like a good wine I improve with age and as yet I am showing no signs of corkage.

Why do I own an RX7? I hated the uncomfortable leather seats in my last Rolls Royce. I now drive a 1984 red convertible. Recently taking my glamourous 6 foot redhead 20 year old daughter to the airport at the end of the Uni vacation, a Porsche drew alongside at the traffic lights. The driver leant out and shouted I would buy one of these cars if owning it attracted such a cool chick in my old age! My daughter gave him a polite sign as I gunned away from him in a 8000rpm tyre spin!
What better reason for owning a gen 1?

 

At the "starting to feel old" age of 25, I am working as a Field Service Engineer, keeping those U'Scan's running. U'Scan's are machines at grocery and retail stores that allow you to check-out and bag your own groceries, without interacting with a cashier. I actually used the little Rx-7 to haul around my tools and parts I needed for the job for 4 months before getting a 2nd vehicle (4Runner). I got my BS in Electronics Engineering Technology from DeVRY Institute in 1999. I also like to build PC's, but I do more reading about the latest computer parts then I buying them. I'd rather put $ into the Rx.

 

Sounds like your making a real sweet "War driving" machine to me. hehe

 

I'm a 23 year old Mechanical Engineer, currently doing product development for fiber optics..

My eventual career goal is to get back into the auto industry. I've worked for Ford as a Chassis Engineering on the Escape/MAZ Tribute, and for GM as an Engineering intern making body panels for Grand Prix's..

I also made beer for awhile... The perks were good

 

Sounds like you're making a pretty sweet "war driving" machine to me.

Doh! Must be a delay in posting er something or my 802.11b network got hacked.

 

I work for my father's IT company. We are more oriented to the network side of things, but we do a lot of reselling to the government and military.
I'm a CCNA and all-around computer guy. I wish i knew my car as well as i know networks...bummer...

Are those things taking off? I saw at them at the local HEB a few months ago. It was funny as **** watching people try to figure it out. I think they had more employees helping people figure it out then they would if they had checkers checking people. Some Americans are too dumb to use this kind of technology. I'd rather have the pimply faced kid do it then do it myself. I don't have to wait behind someone figuring out how to scan his sixer of Coor's for 10 minutes, and at least if I'm waiting in line at a checker I can make eyes at a hot MILF instead of focusing on where the bar code is on my Cap'n crunch. Feel me?

Right on.

 

Structural Engineer. I design buildings.

I thought I already posted but don't see it. Maybe I was too tired and drunk.

Right on.

 

Uh oh, my competition.

I'm a Unix Systems administrator at the moment, I've got an empeg in the Rex, and with my tax refund it will get it's own WAP. The car's about to be powered by a diy EFI project I stumbled across called MegaSquirt. I race in SCCA Solo II in my spare time along with building, maintaining and breaking unix networks in my house. Oh, and I irradiate myself with the maximum allowable dosage of ~2.4GHz RF radiation (802.11b wap in the house amped to 100mW output).

Gonna mount my old i-opener somewhere in the car so I can tune the megasquirt w/o a bulky laptop

Man, do I feel out of place. I'm a Biology teacher...or at least I will be once I finish my slave labor (i.e. Student Teaching...)

 

I work for Harley-Davidson Insurance as a sales agent for motorcycles.

 

I am a 20 yr old full time student majoring in Telecommunications and Networking although I will probably change my major to Mechanical engineering in the future. I work at Pep Boys part time and I swear it is the COOLEST job ever even though the pay sucks!

 

38, I work at SBC as a line translationist...if I had to explain it, I'd have to kill you, it's all propietary information....

 

Tax refund? Whats that? Oh you mean thats where the IRS gives you money back? ****, I have to pay every year!

 

Wow, Now I know why some folks have the time to post so much. I never thought there would be that many of you staring at monitors all day. No wonder your rx7s become so important to you.

I've been an ASE certified Master tech and owned a small sales distributing company and an automotive alarm installation company over the years, but have now settled in as the property manager of a summer kids church camp taking care of 60 horses, 800 acres, 2 dozen buildings, a fleet of basically junker vehicles, pools and waterslide, lake etc. Every day is different and busy so the SE is a wonderful break just the feeling of being in absolute control for a while.
Cheers
