So what does everyone do?

Just curious as to what you all grind away at day to day aside from the daunting tasks taken to keep your 7's running?

I work for Reynolds and Reynolds Dealer Management Systems in the Technical Assistance Center. I'm an IT guy who solves problems for very computer illiterate people.

My avatar is self evidence of what I do.

Oh and the same as Mazdaverx713b. I get loads of flack but I give only other RX-7 Drivers a break. Yes I discriminate. Why? Because I can!

There was a thread of this nature not too long ago.

I am a journeyman machinist and I mostly setup and operate a fairly large CNC boring bar. We machine parts for cranes/contruction equipment, Army trucks, fire trucks, paper converting equipment, machine tools, medical/forensic equipment, etc., etc.

I do catch alot of flack from my co-workers for driving mazda's, but its all in fun.

I stock things. Shampoo comes on truck. I sort shampoo. Then I take it out to the sales floor. I put it in its right place. Appreciate your local shampoo stocker.

Hey, I'm 18, about to gradeate hah scoo, and it pays well. Stocking at the local grocery store puts gas in the tank and parts on the car.

I'm a substitute teacher and full time mom and wife. I'm thinking about taking some more classes to add on to one of the 3 Associate of Applied Science degrees I hold. Can never learn too much! I'm the house mechanic, handyperson, computer tech, maid, and grocery getter. I work on my 7 as much as I can. I almost have her in DD mode! Yeah! I'm really excited!
