I am a Systems Analyst working mostly on Open VMS, Digital Unix, and AIX.

I move the threads into the correct forums - see Mr Mootsie is always right

In real life I'm a freelance geologist, chiefly rock-based rather than software-based.

I was a retired old far+ retailer, now I'm an old far+ student who wants to teach Junior High kids. Last summer I was a freshman in education, now I'm a senior and should (Knock on wood) student teach next semester.

I'm a Maintenance Electrician (civilian) for the Ship's Maintenance Facility at NAS North Island, Coronado, San Diego.
Yup. You break it, I fix it. If it's a nuclear issue, I play there too.

I'm in Inside Sales for an Industrial Supply Company. We sell all the expensive goodies that go on Industrial Piping Systems (We don't sell any pipe though).
Mostly people call me & tell me their problem & I try to sell them stuff that will solve their problem & then I try to get a Credit Card Number out of them

What a variety!

By day I'm a Firmware Engr for a DC Power Supply Company. We make the power that runs the Internet. And sometimes we make a mistake, like the Bank of Japan fiasco (but that was another division).

In a past life I wrote the databases that were used to do configuration management on AEGIS, did some chemical warfare simulation software (I know what ships to stay out of!), and my favorite - wrote databases that shuffled money through black projects so the lefties in Congress couldn't see where we really spent it.

By night I run a business which makes ESCs for model boats (they own ALL the NAMBA brushed records!) and am starting up another kitting Mark Rittinger's Python as a first project.

Sometimes I even get to fly!
