kenobi65: Really? What department did you work in? When were you employed here. Me, I'm a Chewy 2 3rd shift mechanic, who people try to bring their computers to every once in awhile.

For upward of ten years I was a management consultant doing sleep and alertness consulting -- designing biocompatible shift schedules for 24-7 companies and teaching folks how to be healthy on night shifts.

As a 3rd shifter, i have to ask, any tips?

The good news is he has lots of tips on staying awake

The bad news is listening to his tips will put you to sleep

What do I do in RL? As little as possible.

 

[Dremmen]

Digital Cartographer for an environmental consulting company. You'd think that would be all kinds of good for tabletop RPGs too, but unfortunately the GIS/GPS software really only applies to actual locations. I'm better off using AutoRealm for my maps than the multi-thousand dollar mappins software I use here.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

I'm an office services rep for a major technology consulting company. About 2,000 phones in our offices have a hot button that connects directly to me and my co-worker, and we dispatch service providers or resolve issues over the phone. I also support the main conference floor for our offices and the VIP clients that use it. Lastly, I do some audio visual support and video production for the company. My background is in video production and editing.

 

[Chaldfont]

I'm an Informatics analyst and software developer for a pharmaceutical company working in drug discovery.

 

[Old One]

Just a bit shy of 10 years as a certified financial planner...

I run my own small private practice, provide financial education consulting services for private boarding school and am the deputy director of financial education for a large non-profit based in DC.

Former incarnations include pharmaceutical sales rep and military officer.

[Illirion]

I'm studying Biomedical Engineering at a Dutch University.
It's my first year and my grades kinda suck at the moment so I honestly don't know if I'll be doing this next year as well.

I also play guitar in a rockband .

I got my Photojournalist degree from Ball State in 92 and was the head photographer for a small daily for 8 years. Mostly shooting sports ( IE Notre Dame football, Indy 500, Brickyard 400 and 10 local high schools for the daily grind )

I did that until in the paper in their infinite wisdom decided they no longer needed ANY photographers (which years later they still don't have).

Of all the problems the newspaper industry faces, the worst is that it's run by people in the newspaper industry. (Actually, the worst people in the industry are generic MBAs who try to run the industry like any other, which leads to brilliant moves like dumping all the photographers.)

That's cool! what paper do you write for?

I prefer not to say, but we're in the 760 area code.
