What do you do and where?

[jinxer]

I work for an answering service.  Very boring job, but it pays the bills. 

I'm a single mother, with a brainchild who outwits me every so often.

I love playing games, as does my child (one of the things he beats me at sometimes).

I'm very sarcastic by nature, so I hope I don't offend anyone here at F13, but from what I've seen so far, I probably won't.  :)

Apologies for accusing you of being a shill. So sorry.  :-(

LoL, that's ok Stray.  Apology accepted.  :)

Thank god that devs have implemented the use of the mouse wheel

[raydeen]

36 years old MWC. SE Pa. Tech assistant at a vo-tech school. Looking for better work eventually but taking my time learning what I can. I build and fix comps on the side and dabble with art and music. And watch anime and old tv and movies. And drink copious amount of bourbon. Old Crow to be exact.

[jpark]

Time for my update I guess.

Still a prof at a local university and just finished full time teaching 10 days ago - now joined a big pharmaceutical company acting as their "medical liaison" for their major product in the treatment a variety of diseases, namely, rheumatoid arthritis.  There are several of us in this role in North America - it  is a hybrid position of drug development and medical marketing.  The marketing side comes in from working with key opinion leaders among specialists - the development side comes in from designing small clinical trials to further explore the drug's properties in humans.

[Typhon]

Took awhile for me to notice this thread.  Stickied items are cloaked to my vision, for some reason (yes, that reason might be me being a moron).

Age: 41
Sex: Male
Profession:
Last year, Portal Architect working on the corporate portal for a large(ly souless) corporate bank.
This year, Technical Strategist for the same large(ly souless) corporate bank.

What that means is that I used to do design, review code and bitch at developers and PMs.  Now I think big thoughts and make Visio/Powerpoint documents with lots of arrows.  I play with Ajax when folks aren't looking.

Where: Northeast USA (live/telecommute in Jersey, commute to DE)
