Bored at work and was curious what everyone else does for a living.
I'm a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep tech at Champion Dodge/Chrysler in Barrington. Been working on Dodge for 8 years, been in the auto business since 92. How about the rest of you guys ?

I repaire industrial electronics for a company out in batavia.
Pay is pretty good, plus every once in a while repairs don't go as planned and we get to see cool sparks and explosions with nice loud booms when we throw on the power! That'll wake you up in the morning  .

Well, Untill today, I was a Trailer mechanic at the BN/SF railyard. Our company lost their contract with the railroad
(Common in this field. In general, each year a company gives their employees a slight raise, which in turn drives up the cost they must charge the railroad. Eventually, the railroad says "$#!% quality, let's find someone cheaper" and re-bids the yard.) So, temporrily, I am a professional couch potato... If anyone knows of any job leads, I would appreciate it.

I used to a IT tech/ customer service/photographer at AutoTrader.com, basic I help teach car dealers how to use the internet to increase their advertising on new and used cars. I also took photos for the dealers website (i.e. invenvtory, hot female co-workers(j/k)). I also was the office tech guy (when not visiting dealers). Then I developed kidney problems due years of immunosuppessive drugs (I'm also a heart transplant patient of 14 years), so I currently umeployed and getting medical treatment. I do odd jobs on the side, website design, setting home networks, and other techy stuff like that. Going back to school in winter to get a degree in accounting, then hopefully a real job.

rocco79 Wrote:Obsessive.... Do you use L.J. Smith stair parts???Yes, actually they are one of the suppliers that we use. We manufacture almost all of our own parts, but some things are just less expensive to purchase from a distributor. Most everything is bought in bulk hardwood, re-sawn, glued up and machined in our shop.

Obsessive, What's the name of your company again? I've gotten bids from you guys on some radiused Lyptus base before.
I've actually got a big project for you guys to bid on 18th & Michigan if you're interested. About 30 stairways for a highend condo building being developed by one of the board members of the Greenbay Packers, Mike Wier. He owns a restaurant called Krolls West across from Lambeau field. Anyhow, to answer the question. I sell Architectural Millwork for a company called Ace Styline http://www.acestyline.com We do all of the Equinox gyms in the country and the fancy McDonalds as well as a good portion of the lobbies of downtown Chicago buildings. I'm also doing John Cusacks new condo on Superior. Additionally, I'm an "aspiring" adult film actor! (Hey, it worked once at a bar in Kenosha! Found a hottie to help me practice my lines ) LOL!!!
