Title: What do you do for a living
Post by: Video_Master on January 03, 2008, 12:17:39 PM
Ok, you do not have to post here if you do not want to, but I thought it might be nice to post what you do for a living.  Just helps to get to know one another and maybe give each other more contacts if you are in the same field or something like that.  I know some people do not like to post this kind of information so post at your own discretion.

I myself am a Sr. Technical Account Manager for a Storage Area Network manufacturer.  Pretty much what that means is I am an advanved technical support person that gets to troubleshoot problems with our products that we sell to customers.  Our non senior people take the first call and triage the situation and try to resolve it and if they are not able to they get it to me and I go in depth looking at debug logs and all kinds of code and fun geeky stuff like that to see what happened and what needs to be done to fix the problem.  Every now and then I even get to travel to customer sites to help install the equipment or fix an issue that is going on when our normal field engineers are too busy with other calls and installs.  We have systems all over the world so I get to talk to all kinds of people.  I would say though that 90% of our systems are here in the good old USA.  I am not going to go into what a Storage Area Network is, so if you are wondering just do a google search and there is more then enough information out there to help you understand what it is.  Also 20% of our company is owned by Seagate.

VP of an independent oil and natural gas company. If you have natural gas on the east coast, it's likely that either myself or one of my associates are/were involved. We also have a working interest in the Spindletop oil field and a few other things going on.

I just recently sold my commercial cleaning company after almost 10 years, before that I was a Chef, and bartender. Now I am in Real Estate, working in East BF NY state.

Leet, does your company do any business in the souther tier of NY state? From what I understand, and with all the hubub over mineral rights with the real estate here, we have a huge reserve of natural gas in the area.

I'm build kitchen cabinets. Pretty simple. Small company with high output. Everthing custom made. Made my daughter a really nice table for her doll house. :-D

Leet, are you invovled with any international gas projects? Such as Sable Island gas? Reason being is that Sable island is a part of Nova Scotia (where I live). Just curious.

I got a nice cushy city job at the local water department. Pays not that great but I don't do a whole lot. But when I do work I do AutoCad and ArcGIS work. I pretty much make the maps for the water department and keep track of all the assets.

DAMN CITY WORKERS!!!
