Never felt like answering this thread. Im a machinist in the specialty field of High
Speed Motion Picture Printing Equipment manufacture and repair. I analyze and
modify film printing equipment as needed to maintain image and sound track quality of
35 mm, 70mm, and Imax feature films. To sum it up- I look at a roll of film in the
theater, look at the SDDS, SRD, DTS, and analog sound tracks for QC on a special
computer, and make or modify the needed parts to maintain the overall quality you
expect when you put down your eight bucks at the theater. This covers color balance,
image stability, sound quality, and the overall "feel" of the print. I use a full shop with three Bridgeport's, two Cincinnati's, about ten lathes, an OD and a surface grinder, full weld shop, electronics shop and lots of other stuff.
Its like getting paid to play-
I get paid to sit and watch movies, then fix them when i see somthing i dont like-

Concrete crew foreman. Am presently running a small 6 man crew pouring concrete throughout the Pentagon. Its a very interesting company to work for because we're never in the same place for more than a year or two. Some of my past jobs were the Ronald Reagan Federal Trade Center (don't worry that one only cost you guys 880million in taxpayer dollars!!), Amtrak High Speed Rail facility, various projects at all 3 major D.C.area airports(walked on board the Concorde once and watched it take off numerous times, its one loud sonofabitch), more jobsites than I can remember. You never get time to be bored.

Ok, better late than never.
I'm a Sr. Manager in an IT shop for a global security/transportation company. I manage the Documentation, Training, Finanace and HR Departments for the IT portion of the company. No rocket science involved, but I am connected to the senior executives of the company and that means I get a lot of exposure to "the way things work" in a large organization, at a relatively young age - 30. (and I'm not referring to politics). I have an outstanding boss and an excellent set of peers to work with.
I've lived in Dallas, TX since 1991 - I love the 12 month riding season! I grew up in Alaska - wouldn't trade growing up there for the world, but I also wouldn't go back to live permenantly. Too isolated, not enough riding months.
Riding the dirt and street keeps me sane! It's what I live for. What I don't spend on my bikes now, I save for an early retirement - to ride my bikes all over the world. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
