I dislike working in a cubicle.

Me too.  :smt010

Sincerely,

Jim

Mee too.  Luckily I'm the only cubicle in my room ... but no windows to the outside world.

Ive worked as an electrician since around 94-95 Got tired of the seasonal work so came inside to be A shop bitch.

That's one of the better things about my job. No cubicle. Once in a while, sure. But most of the day I spend it on rooftops. Getting pounded on by 120 degree sun for 10 hours, or standing out in the middle of a rainstorm for 10 hours, or working in gusting winds for 10 hours sure gives you a new appreciation for the weather haha. There have been days I called in "sick" of my dang job, but 99% of the time I enjoy it. Always meet new people, go to new places, and tackle new challenges every day.

I could do without working in San Francisco though. That place is a nightmare in so many ways! Okay guys let's load up 1000 feet of ductwork from across the street to the 8th floor. By the way the elevator is broken. ARG. Haha. Definitely lose 20 pounds a week on those jobs. Then gain 20 a week when it gets easier, ha.

30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

I spent the last 30 years working on or around container ships and oil tankers, traveling the world. In the last 8 years was chief engineer on the newest US built container ship going to China and more recently senior port engineer for a shipping company in Oakland.

But as of this Friday May 30, I am joining the ranks of the retired, only water vessel I will be in is human powered!

I get to wake up next Monday and go fishing if I want, or as long as my wife let's me :smt003

I am a 2D/3D Game Artist for PC, Mobile Tablets/Phones, and Facebook games - been doing this since 09. I'm an traditional artist at heart but I also enjoy designing stuff - kayaks, lures, crab snares...

(Update)
Currently working for a company called Heartflow as a Case Analyst. I basically take CT scans of a patient's heart and turn it into a 3D model for a specialized computer to work out fluid flow computations based off the model.

Cheers

That's a clever way of breaking the rules.  Post a classified in a section not for classifieds because you don't have 10 posts.
Yet you've been here for quite a while. Hmmmmmm.

The posts are all fluff with the clear intention to pad post count to be able to post the kayak for sale, but he clearly seems interested in our sport given he joined 3 months ago. I'd give the benefit of the doubt here.

Kayaker-  this thread is about what you do for a living. Unless you sell friend's kayaks for a living, please tell us what you do. Then start an intro thread and tell us about your paddling and fishing. Including fish porn is always appreciated. Welcome to NCKA!
