I'm recently unemployed (last week), so let me know if you have any leads!

For the last 8 years I worked as a Sales/Project Coordinator in 2 different office furniture dealerships -
it's basically Inside Sales but in reality I was more or less a desk jockey. :busy

Before that I taught English as a Foreign Language in private institutes in SF.
Yes, I was an English Major...  :-?

And of course, I worked the usual odd jobs while in high school and college, including laundromat attendant, auto parts clerk & delivery driver, gas station attendant, and driving a tow truck before I was 18 - not sure if the insurance company knew about that.

Formerly a desk jockey  :smt024 and worked for a big company (Konica Minolta) and now working at a "Toy Store" (Aquan Sports). I took a big pay cut but I'm definitely enjoying the "benefits" of the job :smt002.......

Hey Mooch, cool paddleboards!

I manage a software development group at Tandberg Television (part of Ericsson now) and I'm on LinkedIn.

We make head-end equipment that Comcast, Dish Network AT&T and others would buy to encode and massage video to the user.

Mostly watch movies all day  :smt003

I had a pizza parlor for 20 years, I sold it 3 years ago, and now do maintenance for a local school. I love the paid days off, sick leave, vacation, insurance, 8 hr days and weekends off. The best part is, that my work is 5 minutes from the Tuolumne river, and 15 minutes from Turlock inlet, We usually fish b4 work, at lunch or after work.

My 9-5 is working as an IT guy for my local County Government.  Hate working, I'd rather be fishing!  I SHOULD be working now, but here I am cruising NCKA.ORG, LOL!!!!

In my spare time (when I'm not fishing/kayaking) I own an internet web hosting business: http://www.techi.net

And in my spare spare time, I do volunteer work for the local animal shelter.
