Default What do you do for a living?

Just wondering what everyone does for money here. Where do you work? More importantly...what would you say...you do there?

Anyways, I work for Telus handling repair issues for their "Top 50" clients, but I'm getting laid off in a week so I've switched departments and will be doing Loyalty and Retention for Telus for mobility customers.

I sell patio furniture, and I'm not very good at it.

Graduated from SAIT in March, freeloading as much as I can until fall when I'll start my job search and enter the real world. With some minor Website design on the side until then.

I work at a small IT Consulting company. We are pretty much a one stop shop. We do it all. I do some web development but mostly I am the network and tech support guru. If I can't fix it, nobody can.

Buff you handle networking issues for companies? We have had nothing but problems with our network connections, general performance, etc. and our current guys can't get it right.

Buff is the best of the best!

Actually I don't know. But I did once go to his office where he was holding my Blue Jays hat hostage. Seemed like a pretty legit business operation though. Only a few dead bodies lying around.
