Thanks, definitely a Dr Jykle/Mrs. Hyde
But I enjoy them

I'm a nurse/offshore medic. I work agency jobs, so can be looking after little old ladies one week, and deep sea divers the next.

Kanga dearest. I state this with total truth.

There is nothing about you that is mediocre. Far from it.

Des

Thanks Des ( and Aprilfooseball). I think I have lost a bit of my own identity in the past few years. I have certainly been blessed to be able to stay at home and I wouldn't trade that for the world. It just makes you feel "like somebody's mom" sometimes instead of me... If that makes sense.

Thanks for making my morning.

I am a waste water treatment plant operator. 💩

Former Marine, currently doing ultrasonic testing in the aerospace industry.

For any interested

Thx for thread. Enjoy seeing all the different backgrounds from the community!

After college, I worked for Gannett as a graphic designer/production manager. Moved on to IT for the same company. Once newspapers started tanking, I was laid off for 6 months. I did freelance graphic design/IT work until my next job at a career & technology center teaching entry level computer classes. My wife landed a job with Central Michigan University and I also was lucky enough to find work there as well.

Currently I am the Adaptive Technology Coordinator for Student Disability Services at CMU. I help our students with software and hardware needs depending on their disability. I also do lots of book scanning and conversion to electronic text so our students can use the textbooks with the appropriate software. I'm also involved with proctoring for tests/exams taken in our testing facility. It is a very fulfilling job and there is never a dull moment. I've also learned a lot about people and the many different disabilities they struggle with every day. I feel good knowing that I can do something that makes a difference in their life.

I'm also a father of three and I help out on my daughter's softball, soccer teams; my son's baseball, soccer, basketball and football teams; and my youngest son is currently doing teeball. I've also coached middle school track & field and hope to coach high school someday.

Assistant Microbiologist.

i work with chemicals more than bacteria.. its analytical testing lab.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

I am currently self employed as a materials analyst, engineer/design and build specialist. I also paint, sculpt, work with wood/metal/stone, CAD, some home remodeling custom installation. Basically, someone has an idea that no one else wants to do and i make it happen, for a price.

I used to train show horses ( TN walking horses, saddlebreds, and cart ponies)

I've been in the IT field since 2006. I am currently a Change Management Coordinator for one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Healthcare companies in the Midwest.

Trained up to Master craftsman status my job is varied

Wow. Everyone here seems to have some awesome/interesting jobs!

Before I was a stay at home mom I still didn't have awesome jobs like these. I guess I have always been stuck in mediocrity. It's pretty great to see so much talent and versatility here at ATS.

It does take all kinds.

=D too bad we don't have annual ATS picnics where some of us happen to start building stuff that is wired with ultra high tech stuff lol with all the talent here we could probably build an ATS UFO diner =D

Systems librarian (IT), librarian, library clerk and associate, columnist (20 years), writer (5 books, 250 articles), Machinist Mate (nuke), US Navy, Washington Department of Employment Security: Interviewer, Pacific Northwest Bell: Frameman, Ocmulgee National Monument: Cataloger, Day’s Tailor-D Clothing: Warehouse, Made Nitwicks, those little tiny candles that come in the shape of animals, Ice Cream Truck Driver, King County Park Department: Dump truck driver, UW: dishwasher, Slim’s Drive In: Short order cook, Sold: Filter Queen vacuum cleaners (not well), US Postal Service: Ran cancelling machine for all 983XX and 984XX zip codes, Delivered: Seattle Post-Intelligencer, In Alaska on MV Claudia: Trolled for salmon, gas station attendant......and.....retired.

I've been a stay-at-home mom for the last 7 years, but before that I was in advertising (business side, not creative), then marketing for a retirement planning company, and I also managed a small call center for another retirement planning company. Not too exciting, but it is what it is.

I've decided to home school my daughter starting next year, so I can add another job to my list -- teacher!

While my actual position isn't all that exciting, Admin. manager, the company I work for and the customers are what makes it that way.
We manufacture polyurethane in liquid form. Which means our customers vary so much, in what they use it for.
We have a world famous taxidermist, that distributes for us. Our stuff is used by the Rock Climbing hold industry. It is also used on famous aluminum bats.

They are definitely what has kept me here, for all these years. Well, that and damn nice bosses!

This is pretty interesting. It's like everyone is posting their resume. I'm glad to see a nice turnout and a good amount of diversity.

My only question to the OP is "Are any of us hired for whatever super secret project your obviously recruiting for?"
