I was just on the "where are you" thread and got the idea to start a thread to see what everybody does for an occupation. Put down what you do now and also what your favorite job has been.

I am a design modeler for a heavy construction company. I use SolidWorks to design concrete structures such as, parking garages, high rise business buildings, prisons, etc.
I think my favorite job--if you can call it that, was being an actor in a passion play about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I was a part of the show for 6 years. It is called The Promise and it is in Glen Rose, TX. There is also a show of the same play in Branson, Missouri. I played everything from a mounted Roman soldier to the appostle James son of Zebede, and in my later years of the show I was one of the Pharisees. I got to be the bad guys and good guys.

Let us know what you do and your favorite job.

Great idea for a thread - this really helps us see the diversity of our new community. I am a SVP, Human Resources. I am also a dad of an autistic son. Other than that I volunteer on the neighborhood board and the local autism board.

I just went through a sleep study in March'07. Pretty strange sleeping with all those wires glued to my head!
Was diagnosed with interrupted sleep... not apnea, thank God. The interrupted sleep was probably because I was working Midnight shift at the time. I no longer work that

Here in Texarkana, the bariatric docs make every Lap Band pt get a sleep study. It's pretty cool having just been through it myself. I can usually answer a lot of questions....

Network Administrator - Thought it was a great job till I noticed I wsn;t getting any exercise like my old jobs.

Old jobs included

AppleBee's Manager
Sous Chef at Country club
Cable modem installer
Printing Press operator.

I get little exercise cause I can remote form my laptop into just about anything, so I don't even have to get out of my chair.
