I work for a UK ISP, who I'm not going to namedrop because well, it's kind of crass. But it's an awesome job. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I work at the ECT as a RAW (Have no idea how to describe it in Dutch, let alone in English <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->). Great fun, and good pay. Not a full-time job though.
Basically, I sit in that yellow cabin, telling the guy who controls the crane what container s to load and discharge, and I check the info on the containers.

I work at Siemens, HR Department in Germany, doing analysis and make sure that people get their money correctly each month. Funny job, just a little deep into laws sometimes.
Right now, part time Assistant Manager <a href='http://www.morganstorage.com' target='_blank'>here -> Hooksett</a>, but I'm probably going to be working <a href='http://www.pcconnection.com' target='_blank'>here</a> doing inside sales for a lot more $$$. Pretty good for a high school grad <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Currently between education.

I work for the rural development department of the United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] in the California State office

Weekdays - in an office for a company that manufactures sintered metal components. I need to leave this job ASAP and get working with people my own age and have more fun (also: I'm blatantly incompetent). Most amusingly named product: P705 Ring Abuse.
Weekends - Cashier in Homebase, a DIY shop in the UK. Only a fraction above minimum wage, but at least I can have a giggle or two. Most amusingly named product: Butt Hinge.
I've also grown far too accustomed to working every day - time I take off always feels wasted..

I haven't talked to Frank in some number of years. He brought us a few pizzas once, and I must say it is one of the best damned pizzas I've ever had.
Do me a favor, tell Frank that Russell Weed (DOOManiac, that's me) who used to be from Front Line Force says hi.
Frank really was essential for getting FLF off the ground as he provided us w/ some dedicated testing servers and also back when there was a cs side tourney at a CPL event (this was when Q3 was still the tourney game) Frank let me put a release candidate of FLF on all the boxes and we had our first public showing of FLF. Was a mostly good response too except for having to hear the 2 people go on about "oh yeah this is a counter-strike mod. its based off the counter-strike engine just like that half-life game".
So yeah, tell him I said hi. Don't think he'll remember me though. :P
As for what I do? I work w/ a consulting company as a Web developer doing PHP/MySQL/Perl/whatever is required. I love it. I'm doing something different every day (almost) and I'm always learning new stuff. Plus everyone who works there is crazy, so I fit right in.

I don't work everyday, just on a 'when they need me' basis - I work for a manga & dojinshi (Japanese comics) dealer, so the only time I have to leave my apartment is when my boss summons me to help with inventory and such, or to conventions, where I double as a cashier / 'booth bunny' or whatever you call it.
Other than that, I do volunteer work at an LGBTRC (where we provide health information, give seminars, counseling, etc. for the non-heterosexual/transgender community) and some amateur modeling.
For regular work, I intend to get a job as a pc tech at our university bookstore. Wish me luck. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Basically, I sit in that yellow cabin, telling the guy who controls the crane what container s to load and discharge, and I check the info on the containers.
I plan on going into Grad school, then either becomming a teacher or a therapist.
I'll tell ya, reading some of the retail experiences on these forums just makes me want to work harder.
*wants to start active duty plz*
I work here. The photos in order are:
1. The front entrance
2. Where I get coffee
