Thought it might be time for a new topic.  Was wondering what everyone's job was?  I work in the Emergency Dept. as a PCT (patient care tech).  I draw blood, IV's, EKG's, help with lacerations, OD's, CPR, etc.  Not quite a nurse, but I love my job.  Don't have as much paperwork, :yuck: :)

pa sweetie, Leave it up to Sal!!!! I am a technician at Verizon which used to be Bell Atlantic that was originally just the 'telephone company'. I work on computerized, telecommunications equipment - fixing it and maintaining it. The job is very interesting! Too bad I'm getting tired of working..... :)

lol Pa_sweetie, us guys work too. I work at IBM as an Equipment Specialist. It is a very demanding job both physicaly and mentaly. I do everything from the smallest electronics to the biggest air conditioners i ever saw. I love my job and thank them "almost" everyday by busting my butt to keep things running.  They are going to pay for my schooling, so i am going to take full advantage of that very soon.

Jack of all trades, master of none!

Technicaly, I'm a Machine-Tool Repairman.

I do field service electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic repairs of metal working machinery.

I work on both manual and computerized equipment. On some of the older machines, I may have to manufacture my own mechanical parts or farm the work out.

Often I have to research replacement electrical parts due to many of the companies are no longer in buisness or have merged.

I also have to do welding, purchasing, drafting, etc.

I work for a small company where the boss treats me well. How else could I support my hobbies!
