What does everyone do for a living?

[SplatterTrigger]

I work at an aerospace forge shop that creates various parts that go on military helicopters and airplanes.

[Desh]

I am a software Engineer working, in a call center trouble shooting HVAC systems, and turning lights on and off

Specifically on energy management systems or do you hold tarded service peoples' hands through simple diagnostics because they can't read a wiring schematic for a piece of equipment?

Actually both.

I don't envy your job.  I can think of one time I had to call a manufacturer's tech line (on a Mitsubishi Mini-Split) for a weird problem but I usually take pride in figuring out the problem on my own.  I will say that, at least in my area, I run into some major dummy service techs at the local supply houses.  I wonder how some of these guys even hold a job in this industry.

I wonder the same thing also, I had a few guys ask where the disconnect was located, and what a freezestat was. And I have to deal with this everyday

Data development and research.  Developing tools, generating reports and troubleshooting issues regarding public school's, their financial histories, classes and students history.  Early warning indicators, test results, race/ethnicity and attendance has been pretty much my professional life for the last 7 months and for much of the foreseeable future.

That's what I get for working for a consulting firm. 

When I'm not at work I'm taking care of my kids, keep our home intact and OBEY when I get a spare minute.

Video editor. Mostly boring corporate videos. Also Game Sack (which consists of much more video editing).

I sat with our video editor a few weeks ago to get an idea of what he does. It was of a shoot we did a week before. It was an interesting vid, so it wasn't too bad. But he was telling me about some of the other stuff he generally does. Sounded super boring.
But then he does not do a kick ass youtube video game show. So at least you have that going for you!
