My main deal is writing software. I spend part of my week designing, part working with the customer(s), part running the team (this is my main function), part psychologist (due to personalities) and part developer.

I work for a large company that services it's own products as well as competitors. Lots of industrial food service products as well as other lines.

I think you can guess.

I'm actually mostly retired, going to college full time, and running the forums as a consultant.

I install commercial office furniture, basically a cubical farmer, I put them up. I'm currently on an account in a series of buildings that takes up about 2 city blocks. According to my pedometer I'm averaging between 2-5 miles a day just walking around the facility. I'm getting back into riding again, but here in Milwaukee mother nature just can't make up her mind if it's going to be 30 degrees or raining...or both.

I guess you can count me as an IT type. I'm in online store operations. Basically make sure the offers/options for our products are correct online.

Software developer, GPS vehicle tracking systems. Work from home -- no commute and flexible enough that I can get out for a ride most days.

I am paid a hefty bounty by a fund run by George Soros and the Koch Brothers for every bike forums member I convert to recumbent riding.
