Composer/arranger, performer, bus/truck driver and general lord high everything else - all at the same facility.

Mostly a desk job, but sometimes it gets interesting...

Well, I for one wouldn't want an EMT coming on a bike to save my life, so I guess we can allow that driving.

I'm a proofreader for Bike Forums.

Although, strangely, my business cards say Senior Mechanical Engineer (weird - I thought I had to be 55+ for that job title!) for a company doing micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) components. Mostly I'm at a desk, with the occasional foray into the machine shop or the cleanroom.

We need a thread fixer!

I pretend I'm a business analyst. The commute is a great stress reliever after a full day of teleconferences or Sametime demos.

I'm a college student and a Pharmacy Clerk. I'm taking the PTCB in a few months and then I'll be promoted to a Tech. But basically it's just a service job.
