I've never seen a thread like this before so here goes. What does everyone do for a living?
I work (hahaha work, that kills me:D ) as a business manager at a Chrysler dealership. Previously I was in retail sales, most notably as a sales manager at Future Shop.

I'm basically trying to see what kind of expertise, knowledge, and good deals I can try to leverage out of Polk members.

    I actually thought that you were asking what I do at work (in the office) when I'm bored....... :D:D:D

    Yahoo Games

    Digitally Imported

    Club Polk

    AOL

    That being said, if I'm in the office, I have nothing to ultimately do. Acutally, it goes (in this order) sign onto the network, log onto Digitally Imported, Club Polk, Outlook, then AOL.

    I install all of the computer systems (Point of Sale, Pharmacy, and Comm equipment) in the Drug Division of Albertsons (Osco and Sav-On Drugs). Also various projects such as the Digital Photo Kiosk rollouts that are kickin our a$$es......

    I work for two website companies.

    www.regionalhelpwanted.com (the place to go if you are lookin for a job)

    www.cupid.com (the place to go if you're lookin for a date)

    ever heard of those websites? they are only advertised on radio and the name of the first website will change based on where you are. there's 281 websites because the company decided to localize instead of having one website. regional is just the parent company. check them out :D

    We share a van, when he is out selling speakers I fish for carp. If you look closely, the walls behind my gear say Frigidaire and Whirlpool.

    In my 15 years in the Army, I was computer technician (and still build systems), but I've been in logistics for the last 7 years as a Federal service civilian; needed to grab a job, and couldn't wait on a computer opening. Now, most of the computer jobs are going contract, so I think I'll stay in logistics.
