I work in the evil realm of Electronic Component Distribution.



I am finishing up school for Engineering, while helping this company get parts deigned in from the top down on lots of different products and applications, with companies like DRS optronics/tactical (Military) and NASA. I have gotten to see some pretty neat stuff, that not many people even know is in development.

You must have better eyesight than me. I can't see those dang little things any more.

Little!?

Hell, I have seen ones the size of a small matchbox.

Funny thing is we just got a shipment in while is was at the warehouse of some 01005 case size resistors and capacitors... I could not even see them in the reels.

I was laid off from my day job in August, so I'm back to being a professional musician. Hey, just like the good old days!

I think I'll look for a road gig.

Yes, we're all bassists, but what is your profession? Are you a professional musician, or do you do something else for your day job?

I'm a botany student (graduating in December) and I work for one of my professors in his lab.

I'm a web coder HTML/CSS and Flash, and I design on the side.

 

[Revvv]

Well, I'm not sure when I have time to actually play bass, it seems that I'm on TalkBass when I'm not working.

As for what I do, well, I am a pastor, I own a couple websites and forums, I dragrace motorcycles, and I am a musician.

Yes, all of this is a profession, not a hobby. I need a vacation and some sleep, but I don't see that in my schedule any time soon.

The only good thing is that I can work on my websites while I'm in my office studying.

 

[mjolnir]

Where the heck you been?? Computer break down?

Oh yes, it went to the land of lost hard drives for a bit, not to mention the fact that work went from its normal pandemonium to the apocalypse for a couple weeks... Imagine a group of enraged howler monkeys that were given crowbars bashing away at our main server stack and you'll get the general idea of the mess my boss and I had to clean up.

 

[scootron]
