Photographer, check the site link for my work.... Any for any of you 1920x1080 types out there, ya, I know my image on the landing page is too small.

15 Years US Air Force Special Operations (it stopped being fun for some reason), Then became a Deputy Sheriff (13 years) where I was a Cybercrimes Investigator and SWAT Certified (Room entry, Breaching, etc) was on my way to K9 and Sniper but life threw me a curve and I crippled my shoulder on a call of a burglary alarm. So now I'm unemployed and looking for work with the exceptions of my part time jobs that pays most of the bills and allows me to box when I have time.

Finishing up my honors comp sci with minor in mathematics degree this april.
In fact, its been about 30 minutes since I finished the final report for my undergraduate comp sci thesis.

Solutions Architect for a Major US IT outsourcing company.

Basically, I go into a company that has put out an RFP for hosting/managed services and figure out what it would cost for us to turn around and provide hosting and managed services to them so that they can concentrate on whatever their business was meant to do, and leave the IT to me.

Unfortunately, part of my job is leveraging offshore resources to bring the cost of services down. I have to admit that I am one of those evil guys that kills some US jobs every year. Not a part that i'm proud of, but its all because of the mortgage. (Thank you for smoking)

my 2 cents

Mostly QQ, fyi

I'm a process server. I serve south of Seattle in WA down to/through the northern part of Pierce county (the next southern county). It's typical that I drive 100 miles a day. I'm the guy that gets to ruin holidays, see struggling families get papers in front of their (hopefully) clueless kids, deliver to seniors who might be in the last residence of their lives. Ya, it's loads of fun. The work isn't difficult, except I get blamed for people knowing the system and just don't open the door. And then I get to go back to them over the next few days. Then start the process the next month. I've served some of the same tenants for 6yrs, almost monthly. I get to deal with a legal system that's more on the tenant's side, than on the people who are getting ripped off. It's not legal, but it's not illegal; like joyriding. Dealing with managers who won't tell me that the guy is out of town, oops, or in jail. 'Oh, ya the address is SE 272nd street' and not 272nd St. SE, (sorry you went across the county/town area because I'm too dim-witted to get the directional in the right place (even though that's the only property I own).

Listening to the boss about how I'm not performing well, when I've been up at 5a work til 9 or 10, try and sleep in the day. I'll try to start about 7p which helps with traffic and when most people are home, ending after 11p many nights. I work 7 days a week, most of them this double shift. So I switched to just staying up til 5am Trying to nap after midnight often results in failure. I'm often so tired, my brain is mush. But being who I am, I really don't fit in with many people, nor do I really try any longer. So, it's what I can do, work wise, no degree. While I'm no where near being successful, for the few wants I have, I'm pretty definitely comfortable.

With all this, I really could go on n on...and on, really. Been on my mind a lot lately. After the 1600th door that you can see/hear that they are there, but you're impotent, it really is a pretty sad job. There's a few bright anecdotes involving women wearing near or totally nothing. Luckily, I haven't been really assaulted, or set on fire as a NY Marshal was (with his own lighter, no less). Some kind, friendly people along my route that bring a smile to me on a monthly basis. Mostly, though, it's the avoiders and the people who are there on a daily basis and often monthly, that claim they don't live there. They promise to inform the legal resident who should be back 'in an hour'.

Sorry for the rant. In closing, personality and my schedule is what brought me to multiboxing.

I'm a Dry Etch technician at Intel. The toolset I work on makes the little interconnect lines for connection transistors and sram together. 0.45um stuff these days. I work 12 hr days, 4 on 4 off and 3 on and 3 off. So, I play on days off and not much on days that i work 12 hrs and have to get up at 0430 sucks....

BS EET

I run three family companies.. However!

It's 65 euro a month for me. That's like, about the same amount I'd spend when going out on a saturday evening. Instead of wasting my money on alcohol I just waste it on entertainment. If you think about it, there are far sillier things people waste money on and it's not really that much money at all. xP
