What do you do in your regular life?

But now, I am no longer unemployed... I am a Customer Solutions Specialist for a chemical distribution company. Which is fancy language for I work in a call center* (albeit a highly sophisticated, ultra-modern, and development focused one). The pay is good, the perks are awesome, and the long-term career potential/opportunity is huge. It's only day two, but I am definitely looking forward to it!

*Okay technically it is an "Interaction Center" since about 50% of the orders are placed electronically via fax email/website.

So from my post in the other related thread. Seems fair to update since I have had two promotions since then. Currently I serve as my team screener which means I am the [non-management] team leader, I manage my team's workload. Today I got a promotion I was denied for a week ago (I guess I was the second choice and a spot opened up LOL), so in a couple weeks I will switch to a new team that works with irregular inventory and basically commits it to orders (the system automatically commits inventory to orders based on some equations, anytime it cannot, a human has to look at it and determine if we can commit stock or not).

LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing students suddenly recognize the depth of their potential!

I work for Google.
The learning opportunities are pretty insane, and the benefits.
The NDA sucks.

I work as a construction foreman. I specialize in remodel work (done hundreds of bathrooms the last 20 something years!)

I love doing electrical work, esp when I get to design it with the owners!
Love getting new people in the company and teaching them valuable skills.

Hate paperwork and firing guys that can't get it together
