So... what do you fellas do?

I was just on the "where are you" thread and got the idea to start a thread to see what everybody does for an occupation. Put down what you do now and also what your favorite job has been.

I am a design modeler for a heavy construction company. I use SolidWorks to design concrete structures such as, parking garages, high rise business buildings, prisons, etc.

I think my favorite job--if you can call it that, was being an actor in a passion play about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. I was a part of the show for 6 years. It is called The Promise and it is in Glen Rose, TX. There is also a show of the same play in Branson, Missouri. I played everything from a mounted Roman soldier to the appostle James son of Zebede, and in my later years of the show I was one of the Pharisees. I got to be the bad guys and good guys.

Let us know what you do and your favorite job.

I'm a Field Representative for a Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical design firm. I go to job sites and ,make sure that contractors are installing our designs per plans and specifications.

My job requires a lot of driving, long hours on my feet, climbing ladders, etc. So getting the weight off is critical for me.

I've been a police officer for a little over 15 years and am finally fitting back into uniforms I havn't been able to wear for a very long time.

Police uniforms are not fat friendly... Imagine getting a fat roll pinched between your body armor vest and your gun belt.

All right... knock off the donut jokes... LOL... New Yawk Lawyah jokes are funnier anyways...
