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 am a software technical support lead engineer. I did hold the title of manager, but due to some re-organization, they gave someone with 20+ years tenure the manager's hat and laterally moved me into the 2nd-banana slot. That's ok though - now I only have to work 8 hours a day :-)

Desk job, so, I was back at work the next morning after banding - from home of course :-) I'm back in the office today though.

I do have an interesting background though... US Marine Corps reservist as an MP and full-time LAPD for several years during my 20's... So, my current job (have had it for 10 years) is a far cry from where I used to be.

I'm a Web Developer.

Same here with the sitting all the time. I bought some dumb bells from the store and I'm going to use those however. Getting in exercise is important when you work 8+ hours a day and get little exercise. With just a pair of dumb bells i can do all kinds of exercises.

Land use and municipal governance attorney. All desk, all the time. Tentatively scheduled for March 10 banding pending insurance approval.

I'm a Locomotive Engineer (Hoghead) for BNSF railroad. It is without a doubt the very best and most fun job that I have ever had. I just started my 15th year this last November. I can't think of ever doing anything else.

I work for a small independent Oil and Gas Company in southeast Texas. My title is "Operations Superintendent" which really means chief cook and bottle washer / jack of all trades....master of none!

We have crude oil and natural gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and some operations on land in Louisiana and Mississippi.

I started out working for a MAJOR oil company for 13 years, then got lucky and found this small firm that I've now been with for the last 15. I enjoy my present job because the only people I answer to are the two brothers that own the company. Great people....great atmosphere.

Now if I could just get rid of all this fat! :thumbup:

I have the worst job in this bad economy. I do the evictions on foreclosed properties that the banks take back.

Somebodys got to do it right.

I own a company that sells blueprinting machines. I drive about 50,000 miles a year and have been making bad food choices on the road for 20 years. Like the selling part, the rest not so much. No hobbies to speak of, but I have a lifetime worth of things to do that my weight has stopped me from doing.

What is on your post weight loss list to do? I am interested to know.

I am a partsman for one of the oldest John Deere dealers in Washington state.

I love my job too!!!
