A while back, we had a discussion on who all did or did not enjoy their job (Do you enjoy your job?). This got me to thinking, it wouldn't be bad to have just a general thread for everyone to tell what it is they do every day. I'll go first!
I am currently employed at Tiffin Motorhomes in Red Bay, Alabama (United States). We build and service motorhomes and sell them all across the U.S. and Canada, and even in China and Austrailia. My job is "PC Specialist". If any of the employees have an issue that is hardware or Windows related, they call the helpdesk and I either fix the problem, or I escalate the task if it is an issue that involves special software or otherwise is something that I am not responsible for. I am also responsible for creating the Windows deployment images and applying them to all the new or repurposed PCs. If someone gets a new PC, I prepare and install it and then take the old one back and determine if it can be re-used in any capacity, and then fix and deploy it as well. Someone dropped their laptop and broke the screen? I fix that as well. Basically, I'm the one who jumps when anyone says "hey computer boy" Overall I enjoy my job. It is very close to what I had in mind for a long-term career working for "the man". My biggest complaint is that it is 30 minutes from home and also in another state (I live in Mississippi).
And....I also own a very small side business. "Ben's Computer Repair" tenatively because I haven't had time to put much thought into a name (or get a business license either). Bascially I fix everything. I build gaming PCs, business PCs, do all types of repair, upgrades, cabling jobs for businesses, etc. I originally started this as a hobby. Over a couple years, it grew to be my support for going to school. At this point, it serves as a way to build savings, as I also have a full-time job making sure motorhomes get built.
Thats me! What about you?
