What's your occupation? Pellet people?

Every year it comes up.... Been waiting for a certain "someone" to do so, but not waiting any longer.

I work for a world renowned Steel producer. One of the largest in the U.S., 12 yrs and counting.

I work as tech support/installer/jack of all trades for an Avaya distributor (and legacy Nortel, as Avaya purchased Nortel in 2009). I work on PBX systems and data networking gear. 13 years of fun and excitement spanning Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

Currently trying to figure one out...

Since April 2000 I've maintained golf course equipment. For the last 9 years I've been the Equipment Manager for a private golf club and residential community in Durango CO, overseeing and maintaining the equipment and vehicle fleet, including snow removal pieces.

I also represent a specialty lubricants manufacturer, and focus on golf and it's related industries.

I work for a small company managing comercial\industrial properties and a gravel operation. Many days I'm not sure what my job description is but I've been doing it for 26 years. And I'm very proud of that part.

I do as little as possible to make as much as possible!
Is this a marketing question to better understand demographics of the website?

I am a Scientist I in a for a large Biotech lab outside of Utica, NY. Been there coming up on 7 years. Prior to that, for 4 and a half years I worked with my brother in a commercial, family owned, select cut logging operation. I mostly just drove the skidder.

I am a retired old fart trying to keep up with the honey-do list, which, of course, is impossible! I spent 6 years in Submarines during Viet Nam and then 35 years in plastics processing. I ended up as Engineering Manager making what you all call 'totes'. Those big 275 gallon plastic bottles in cages. Worked for Continental Can Company who sold me to Sonoco Products who sold me to Greif Brothers. I felt like a friggin slave on the auction block. Three pension checks that add up to about half of what it would have been if I stayed with CCC the whole time! Oh, well, Obama's going to get it all anyway. Gotta keep shoes on the hoe and spawn.

I am a control-room operator at a secure facility.
