Thought it would be an interesting thread to see what all us ZED owners do for a job? :cry: and describe what you have to do day to day.

 

I will start...

 

I own a dot com company (im sure that a few of you use my sites as we look after millions of people in the uk), its very varied day to day. Some days you have mountains of problems to deal with ranging from Staff, Hackers, and literally thousands of moaning people or techical problems. To other days where you can be creative coming up with new ideas and applications and get a great sence of achievement. I do love what I do but sometimes things move a bit slowly for my liking. :duffer:

 

On the plus side I have one of the guys in the office building me a nice site so I can post up all my progress and pictures on my 300zx.

I work for a manufacturer of parts for the motorsport and tuning industry as a Sales/Technical Manager. So get to mess around with cars quite a bit, I was at Palmer Sport this week look at the F2 cars they build. Also get to travel for shows to Germany and US as well as UK. Then on the weekend I ref ice hockey all over the UK

Im a Mechanical Maintenance Technician in a Nuclear Power Station. QUOTE]

 

Like Homer Simpson :bow: :D

 

Not a chance! The guys at my work who are "homer simpson's" make around £80k a year and sit on their rear ends all day!

I go rolling about inside boilers, inside reactors and alot of contaminated areas. :x: (And get paid about half of what they f**kers do!)

 

My self and my partner also own a small (15 rooms) luxury hotel/restaurant which takes up the rest of my time (she is the manager)

 

the wife and i have been thinking of trying to get same sort of thing mate i really quite like the idea:D

I'm a Project Director for a Telecommunications company.

 

hope its not VIRGIN MEDIA :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Im a Cisco Network Engineer covering all of the south west.

I play the drums for a living, you might have seen me around but then you might not have! I also run a booking agency for musicians, here's the current blurb!

from October until the end of the year I have musicians working Michael Buble, Keri Hilson, James Morrison, Kylie Minogue, Florence Rawlings, Biffy Clyro, Donny & Marie Osmond, Michael Bolton, Almost Angels & Katherine Jenkins and I shall be back touring with Alison Moyet in November/December.

Holy shit, Bob Knight, i worked with you in Marbella, with Charlotte church a couple of years ago, i was in the other band china grove, bloody hell, small world

i drive a lorry. chris moyles wrote a song about people like me :rofl:

 

And it's a lovely lorry! :D

 

 

Myself, I have worked in the rail industry for over twenty years now and have loved all of it. I started off installing signalling systems (S&T) but I'm now working on a private railway test track for Serco, we can test any form of rail based equipment from special hand based kit right up to entire train fleets (we commisioned the entire Pendolino tilting fleet for Virgin).

Day to day - I'm currently office bound (due to my injured foot) so I'm in the control room, controlling anything that moves on, and access to, the track. When I'm not stuck in here I'll drive trains for testing purposes :D This really is playing with big boys toys!

I work for a well know electrical retailer but also deal in IT engineering for them and anyone else that needs technical support.

Here is the start of the site that someone in the office has been putting together for me. She is going to do a load of 3d stuff as well so you can easily see the upgrades on a 3d model. Should be cool when done.

Up until a year ago, I was a Contract Manager for a Large National Security Company.

I am now a Police CCTV Control room Supervisor for a Joint Military/Civil Police Station, covering the Largest Army Garrison in Europe and the local town. I have lost count of how many drink drivers I've had arrested. I love it, it's the best most exciting job i have had since leaving the Army. it's like getting paid to watch ROAD WARS. :cool:
