I service and repair commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment. The regular local restaurant type stuff. Carrabba's, Golden Corral, Zaxby's, etc, as well as the typical Mom-N-Pops outfits.
In most cases, based on what I have to work in/on, if I were a health inspector . . . . . . . . . .. We'd be eating at home more often.
Been working in the local county schools lately. Squeaky clean.
Sadly, a great deal of my work involves cleaning up behind other so-called professionals (yes I screw-up once in a while and boy, is it spectacular! ). Keep it up boys. The job security is nice.

Distribution Coordinator for Duke Energy. Basicly if your power is out I try to get it back on as safely and as quicky as I can. Or, if equipment needs repaired or serviced I try not to interupt your power while getting the piece of equipment or line out of service.

I farm and work construction with my dad. We do everything from remodeling to new homes to shops to concrete work, so we stay pretty busy. Also a volunteer firefighter for my community.

Blackdodge, yep. The mechanics deal with the machine in every way. Computers, tear downs, rebuilds, change out parts, diagnose parts, set up, change overs (going from one product to another), highest paid hourly people, lots of OT (about 10-20 hours a week). The only things they do not do are building maintenance, and sanitation. But they do help out in those areas.

I'm going to school to be a john deere service technician right now, I worked on a custom wheat harvest crew (Sykora Harvesting from Beardsley, MN) running combines and driving trucks this past summer and plan on doing that again this summer. Through the rest of the year when I'm not at school I work for a couple local farmers around home doing various odd jobs just to stay busy. I guess you could call me a jack of all trades, master of none

I'm currently a Bible College student working towards my youth ministers degree. Right now I'm working for the College's General Maintance department. I'm in charge of the paint crew but I get to do other things as well. I also had my own lawn care buisness for about 6 years back home in Indiana, but gave it up to go to school. I also do repairs on students vehicles here at the school, saves them money and makes me money.

Retired (39 years) school teacher.
Retired (30 years) school bus driver. Here, I became a Cummins fan.
Retired (17 years) football and basketball official. Knee injury forced this retirement.
Now, all I do is mow grass and look for a reason to hook up to the 5'ver.
Retirement is great.

Foreman of an asphalt crew for a small paving company, just under 20 employees. Hot and hard work but it keeps me honest. Been at it for a little over 10 years now.
