Its a Country Club for them rich folk Surprises me how much they pay to go there let alone how they can still afford to drive EXTREAMLY nice cars... i wish i had that pocket change.

I do contract web development for a few companies outa Minnesota and Wisconsin from home. Been working from home since June 05'. Hardest job I've ever had, seriously.. I work more hours then I did working at a 'real' 40hr/wk full time job.. only thing good about it is the pay and i get to be home / do what I want when I want to..

something along the lines of some kind of computer service engineer

basically i work from home and drive around the country fixing problems with computers / networks / POS / any IT stuff in shops / hotels / sports stadia (mostly bigger football clubs - premier / championship clubs).

covering anything from replacing equipment such as a monitor / mouse, to full system builds, installs, and software including all windows flavours 3.1 -> server 2003, Novell, Unix and some other random stuff. and also pretty much any printer u can think of and many you would never see hehehe.

every day is totally different, today i replaced 4 floppy drives in old IBM clones and fixed a multi feeding label printer in a vets. and covered about 220 miles (....... and got stuck in traffic cause it was snowing ) , yesterday i replaced and setup a modem, replaced a dvd drive in a alaptop and then fixed a corrupt win 98 machine, so need to do a lot of on the job learning, as there is simply too much stuff to learn from a book or training courses.

good fun though, more freedom than a 9-5 desk job

Wink Sure! Why not....

I work for a company that makes wood Instrument and Door Panels,
Consoles, Center Finish Panels, shifter knobs, etc. for luxury vehicles.
We do business with FORD, GM and Chrysler as well as other "big" names
like Mercedes, BMW, Cobalt Boat, and Freightliner. We are all about wood-
working.

I am going on 12 years here. It's alright but I'd rather be at the beach.

I worked in production here for 6 years and now am an Internal Certified
Quality Auditor. I audit the System, processes, procedures work instructions
and Suppliers according to TS 16949 and ISO 14001. I also deal with
customers complaints and sometimes, have to take road trips for them as well.
(Basically I have to be serious and professional... ... not always easy
to be serious if you know me).

The next time you walk by (or if you own) a Cadillac Eldorado or Seville,
a Ford Navigator or Certain Mercedes and BMW vehicles, Chrysler , etc.
take a look at the wood. It's all real as long as it isn't from our competitor.
(They make imitation panels from plastic).
