My job is to break into people's homes and hide their keys when they are in a rush to get out. Its all part of a Government ploy to increase taxes on things you can't find.
It's also closely tied to the large companies that manufacture dishes to put things in, "So they don't get lost".

But seriously. I'm an Aerospace Engineering student. Sort of Geeky I suppose.

Nice, haha I'm a package handler myself and I have to say I would LOVE a mentally-stressful office job. Its starting to age me faster than I would care for, for instance my back.

And I'm the guy you call when you forget your passwords and can't figure out the PC doesn't work because it's turned off. For the past year I been working for a bank's IT call center, there's only about 20 of us for the entire midwest. I really wish tellers would stop giving our number to customers and telemarketers.

I've had my fair share of hard labor jobs. I've built houses and played in cement. You talk about packing in a warehouse, try carrying packs of roof shingles on a steep peak in the middle of July, trust me the temperature is a lot hotter up there than you think.

Forunately, I'm leaving my call center job (yay no more phones) in about 2 weeks as I've now got a job as a programmer. I'll be using Java mostly and interfacing some sort of systems together, can't remember exactly. So does that qualify me as geeky?

Oh, and if anyone works for the Geek Squad, you win by default!

more nerdy i'd say, geek stuff tends to be useful :p

It is far better to complete a 10 line program than to start a 10,000 line program.

"I want to lay claim to being one of the most geeky (what a title!).

I am currently debugging and translating Adobe CS4 but I plan to give up my job in September to become a mature student studying for a degree in Computer Game Programming"



where are you going to take courses for game programming?
