    I'm actually changing jobs at the end of the month. Going to be a "Sr. Windows Desktop Engineer/Architect". The job description is rather vague with just high level terms so from what I've gathered through interviews is basically what I do now, for more money. I manage projects my desktop support team has to do (refresh, installing thin clients, upgrading to Windows 7, etc), and help them get the support they need from the national Desktop Engineering team (antivirus, windows patches, software packaging, imaging). So now I'll be doing that at a national level, supporting multiple hospitals, working directly for Ascension instead of being subcontracted through Dell. So more money, consistent salaried pay, and 1 less layer of management. Oh yeah, on-call 1 week every 15 weeks instead of being backup on-call every week like I've been for the last 2 years. Will be nice to be able to have my after-hours back to myself again! :D

    Corporate account manager with a national food distributor and specializing in exports for chain food restaurants. Working on getting my customs house broker license next month though, and hoping that will open up some opportunities for me. Still not sure what I wanna be when I grow up though.

    nice cartoon. Yeah it can be pretty ridiculous with some of the parents, and 98% of the time its the kids at fault but, "my baby would never do anything wrong."

    7th-8th grade history and science for special needs. And I do wood carving and burning as side job. So in the summer I'm my own boss:)
