I am just curious to find out just how many in here work in and IT. If you do I am curious what you do.
I personally am a Sr. Systems Administrator for a small engineering firm in Matthews NC.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I look forward to hearing from you. All the IT work is just one of the jobs I do as technical services manager for a pick and place manufacturer in Apex NC. I think woodwork seems to attract engineering types!!

I am in the IT field as well. You name it I have done it,lol. Primarily though I set up Tactical networks where ever the army needs them. (Just wish sometimes I was doing it as a civilian,,waay more money) I am not a computer geek by choice, but the work is challenging and I will have a great job skill when I get out of the army.

I am a retired IT type who never had time to do much else other than work and raise a family with 3 children. I started in early 60's when 8k of memory was a revolution and tabulating cards were purchased by the truck load. I worked up thru IT management and eventually got a break that I wanted to get into general management. IT professionals are many times seen as having limited skills outside of IT but given the opportunity they can demonstrate their vast knowledge of the workings and dynamics of an organization better than most other positions. Staying in IT can be a rewarding career or as in my case a great background to move into finance or general management. P.S. Woodworking is a great hobby that challenges your creativity, provides tangible results and is stress free when compared to what you are experiencing in your IT position. Best wishes | |

No, I'm retired 
However, I did much of our in-house support for printing pre-press. But they were mostly Macs, not mainframes or PCs 
Majored in English in college and I am definitely engineering challenged. Therefore shop machinery and woodwork planning/conceptualizing are also a challenge. But that doesn't diminish the fun and it enhances the challenge . . . well, except for days like ----> 
No doubt the woodworker demographics are skewed on NCWWer. Time in front of the monitor (whether work or play) is often a reflection of our membership.

Retired. Not really an IT type, managed software developers and hardware people and occasionaly IT types.
Well, I guess I'm sort of an IT type since I do all the work for woodworker.coles-sys.com, which is me and is the host of this site and several others 
Actually, I was supposed to be a network security "expert"  before I got tired of the corporate world in the silicon valley. VPN, Public Keys, DNSsec, etc.

Software Quality Analyst for 12 years before transplant to NC. Managed special projects for end users. Met with users, designed special programming changes and wrote specs for them. Then tested and documented them and traveled to sites to implement them. For a company headquartered in Montana that sells their packages to welding and home health care companies. Airgas, BOC Gases, Liberty Medical, Praxair, etc. use the software for most all their company needs. OE, inventory control, purchasing, cylinder control, medical billing, AP, GL, etc. The system was on VAX/VMS written in Dibol when I started, (actually a PDP for those THAT old) and then we finally ported it to OSF, Linux, Unix, Windows.
None of the testing back here is manual, and I'm not up on current automated procedures. So it seems I'm not very marketable.  Soooooo, I'm looking, but mostly biding my time wrecking wood, taking some classes in pharma manufacturing.

 WSD1089 - Wachovia Systems Development...so...that is my old login id before 'the big merger'. It means nothing now, but is easy for me to remember and I'm guaranteed that nobody is using it on any chat boards I go to. Currently, I've moved away from some of the true development and spend most of my time on technical analysis/arch design/etc. | |

I work at Duke University in the Office of Information Technology, in the Centralized Device and Server Support. I'm a Team Lead for desktop support, but mainly support our NetWare Clustered Server environment. Am in the process of retiring about 12 primary production servers, migrating all the data onto an EMC2 storage area network with all cluster resources hosted by two Dell Poweredge servers.
As a Tarheel, Dook SUCKS but the benefits are wonderful.
Go Heels!
