Geologist. Actual 'role' title is "Minerals Specialist I".

I work for the State, actually, the Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy (DMME). In the Division of Mined Land Reclamation (DMLR), in the Technical Services section.

We review applications for coal-mining permits, investigate citizens' complaints related to mining, restore abandoned mine sites, and assist public education programs.

Lots of fun.... glad I like my work.

I basically design everything you see, not hear (well sort of, but that gets complicated) for Peavey guitar and bass amps. I do mixers and PA systems too, but only because I have to.

Wisker!

I've got a Peavey amp that needs some help!

It's a Triumph 60; the footswitch to change between the two 'hot' channels will change the light on the pedal, but the amp will only stay on one of the channels, and not actually switch to the other.

Ideas??

Wow, an impressive group. I especially like the Police Officer with a sense of humor and since I have friends in London, Ohio, we may run into one another. (watch for a blue disco II) I am also impressed with the Peavey guy. My son loves his amp and I've always been impressed by their designs.

Joe, I thought I would be the only student.

I am 20 years old and drive a White '97 Disco

I work for Advanced Micro Devices in Austin, doing lab equipment purchasing. I bet I hate my job more than anybody here. I am studying to be a Mechanical/Aerospace Engineer (that is my passion) 1/2 time at Austin Community College, transfering to University of Texas at Arlington in a year.

Anybody want to hire me as an intern in Dallas Fort Worth area? No really, I got a good resume (for a 20 year old), if you know somebody.

Oh, and a Rover-aholic already (sad at such a young age isn't it).

intern with the FAA aircraft Certification Office: it's in Dallas. FAA hires engineers all the time, not a bad place to start..

I'm a student at GT & UNC-Charlotte (Electrical Engineering Major) and I was an intern in the Engineering Dept. as well as CAD Operator for a Telecommunications Engineering Firm, though I was just laid off 2 weeks ago, and the manner it was done was VERY shady...I'm still pissed about that..
I also do some Website & Graphic Design on the side to help pay off my Rover expenses.
I have experience in advanced mechanical cad design w/ AutoCad and Cable design w/ Microstation. I guess you could say I'm a CAD dork....a really big one..

If you go bankrupt, I will take that boat off your hand.

Oh -- I didn't want to pay for it, I just would take it off your hands, so you wouldn't be obligated to take it to the lake, ya know being bankrupt and all.
