It's very respectable and important work, nurv. Props!

My job is kinda hard to explain because it does so many things.

I work at a PMEL (Precision Measurment Equipment Laboratory). Basically, anything that needs measuring in the Air Force, I calibrate the equipment that measures it. That includes electronics- volts, amps, ohms, watts, radio frequency, and rf power. It's also physical/dimenstional things like weight (We actually have a machine that if you weigh a piece of paper, then write your name on it, it can tell the difference in weight from the ink), length, volume, torque, speed, force, etc.

My job can be tedious because everything is so anal, haha. But when you think about it, there isn't anything that can't be traced back to my job. Lol, someone told me that, and I was sure I could think of something that didn't need all those bs measurments to be accomplished, but I really couldn't think of something. So go ahead and give it a shot (I just know Patton will come up w/ something, lol)!

That's what my father (retired MSgt) wanted me to get into when I joined the AF. But I got into the comms billet.

I currently work for a telecomm company as a Circuit Designer. In laymans terms, we create CLRs - Circuit Layout Records - that shows how a circuit (DS0 thru OC48, etc.) will be delivered through our network/switch equipment to the end-user based on the available equipments in our inventory. Techs follow these blueprints to make the end-to-end connections.

I don't hate my job, just some of the "stuff" that comes from management...

I started working at the new Canadian Tire in my town tonight. I had submitted my resume last week and got a phone call asking to work last night. I'll work there after school for a couple of months until the store is ready to open. After that, more permanent employees will be chosen from those that worked while the store was being built and made ready.
I don't remember if I mentioned before, but I also referee soccer. The last soccer weekend of the season is this weekend and I have three games to referee.

I am a computer scientist. Currently, I'm in the software consulting business, but I am hoping to eventually get out of the consulting game as I am starting a new company.

The more I work w/ electronics and the more I find out that I don't know, the more I hate all those damn electrons, lol.
