The ONSC "What I do for a Living" thread

[little_joe]

Rather than continue to post what we all do in the August Uwharrie thread, why not post up here what you do for living? Good chance for folks to get to know one another a little better..........

[shinton]

I do a few things, main/daytime job is here at the CPA firm doing taxes, financial statements and consulting.

We spun off a 2nd company that is a Quickbooks & Computer consulting company that is called TriadHelpDesk.com There are 3 other partners besides myself in that.

Finally, the "play" money comes from teaching, I teach undergrad and graduate level Accounting courses online.

Hey All...I'll play too. I'm a High Touch Operations Manager (HTOM) for Cisco. And before anyone asks that is the "network communications technology" company, not Sysco, the food delivery company. I am a liaison between some of the top tier customers and the engineer support team. We make sure their problems get handled, help allocate resources for rollouts, and do trending analysis that helps the customer identify areas of concern.

Right now I'm in a crazy training class where I have attained my CCNA and I am working on my PMP and hope to rejoin the general public in mid-September. Did I mention life kinda' sucks right now????
