What do you do for work?

My 9-5 is working for a highway electrical contractor in Mesa, AZ. We build traffic signals and street lights. I'm responsible for all of the technology that goes into these systems including fiber optics, CCTV cameras, vehicle detection technologies and communication networks.

I've also recently started a small business doing wifi installations and upgrades for people who live in remote/rural locations and need to get wifi to their out-buildings or shops. I can also do these types of installations in RVs so you can share a single Starlink connection with your entire camp!
 
I have been in the Service Provider industry for Industrial and Commercial operations in the West for 25+ Years. Worked at Johnson Controls, York, Siemens. I now work for the large "Jungle" company running Facilities for our Retail Grocery stores across the US. I am starting a new company now providing Commercial and Residential service in the local River Cities, From Bullhead down to Havasu. If my day job eliminates virtual workers then I have plan B.

I work for a manufacturing company that's flagship stuff is airfield maintenance. Real fancy "pressure washers" that take the paint and rubber off the runway. Pressure washers that make upwards of 40Kpsi.. Our smaller stuff does parking garages, gas stations, side walks, etc.. Our company also does contract work using the smaller stuff to do race track prep. We prep all the surfaces in the U.S. for Formula 1. Fuel and electric.

Most people around here know me for my previous life working with Honda.

The week before Thanksgiving? Almost uncountable! I probably moved a literal ton in my 20+ years of grocery just in that one holiday week.

i was on the retail side for 22 years with albertsons until they sold the division. now im on the warehouse side, so its much easier by the pallet and truck loads lol!
 
I’d like to say I’m retired, but not even close!
For over 20 years I was in a management role for multiple Trader Joe’s. I then broke the “rules” and changed careers after 40 years old. I’m currently a Stage Hand for I.A.T.S.E. Local 33. I started out doing up and down rigging for live events like concerts and sports. Unfortunately my ability to communicate and direct labor moved me into running crews of carpenters and riggers. I primarily work as Lead carpenter for concerts inside of Crypto. com arena (formerly known as STAPLES) and the outside plaza/street directly handling labor crews. For a few years I also took a large number of electrical jobs that kept me working every basketball (Clippers, Sparks, Lakers) and Kings hockey games . I am technically fired every day, but I have been fortunate enough to only have to take jobs away from Crypto a few time a year.
I can’t get free tickets, but I am able to watch any game/event in the building 😁
