What do you do for work?

After market means all 'non complete bicycle' parts. So when you go into a shop to upgrade your Marzocchi fork, I probably was involved somewhere in the channel of getting them to the retailer. I oversee the buying of 9000+ skus for a distributor.

I thaught you worked for Santa Cruz?
BTW Bring one of those 29" out to JV this weekend for me to try.
;)

i know, i only left in 2003
 
I work for the good old Chrysler corperation (dodge, chrysler, jeep). I fix all the broken diff's, and burnt up transmissions....Job security!
 
Im lookin to join the electrical union...Just not too many union companys in this valley though....
 
I do page layout and graphics for print. Official title is "production artist" (it's sorta like graphic design).

I layout training (leadership/managerial, team building, etc) materials on the computer.

:geek:
:compwork:
 
I'm a 3d Graphic Animator for a DOD contractor. I make models and animation for computer based training and simulations for the navy, marines, uscg, and civilian aircraft.

My job is interesting, to say the least.
 
generally im a special inspector on construction sites, like concrete inspection, rebar, masonry, epoxy, but bolting connections and mechanical anchors are my specialty.
but im sure "silver ax" would call me a "construction cop".
i used to build rice rockets engines,
i also worked in aerospace R & D company as a assembly tech on the predator uav and the helicoptor version, the a 160 hummingbird, until the prototypes were complete.
i will still do "3rd party mechanical inspections" as an indepedent contractor on odd assemblies, and "consulting" when it comes to assembly
basicly im a hands on paper pusher.

I have a few buddies that work for Aeroenvironment in Simi, they design and build UAVs, one is a composites specialist and the other is a test pilot/training for the end users, US military mostly.
 
I tell wrenches where to go, and what to do. After working what seems like 100 years as a mechanic, I'm in management at OCTA, keeping those buses on the road. Although it's a fun job, it sometimes gets a little frustrating working with all those UNION employees!

They should be louder and the horse dead-er.
 
I'm an Authorized Field Specialist. At least that's what my badge says. I look at cars all day.
 
I am a sales and marketing manager.
The company I work for manufactures webbing and braided products. I work for the value added division which takes the nylon webbing and makes dog collars, leashes and harnesses. We recently bought a company that manufactures surfboard bags, roof pads and soft racks. So basically I drive around Southern California in my XJ visiting pet stores and surf board shops and get paid for it.
We also do private label manufacturing for a company that sells accessories for Rhinos. We make soft tops, door nets, grab handles etc for them.
And soon (if I have anything to do with it!!) we will introduce a cargo barrier net for XJ's which will mount vertically behind the rear seat. They will prevent items in the rear from becoming potentially hazardous flying projectiles in case of roll over. The construction is similar to Nascar window nets. More details coming (probably not real soon tho).
 
I used to be an aircraft electrician on fighters in the USMC, then got a job doing the same at Lockheed. I became a supervisor and ran crews modifying special mission aircraft for a dozen years. I'm now in the program office of a very long-running aircraft program. Very interesting stuff, I really enjoy my work.

hahaha,

I work for the transit co. out in the desert as a maintenance instructor. I tell the wrenches how to wrench. Especially on the used OCTA equipment we bought. (remember the cattle haulers, Yabotherme?)
