I work on dem fancy flying machines

That's most surprising.  Perhaps it is just me, but your posts didn't fit the profile of a flight attendant.  You just never know.

 

I keep the parts on them spinning together in a cohesive manner.....

That .gif is so high-res I could cry tears of joy.

It's not really a secret what I do. After a few years of giving toys to people like Jacob in the media (and groaning when he and his ilk broke them), I now lead the strategy behind the toys' development, packaging, and pricing. It's challenging, but it's an incredible gig. I'd do it for free, so the fact that they pay me and give me cars to drive is icing on the cake.

Speaking of cars, I rarely drive the same one two nights in a row. This includes competitor trades, which are a blast. Last week I had a Fiesta ST, on the weekend I had an Acura MDX Elite, and in the next few weeks I'll have an MX-5 and Lexus IS350 F-Sport. We trade our vehicles with our counterparts at these manufacturers so we can assess each others' products. Of course, there's also lots of Hyundai seat time. In the past 5 years I've driven over 150 different models (I keep a list).

I take care of the automotive battery biz at one of Canada's major retailers. It pays the bills an is very rewarding at times, but it's a lot of hard work and stress.

I also write reviews for a certain online magazine.

And do my best to maintain my fleet of old cars, lol.

How can it be a challenging job - everyone on the forum tells you what to do, all the time!  Just follow our advice and all will be fine!!*

I'm the geeky guy, hunched over a desk, hacking, I mean solidly engineering software in the air traffic management industry. As you can imagine, I'm a laugh a minute and totally the star of the party! I do NOT wear socks with sandals. Except once or twice to take the garbage out. And I don't have a long beard.

QNX?

Rest assured that I push my silly enthusiast agenda whenever possible. Just last week I successfully lobbied for the addition of a new brown colour to one of our models for 2015, against fierce opposition.

Apparently I buy and sell crappy old cars for meager (or non-existent) profits.

I am a maintenance worker.
It sounds like "janitor" and the company treats me as such.

Beige?  Like a Corolla?

I'm in it as well. I do desktop support for a gov't agency.  Just hoping I can make it to retirement without getting assimilated into Shared Services, then outsourced...

I work as an engineer in the auto industry.  We specialize in optics for most car companies...headlights, tails, turns, light pipes....but we do some other non-lighting projects too.

No, honest-to-god metallic brown. Auto journo catnip.
