Absolutely...maybe even before she sings...

Ok so I thought this might be interesting, to find out what you folks do besides TTP. What is your current occupation? Do you enjoy it? If not, are you interested in a different job? If you are still studying (like school or university or whatever) then what job are studying for? Oh and if it isn't to much trouble then provide a small explanation of what it is you do...a person (mainly me) may have never heard of your occupation and has no clue what you are talking about...so a small short explanation would be helpfull.

So seeing as I started this thread I might as well begin....

Seeing as I am only 14...yes 14 to all you who were so interested in finding out, I cannot be completely positive that this will be my profession, as I am still to young to be entirely sure. However I am deeply interested in animation, and next year (freshman year in highschool) I will be taking animation classes, and taking the idea more seriously... when I am not on a TTP server I enjoy practicing animating on a program called Flash Adobe CS3 which allows for 2Dimensional animation. And will hopefully acquire a 3Dimensional animating program to practice on and become more acquainted with (seeing as most of the large animation professions are in the 3D business) Anyway enough about me... lets hear it from somebody more interesting than me.

It hasn't really been updated in a year or so, but we do have a thread for this one already: http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?topic=13126.0

Thought I'd drop an update for Ducky here since he was curious:

Last year I was a bartender and waiter for the Joe's Crab Shack on the water in my area, as well as a bar-back for a popular downtown bar Dr. Rockit's Blues Bar in Corpus Christi. Then, during school year, it was all studies. It's summer time now and I'm helping out my mother.

She's at a title company they just recently opened, and they could use some help. I just do data entry all day. Someone goes to the courthouse and scans volume by volume of title records. Each volume is saved as a single .tiff document. I convert that .tiff document into numerous .tiff documents, then go through them as if they were in a big stack, "stapling" each document (anywhere from 2 to 200 pages) within the volume. So each volume has give or take 100 document. Once these documents are grouped together, I then retrieve the pertinent information off of each of them and insert them into the computer. I've got over 1,000 volumes to do, and from start to finish, each volume takes give-or-take an hour.

I've got some serious work to do before the end of the summer!

Business Development for a small security software start-up in Houston.

I recently got promoted to Senior Software Engineer, mostly due to my workload and responsibilities being through the roof nowadays. I'm the department's .NET development expert, and as such I'm responsible for assisting the other developers with development issues they have. Additionally, I've begun organizing an internal training program where I will be doing small group session classes for development techniques and the basics and more advanced topics of .NET itself. As for actual code, I handle the data collection and processing services and applications for our product, as well as handling anything involving security and encryption, socket communications and component development (such as our FTP component).
