I'm a Systems Tech at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, which basically means I work on just about everything computer-related except the exhibits (the staff's PC's, ticketing stations, cash registers).

This museum houses eight (if I counted right on my fingers) whole & partial aircraft, including a Ju-87B, Spitfire II, Curtiss Jenny and a Boeing 727.  We're also the home of the captured Uboat U-505.

CEO of a firm providing engineering, technical support and marketing representation to US and European companies that supply industrial products to Japan.




I listened to one of my division managers moan for 30 minutes about how hard his job was, how difficult the economy was and how limited his resources were. I told him that I envied him. At least he had someone he could complain to.
