Production Manager/Director at a small media outlet. Basically, we put together newscasts all day for smaller stations who can't or don't want to do their local/regional news themselves. If you live in Gainesville FL, Omaha NE, Reno NV, Boston, MA/Manchester, NH, my company is airing a newscast in your area. We also do Spanish newscasts...

tl;dr I watch TV and surf the internet all day

Technically my title is electricial technician but my company is small so that means many many things.
I do a whole host of stuff from maintain our network/in house tech support to design and prototype work for new machines to project management to PLC programming to graphic design and so on.

Basically half or more of my job is engineering without the title/pay (because while I have the experience I unfortunately don't have the degree).

I love it some days and hate it others. Overall I'm working to change industries or at the very least work closer to home.
Guitars:
ESP Eclipse, JR Tele, Gibson LP Tribute, Gibson Government Explorer S I/II, Yamaha FGX830C, Balaguer Goliath, Squire Jazz Bass
Maps:
Egnater Armageddon, 5153 50W Stealth, Quilter, Ashdown RM500
Cabs:
Bogner 4x12, Bogner OS 2x12, Randall MTS 2x12, Eden D410XLT
