I'm a student. Do you mind enlightening me on what the meaning of "Service Desk Engineer", do you work at a factory where you produce a special type of desk, or do you design them ?

Senior Systems Administrator. I can't go into the many fine details of my job since it requires you to have a SECRET clearance but I deal with Linux and Solaris systems supporting our companies proprietary software they use with Websphere and Oracle databases for the Army and DoD.

I'm more or less retired, but I used to work mostly in engineering machine shops: operating milling machines, lathes, etc.

I think you've already said too much, you'll now have to hunt us all down and kill us like dogs. Send in the special ops robotic ninja terminators, it will be a good test of their abilities.

Service Delivery Manager with Resource Management as a side role. What do I do? Well, I manage the delivery of the service. In line with ITIL and other arcane flim-flammery.

Currently odd jobs to get some money, but I'm thinking to get into publishing comics in my local area.
Publishing meaning to buy some already printed comic books for cheaper than cover price, and knock on a lot of doors trying to sell those and do that until I'm out of doors to knock on.
