but nice site lots of good info here and hope to keep coming back ..

[thedarkness]

They let you bring your toys out on the leases, I almost got fired for doing that.Then again we used to have more oil field related fatalities and injuries than any other place in north america.(Alberta)

I could imagine taking out your toys makes the 11+hour days seem a whole lot shorter.

27 - VoIP Engineer
What, more precisely, do you engineer?

I implement, troubleshoot, and prepare networks for VoIP. But that is one of several network centric things I do. I also install the equipment terminating VoIP calls; Cisco, NEC, Inter-Tel, etc. I work for a CLEC/ISP/Interconnect/VAR and am pretty much a general purpose network engineer. But I like the VoIP stuff quite a bit. Been doing this since 1992, NAVY experience excluded.

Oh, and I am 36 and have more certifications than you can shake a stick at... and no college edumacation AT ALL.
