It's been a while since this tread has been back on top.

I'm sure there are a lot of members who might like to know "What do Alfa owners do?"

I manage on air operations and ad sales operations for a video service provider. For roughly 20 years i've done this for a number of television networks or television service providers (everything from national television networks to local cable tv systems). You may be watching my work right now!

Veterinary oral surgery and dentistry. Mostly broken teeth, root canals, metal crowns, involved extractions, some police dogs, some orthodontics. Some more routine care for higher risk patients.

Recently retired after a long career in manufacturing operations, primarily supply chain management positions with some general manufacturing management and consulting thrown in. My last position was as Logistics Manager for a large adhesives plant. Now wife and I are working at settling into our new home.

You begin to feel as if you really know the other users on a personal level even thought they are hundreds of miles away.

One thing that I always wondered about was, what are all these people doing online all day long? Don't they have jobs?
( myself included )

So, I am asking the question:

What do you do for a living?

I spent 8 years working on alfas and 2 years working on saabs in Atlanta. Factory trained on both. Got tired of Atlanta moved to north Georgia then went to Maine for wooden boat building school moved back to Georgia. I now restore antique and classic mahogany power boats. Getting back into alfas after being out of them for about 12 years. Posted a couple of pictures of some of the boats I've done. Miss America IX the first boat to break the 100 mph barrier in 1931 and a 1930 Dodge boat.

Time to update as i changed career about 2 years ago now... I'm currently an estimator for a construction company, specialising in fire doors and steel frames (however we typically do all the doors, frames and hardware on a project).

We are generally only interested in jobs where there are 500 to 4000+ doors, so things like residential high rises, hospitals, shopping centers and commercial jobs are the norm.

The Sydney market is a bit slow at the moment, however Brisbane and the Gold Coast have a lot going on at the moment. Which reminds me, this job i'm working on isn’t going to schedule itself, so back to work for me…

I'm a short-tempered and impatient "Old Fart" at a small-ish web/ASP hosting company. Or so they say

I manager Call Centers. Not the ones you call into and hear a Pakastani saying "Thank you for calling, my name is John Wayne."

I've made my living at keeping Call Centers in the US. Providing great customer service, while staying profitable and paying the call takers a decent wage.

I've scaled down from the 500 seat 7/24 centers to a little one where I no longer need to work 60 hours a week and now get three day weekends. I call it my semi-retirement job.

Architect, with my own studio.
My two childhood experiences that made me want an Alfa ever since:
-Getting a ride to high school in my friends' dad's alfetta sedan going faster than I'd ever gone before.
-Seeing my first GTV ('72?)

My title is Associate Director, Regulatory IT Systems. What does that mean? I manage a niche product in the life science/biotech industry. Electronic document management and e-publishing is the focus of what I do as well as supplying direct support to the Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Development and Operations departments at a small pharmaceutical company in San Diego.

Direct response advertising executive - our agency creates and places a lot of the TV ads you see that ask you to call NOW - and I mean NOW. Anywhere from steak knives/gut busters to Nintendo Wii, Chase, General Mills, Phillips, and Adobe. We even worked with Billy Mays at one time if you know who he is. Our most recent spot has Ben Stein sitting in a park with a cartoon squirrel asking you to get a free credit report.
