LOL. I had to open the food trays to rig with sensors for testing. I almost puked. (and I’m in the Guard too, so I’m used to MRE type food). The activator water packets where almost all made by my company and I designed the 2nd gen activator myself. 2nd gen won’t be out for a couple years though. ---

Its things like how long you can sit with your knees in your chest, how many days till you eat rotten food, how nice it was to at one time trust a fart, and what it feels like to be chased across fields that are important in todays job market. ---

I play records for drunk people…haha. Job is pretty cool but really competitive on the international level. Still fun, and I’ve travelled to some really fun places to play and have met some really cool/famous people along the way. But when you are your own boss, you certainly have to take it seriously. On the daily, I work on production work for artists that pay me to fit their music into a club atmosphere (I’ve done some pretty well established people since I’ve started producing officially this year, ended up with a track on a Kanye West mixtape), network, and work on my record pool which services a lot of the best DJs in the world exclusively. Locally the pay isn’t that great because the volume isn’t crazy, but I’m happy living in Buffalo for the moment since the living is cheap and I’m paying essentially pennies for a small studio to work on my music 24/7. Overall I’m blessed though, kind of a dream job to me. Name: Don S. Company: DSTAR Entertainment E-mail: [djdstarmusic@gmail.com](mailto:djdstarmusic@gmail.com) Site: [www.djdstar.com](http://www.djdstar.com) ps. no, I don’t do weddings unless you feel like you are my #1 fan and need me to make your night complete. ha ---

After Graduating for RIT with my BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology, I worked at a honda dealership detailing cars, Did that for about 9 months. I submitted resumes almost everyday on monster/career builder/etc. Then I landed a job with Automotive Robotics Inc. in Peoria, IL. They contract for Caterpillar, so I work for Caterpillar basicly. I never see my boss from ARI and I report Directly to Caterpillar. I make Maps for Caterpillar 15 Liter Diesels, We trying to get a start on Teir 4 Final Emissions right now. I would have never guess these engines have so many maps controling every aspect on them. I hope to land a direct hire after I prove myself as a Contract Performance Analyst. ---
