I sell ambulances and fire trucks. The sirens go woo woooooo! I enjoy the biz, but sales like these have their majors ups :tspry: along with the downs :tif:. 95% of the time these are very complex and long term sales.
Edit: and exhausting
Wow, guess it’s time to update this…
Now working at Anastasi Trucking as an Estimator / Project Manager. We do excavation, underground utilities, paving, concrete, etc, For large commercial jobs. I couldn’t be happier with what I am doing now, company truck, phone, health,401k…
Making double what I did at Cortese, and still do construction work on the side.
I’m a developer/sysadmin for Our Hometown. We host sites and ad services for local/regional newspapers. I am responsible for almost the whole stack. Our sites are Drupal based, modified to handle our needs and scale with a number of custom modules. I also maintain our production CentOS servers that have been performance tuned.
I also developed an iPad app that we now offer our customers, one is currently available in the iTunes store. I’m in the process of developing a matching Android phone and tablet app.
I am an Account Manager for Rexel Electric. I sell commercial and industrial electrical equipment. I have been based in the industrial markets, but as of Jan 1st I will be moving to the contracting markets.
It is a pretty solid job with lots of perks, but in no way an easy way to make your $$.

Oh no kidding!! Every time you fill an order for Deltex Electric I’m more than likely installing what you send out! Keep those ridgid pipe orders on the light side! Shit is heavy!!
That is what I have been told, they have no boundary’s with personal life, I worked briefly with a former network admin/engineer from there who was one of our onsite Network guys at BCBS.
They are a huge php company, in addition they have a big Zimbra presence and I know they use Netapp.

Unfortunately can’t get you deals on health insurance.
Do you still outsource some of your IT to Inergex?
Yes, Yahoo actually purchased Zimbra in 2007 and then sold it to VMWare.
Yahoo uses NetAPP and Hitachi but I prefer the NetAPP support and hardware over Hitachi.

I do Certification and Accreditation of a variety USG computer systems. Initially it was systems that were in direct support of the war fighter etc for a number of years, then did some prototype/development systems(“secure” wireless, smart phone systems), and have just recently moved over to supporting the Forestry Service which allowed me to relocate back to Buffalo. Thank god.
