Corporate communications/public affairs - Smurf 50% of the time, DJ36 25% of the time, no watch 25% of the time. Depends on which way the wind blows any given day.

Yes, my forte though is the service end, not with new installation.

I really enjoy the work too!

Service is less straight forward, more fast paced, more gratifying and rewarding as people tend to appreciate a solution to a problem more than they do the lowest bid to build something from scratch.

Most of Steven’s work is the same. Fixing people’s nightmares. He likes it, too.

Another 50-something here...

Professional Nerd/High-Tech Janitor (DBA & Data Architect).

Mid-90's Air King (w/engine tune) 14010 that I bought about six years ago.

I've been trying to get a Milgauss Z Blue for several years (guess that just aint gonna happen now), but the AD here in Mission Valley doesn't seem to want my money so I've been giving it to Grand Seiko and Breitling; who have been more than happy to sell me what I'm looking for in their lineups....Oggling an Omega Terracotta now.
