What do you do (for work) when you're not riding?

Been a while since we did this, and with so many new members maybe we should give it another go...

I'll start it off...
I'm an engineer working in a little aerospace company in Sothern California. I'm the company's Quality Manager and I also work for the FAA, certifying parts for airplanes.

Next?

I work for Chicago Transit Authority (public transportation), 22 years as a bus mechanic.
