What do you guys do for a living?
...Or did you do, if you happen to be retired.
There are some amazing collections put together by the members out there and it made me wonder .... what do these guys do for a living??? I'm in IT. Boring. Kind of hard to describe what I do, but I basically make the enigmatic "cloud", happen. "Nobody understand the cloud! It's a mystery!" |

During the week I work at a paint store. It's alright. The manager, Dan Fusco, he's a good guy. Gave me a 4 dollar raise the other day. But at night, especially on Saturdays, I go into the city and I dance.

I've been known to film little kids with my camera...Some adults too...
I started Erie Highlight Reel in 2007, EHR is a sports media company...Filming sporting events, providing college recruiting tapes and probably no surprise to you guys, causing major shenanigans on all of my EHR social media channels, most notably BackBook. Believe it or not, that off color NFL joke was mild from what I am willing to post. Notable EHR Chest Puffing Feats... - 4,000+ videos, 2.7+ Million views on YouTube, most in my city, Erie PA. (Although, I haven't checked this in a bit, plus the news outlets don't go as hard on YT, so that helps. hahah) - Pitt Athletics confiscated our tapes and credentials the first game we ever filmed down there. (I love Pitt, all good now, great story to have been a part of.) https://TheyConfiscatedMyTape.com (Not responsible for where that made up link takes you. haha) - Erie Otters Chair Throw Throw viral video made it on HeShePN Not Top 10... https://youtu.be/wLnbpVLZLFU - Softball Punch video made it on MTV Ridiculousness... https://youtu.be/E6sZR5AKYzE - Filmed two seasons worth of Connor McDavid footage. (Should have had 3, but for some reason teams and people don't like when you talk smack about them on the interweb. haha) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis..._7IBI1wOV920AB - The most racist comment section for a video on YouTube. (Good God, read through that if you want to see the dregs of society.) https://youtu.be/E6sZR5AKYzE Greatest Play I filmed: (Maybe not, but this is ultra rare. Watch it in slo-mo, dude gets stung. hahaah) https://youtu.be/noYOWqKrIFw Craziest Drunkard I filmed at a Game: https://youtu.be/rkI-e8gJfys Playlist of all possible EHR viral videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...BgIjZVM8csh0Bk I try not to actually do this anymore, if I can avoid it. haha Some games/events are great to do, but come on man, I can only film so many 5th & 6th grade girls basketball games...SideNote: Girls basketball is nothing more than flops, drops, and dives. I have video proof. No, I really do. I present you...The Epitome of Girl's Basketball. hahah https://youtu.be/cubBpaXvSGI I won't ramble on anymore, although I could...I have so many great stories of shenanigans I caused on social media, it is ridiculous...If you ask me, this is what made EHR great, the uncensored sports talk on the company pages, and the fact that I filmed the shit out of local sports... http://www.ErieHighlightReel.com http://www.YouTube.com/ErieHighlightReel After proofreading this, I hate that I put up mostly dummy stuff I captured of the sports world, not enough to change it though. haha In reality, I met a lot of great people and even a couple coaches that, forget the touchdowns, could change the world...I also witnessed great communities of people coming together and wonderful displays of good sportsmanship...And for all the haters EHR has, pretty sure there are far more supporters... |

December 31, 2011 I retired from Avaya Communications as a Senior Technician. I had essentially the same job throughout my career of 43 years with Southern Bell, American Bell, AT&T, Lucent Technologies and then Avaya.
I was in AT&T's computer group in the 80's and the job evolved in to installing, maintaining and upgrading servers. |
I make my living as a mutual fund analyst, and I also do Shakespeare/theater history scholarship and research in my spare time. I have a Ph.D in linguistics, but haven't used it directly in many years.
