We all figured there had to be one out there somewhere.
So now I can say "it's not rocket science, but I know one who does it".

IT Site Manager (Infrastructure and Application Development groups)

I came up as a technical type and was bumped up a few times to eventually manage the department. It pays the bills, but I actually enjoyed my previous positions more since more time was spent actually doing something productive rather than dealing with bureaucracy. I've been at the same company almost 9 years now counting some contract work I did before being hired so it may be time to start looking for a change.

<portion snipped>...And now I just stay home and take care of the kids. Ten year old twins and 7 month old Thomas. Oh and I should add Mark in there too.

Please take the word "just" out of there. That's a he11 of a job.

Please tell us though that spending time in the chat room with you know who has nothing to do with your 7 month old's name.
