Need a new job? We need developers and producers!

Not at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind - sounds like a great place.

Just out of curiosity, are you using any of the JS libs for your DOM scripting - prototype / yui / dojo etc.? I'm working with yahoo's at the moment (YUI) - has some nice features, but there's a bit of a learning curve.

I am a full time audio/video technician at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Being one of the 2 full time guys means I spend most of my day fixing cables, burning cd's of recorded events, and cleaning up after all of the part-time Techs. I also spend a lot of time on the EA forum and play a lot of Zelda on our Protools computer even though it is a No-No.

We have 200 employees and have been in business since 1946, when my grandfather founded this joint.

Working with my family is a source of nearly undending stress. People htink that I get to slack off, show up late and half-ass all the time. The truth is quite the opposite.

It kind of sucks.

The story of my life. No matter how hard you work or how good of a job you do you will always be hated or mistrusted by the rank n' file...which has resulted in many confrontations and I even left and moved out of state for a time. Our shop never had anywhere near 200 employees, though. I can't imagine the horseshit you have to put up with.

My official title is..."Cablecast Team Leader", of which can eat a bag of dicks. I prefer " The Master of MASTER CONTROL!" or Lord Kingshit almighty!


I run the Master control of a local, non-profit, Television Station in Oceanside, Ca. Channels 18 and 19.

My job is to make sure both channels are on the air and playing the proper shows while monitoring my 2 lackeys to make sure they get all the
dubs done for customers.

Library Technical Assistant at the Valdosta State University Archives.


Do a lot of preservation, indexing, and web work. (Mostly php and CSS)

I specialize in AV and electronic records preservation.

It is the easiest and greatest job ever.

Everything we do here is hand-coded. Much more fun that way

We design and score standardized tests for public schools. The states we're involved with are Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, and Vermont. I'm a Chief Reader, meaning I train and oversee large groups of workers brought in to read and score open response questions - essays, mostly. I'm some sort of writing expert, I guess.

I was one of those readers for a summer. That job was torture.

I, too, spent a couple of summers doing this. I'm hoping that STF's duties are more fulfilling than mine. I hated that job.
