Great signature I grew up with the original book collection that and Spy vs Spy
Unglorified garbage man. 5 years left to early retirement......
Used to make one or two line of code changes per week and writing reports about them the rest of the week.
Now, going to meeting and talk to people to buy time for my team, or asking around so we know where to change, or explain to people where did we change.
Embedded software and hardware can be hard to debug, and sometimes management want to tweak logics to get around silicon bugs, actually they prefer that than tossing millions of chips away and wait 6 months.
I hate meetings.

Retired power generation mechanical maintenance on B&W / GE units. Present for start-up on three units. Those units are now scheduled t o be out of service by 2030. Probably earlier due to EPA environmental regulations.
Do you enjoy it?
Yah_TahHey to you, ninuog
Yes... still doing it after 20 years
Short answer: herd cats, make my boss look really good, and count the days until retirement.
Long answer: a sort of statistical reporting. It's not heavy statistics, but a lot of number-crunching. The good part is that I've been working with my boss in one form or another for over 15 years so we work well together -- to the point where 99% of the time we know what the other is thinking or going to say. The bad part is that we're the only two who seem to know what's going on, and it's not for lack of trying to transfer knowledge/train new people -- hence the 'herding cats' comment.

Howdy neighbor. I live in Avoyelles Parish as well. I'm a couple of towns (actually a village) from you (Mansura).Parts counterman at a small but busy GM/Chrysler dealership in central Louisiana.
ps be nice to your parts people and never forget your WE OWE paper if you promise something or parts/service will hate you
Are you at the Bunkie dealership, or the one in Lecompte. There are a few dealerships in Alexandria.
BTW, I'm retired.
