    Don't they have offices on Energy Park Dr (which I take to work each day)? My boss was telling me that his first tech job was for secure computing...and he had thought that they went under around 10 years ago. And then we drove by those offices! :)

    Hey I own one of ^^^ those. I know I just moved up in the nerd standings. Hmmm ME I think probably about the same as EE but the math minor moves you up for sure:laugh::biggrin:.
    At least we can admit we are nerds. So many people are in denial.

    Yea but mine is a '91 so a little rusty.... runs great though. Parked for the winter because I did not feel like dealing with the brake pad that sheared off the backing plate. Does yours have the pass through door from the cab to the box?

    I'm a software developer at a reinsurance brokerage company in Bloomington (office is about 3 1/2 minutes from Bloom Suby). Been here a little over ten years and can't complain. Work in a cube farm with 12 other guys in a relatively small room that everyone else has dubbed 'The Bat Cave'. This is due to the fact that I've unscrewed the fluorescent lightbulbs above my cube and several others from their sockets. No pics as there's no longer enough light available for photographs. :)

    wall of tvs, we have a relatively large department of actuaries that do some kinda cool things (hurricane catastrophe modeling and such). Not sure we have any openings currently, but if you're serious I can keep an eye out for you. Company name is Benfield - I think they post on Monster.com.

    I was a consultant in global services...left the consultant lifestyle in 2002. There were some pretty sweet perks that came with that job, but travelling 48 out 52 weeks a year was just a bit much. Most of my work, when not travelling, was out of the house. But when I was in the office it was down at the US Bank Building. Where are you located...and what are you currently doing there?

    Same here, though I'm down in Rochester. Just got psuedo-transferred too, so I'm now I'm working with the IBM Director build team out of Raleigh. Should be a nice change of pace until I'm done at the end of the year. Always good to be working on a product that quite a few people are familiar with. Especially since the product I used to build (Virtualization Engine) got ****-canned last year.

    I am in the ING building, 111, 100, and 20 Washington Ave S. 2nd level support (deskside), but that might be changing soon. I think I'm going to start looking for work else where. I love it here, but out-sourcing is becoming a scary reality on this account.

    I just took a few more pictures today. My building is located next to the new location of the Minnesota Shubert Theatre. It's been on Discovery, and lots of other TV shows (and the Guiness Book of world records) as the heaviest building ever moved on rubber tires.

    The same group owns that, and my building. My building Manager has taken me in there before, and I decided to snap a few pics this time. They're letting me take some of the seats. I'll be refinishing, and re-upholstering them, and putting them in my home theatre. A nice bit of history.

    Anyway, enough of my yapping. here are the pics. It feels VERY creepy when you're in there

    I wouldn't know that, I'm still pretty low on the pole.

    But you can check out the website and submit a resume. You never know.

    Holy Silent Hill feeling techy ... :eek3:

    Anyway, I work for Ameriprise. I'd post pictures but they frown on that. I take phone calls and get yelled at all day long.

    To be honest, I don't really like my job ... and I don't know if I wanna go anymore ... :roll:
