we still do the majority of our work on plates (mostly metal, some nylon now)

I'm the computer guy, I spend most of my time working in Quark. I've done a little bit of film stripping, but I'm not very good at it.

I have never had the urge to run a press ...

I honestly don't think I've had 10 distinct jobs yet... *heh*

Those were the jobs that stood out, I have done a lot more ...

Let's see... you got me thinking about all the jobs I've held. If I remember correctly there haven't been 10 yet. This is assuming you don't count all the freelance work I've done for various things.

1) Allergy Associates of Fairfield County (1988-1990)- general office gopher at my father's office
2) Strawberries (record store) (1990, for 3 months)- associate
3) Choices Entertainment (FYE type chain that went under) (1990-1991, returned for a week or two at a time on break from college in 1992)- associate
4) Fortuna's Deli (1992, summer)- cook, dishwasher, whatever
5) Rochester Institute of Technology (1993-1996 while in college)- Notetaker. I took notes for the deaf students in my classes. Jen hooked me up with this gig. It was great. I got paid to go to class. :)
6) Bryant and Stratton (1996-1998)- Adjunct faculty. I taught Illustrator, Photoshop, and Quark at this community college in Rochester. I occasionally taught a couple other classes.
7) Color Logic (aka Color Logic Digital Media, aka Color Logic, Inc., aka Dream Logic, Inc., aka CLI) (1999-2004)- Graphic designer, web designer, web programmer, CD-ROM programmer, retoucher, prepress, and film output. I kept doing more and more as the company laid off more and more of their staff. When I joined there were 64 employees. When I left there were 17, including 4 salesmen who couldn't sell (one could), and a boss who was the walking incarnation of the pointy haired boss from Dilbert.
8) Davids Productions, Inc (2004-present)- Graphic designer, web designer/programmer, CD-ROM programmer.

I think that's all.
