What is your job title?: Project Manager/Office Manager/Treasurer

Where do you live: Hollywood; Runyon Canyon
Where do you work:  All of Los Angeles
What is your job title?: Actor
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: I have two jobs.  Working on finding work and actually working (acting).
Anything else of importance we need to know about your job or what you do?: Getting into character is tough.  Creating a backstory that you can convey through the camera lens and move the audience is extremely tough.  All I can do is perform and everything else is completely out of my hands when it comes to Casting Directors, Directors, Producers, Studio heads, Marketing Executives, etc making the decision on whether I get a role or not.

I also have managed to do impressions of every person of PCTI.  THAT'S FUCKIN' ACTIN'.

Name: Scott Andrew Donley
Where do you live: Neenah, Wisconsin.  30min South of Green Bay and 90min North of Milwaukee and Madison.
Where do you work: Kimberly-Clark Corportation in Neenah, Wisconsin.  For those that may not be familiar, we are a Consumer Packaged Goods company.  A few KC brands include -- Huggies, Kleenex, Cottonelle, Pull-Ups, Depend, Viva, Scott Extra Soft and Towels, and multiple Kirkland Signature brands (shout out to all Costco shoppers).
What is your job title?: Sr. Production Planning Specialist - Infant Care
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: Bullet Points!
·  Owner of 12wk to 6mo production planning horizon, providing production scheduling direction to 6 tactical indirect reports for all Huggies Supreme, Huggies Pure & Natural, and Kirkland Signature diapers -- Krow, we'll talk about what you need to purchase at a later date.
·  Manage inventory and SKU (or Stock Keeping Unit for the non business folks) mix for North America to hit 2.2 billion dollars in sales and 10 million in operating profit, with a cost savings objective of 3 million in 2013
·  Bored Yet?
·  Manage production cycle time and asset utilization accross three mills and 12 assets.
·  I'm assuming maybe half the group has a better understanding of what I do now.  And I did my best to keep it high level.
Anything else of importance we need to know about your job or what you do?:  If anyone actually wants to know more, I'd be happy to indulge them in their attempt at suicide by boredem.

Name: Wes Murray
Where do you live: Martinsburg, WEST, by god, VIRGINIA
Where do you work: Macy's Logistics, Martinsburg, WV
What is your job title?:  Beauty Operations Manager
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: I manage a team of 49 associates that are responsible for shipping Macy's .com orders (think Amazon). I listen to people bitch and moan about having to hit productivity numbers, think of new ideas to improve productivity, set schedules, correct clockings for pay, and most of all get bitched at for the incompetency of the other managers around me. Can you tell I have hated my job for the past 6 months?
Anything else of importance we need to know about your job or what you do?: [No answer]

Name: Jeff Sabin
Where do you live: Plano, TX
Where do you work: An undisclosed national bank
What is your job title?: Correspondent Banker
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: What that means is that I make loans to our bank customers, not individuals. So if a bank wanted $50M to make mortgage loans or car loans, they would come to us to get funding for it. My primary responsibility is to be a relationship manager for our bank customers in my sales territory. An easy way to think about it is that I sell money. I work in Dallas.
Anything else of importance we need to know about your job or what you do?: [No answer]

Name: Benjamin Wilson
Where do you live:  I live in Atlanta, GA, in the northern suburb of Sandy Springs.  Roughly 15 miles north of downtown.
Where do you work:  PGA Junior League Golf.  Office is located in Norcross, GA, which is roughly 15 miles northeast of downtown.
What is your job title?: Don't really have one, as I am a master of all things.  If I had to have one, I guess you could say I'm a Regional Manager...I do a jumble of different things.
Give us a day to day breakdown of what you do: As mentioned, I do a bunch of different stuff.  For 2013 season, it looks like this:  October 2012-March 2013, essentially I am a salesman/recruiter.  Traveled a few times to different shows/conventions to talk about the program and recruit facilities and their golf professionals to hop onboard and have a team(s) of kids to compete in a local league.  April 2013 I will be tying up recruiting and beginning to shift into event management mode, as I start to place my people into leagues and get each league on the same page to get the season underway.  May 2013-mid July 2013 will be full on event management, as I'll be administering each of the leagues/regions I've been given and making sure each league runs smoothly (will be GA, NC, SC, and a few other areas which are TBD that I'll be given).  Mid July-end of August 2013 will have me traveling to various City/Sub-Regional/Regional championship sites to run each event.  September 6-8, 2013 will have me helping run our National Championship.  Once that's over, the cycle pretty much starts again.
On top of this, I manage the logistics of our materials, I develop the intra-office spreadsheets and documents, I am the liaison between our Creative and the office, and I do inventory control.
Anything else of importance we need to know about your job or what you do?:  No, think that about covers it.

I also work two other days during the week, typically Wednesday and Thursday. What I do on those days varies depending on what's going on. Often times I wind up anchoring on one of those days, too. Otherwise I'm either at sporting events or working on stories about local athletes, teams, etc. About half the time I do my best Deuce Hite impression and shoot my own video, the rest of the time I work with a photographer. On the days I anchor I'm responsible for choosing what I'm going to put in the show, writing the scripts and editing the video.
