[BH]

Geographer also, specializing in creating Geographic Information Systems (GIS).  
Kory, my fellow geographer, what kind of work do you do in the field?

Ha! As you can understand, I usually don't mention GIS when telling someone what I do. It's a bit hard to explain.
We implement GIS for municipalities as well as full service GIS work involving anything someone will pay us for. A lot of stormwater mapping, wastewater mapping as well as stream restoration and various other odds and ins.
I work in the Louisville, KY area for what was a local Engineering firm that was recently acquired by an international company called Stantec out of Canada. Where do you work wharf?

Yep, I usually get a bunch of head nodding and blank stares when I launch into an explanation of what I do.  Been in the field 12 years now and my mom still thinks I "do GSI".  I was actually thinking you might be a GIS'er when you left such a short description on your post.
I used to work for a local firm when I lived in Wilmington, NC that did nothing but property parcel conversion taking hard copy tax maps and converting to GIS.  Have been in Athens, OH for the last 9 years working for a non-profit, grant/word of mouth contract funded entity that is part of Ohio University's School of Arts/Sciences.  We run the gamut, much like you, but have been heavy in hosting ArcIMS sites the last several years for local watershed groups, municipalities, etc.  
We've recently received some funds to do some raster modeling, which is a nice change, since most of our work and data is vector-based.  

Have you guys heard of a company called "3001 the geospatial company"?

Holy crap, other geographers! I am a GIS software developer for agriculture - most of our business is supplying within-field variable rate fertilizer recommendations. We used to be based solely on ArcView, but we have recently built our own proprietary system using Oracle Spatial.

it makes for an interesting life and career! good luck to both of you!

you got that right; the things you see and hear... you couldn't make this stuff up.
That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on this forum. I gotta go so I can ask God if he wants me to go to work today ;D ;D ;D
And not even from the clients. We had a youth group volunteer yesterday to help with some clean up/organizing of a shed on site, and after about 30 minutes, the youth group's adult chaperones told the volunteer coordinator that they all prayed about it, and they felt God did not want them to stay and finish the project, so they packed up in their van and left.  ;D

unreal

;D ;D ;DDear God, Do you want me to work today......No stay home and smash beers :D

Sounds like you have one of the good jobs wharf rat! Selling your soul at a consulting firm isn't the best sometimes... oh well, we all gotta put bread on the table. We dable in ArcServer and IMS but that's usually our underworked programmers that deal with that. I know it's shitty for a geographer to ask a location question but how close are you to Columbus or Cincy? We have offices there...
