I'm a grain merchant @ a grain elevator (no not the job where I ask you what floor ). The job entails a lot of phone communication with producers assisting them with grain marketing/sales. I look after setting grain prices at our facility, so playing with the commodity markets and f/x market is involved. I'm also in charge of logistics, which is basically making sure the grain I buy into the elevator gets shipped out quickly (by railcar or truck). It seems pretty boring considering some of the other jobs you people have.

I'll have to snap some pictures from the top of the elevator when things green up this spring. The view is really fantastic from 100+ feet in the air.

Its always very interesting to see where the people you talk with on here everyday spend their day.


Lots of geeks around here as well. Hopefully when I get out of school I will be working in Sunnyvale, CA for a little company getting ready to go public who has one of the biggest Linux clusters in the world at their disposal. When I was there over spring break, I was simply blown away. Only downside is they don't regularly hire new college grads. Maybe I can sneak in there somehow. If not I can always work for Cisco or IBM or BofA. I interned at Cisco last summer setting up test networks and showing off what their products can do to the big nerds of big companies. This summer I'm working with BofA doing other nerdy stuff. Should be great FUN!!
