spend my days in this old dump and i love it

 

[steven083008]

I work for a company designing water treatment facilities. I make CAD models and drawings of things like this. This is a poop dryer. It takes sludge from other treatment process and dries it out so it can be used as fertilizer, burnt in the dryer to dry other poop, or taken to a landfill, etc.

 

[Iseman]

I'm retired from the military and now I have to work for a living. My office is mobile, and I'm gone alot, but couldn't think of a better job. I get paid to spend my time in Cabo, or skiing in Colorado.

 

[PassnThru]

I'm a systems development manager for a large company. No pictures - but then again, it's difficult to capture the excitement and sheer glee associated with a job like mine with mere digitized photos.
WTH - it pays good.

That's So AWESOME!

I work in a cleanroom for a semiconductor manufacturer as an equipment technician. No pics because everything is proprietary and I'd like to keep my job for awhile but you can google image "semiconductor fab" and pretty much get the idea. Cool environment though, challenging and interesting. I get to work on some pretty crazy equipment and play with some seriously dangerous chemicals and gasses on a daily basis.

That's what I started out doing. Started in the biz before bunny suits were the norm. We used to wear lab coats, hair nets and shoe covers.
Spent several years doing equipment installs mostly in the litho area then the last 10 years or so out of the fab in management. Finally had enough and left the industry.

I know that place.....as well as the one where the rear half is put together before it gets shiped there....my software helped make a good % of those composite parts....

Downside....unless you switch over to the JSF....you may be out of a job soon....

 

[Sterff]

I work on a dairy farm. I have worked there for about 5-6 years. Here are some pictures...

Strangely enough there are no tools "laying around". As part of our contract every drawer in tool box is "shadow boxed". Anytime a mechanic takes a tool they must put a chit in it's place. We know the location of every tool.
But if I walk out of my office there's a B-2 Beverly Shear 40 feet away.

The tooling for the F-35 sections that Lockheed is being assembled in the same building. I should be working on that program at some point.
Who do you work for?

Is that the same plant that is on page 19 of the Proto catalog? If so, do they really use mostly Proto?

 

[Bjonesy]

I'm currently a C-130H Crew Chief for the Texas ANG as a full time technician, been in the military and working on these things for the last 10 yrs. Used to work full time for L-3 Communications in Waco, TX working on C-130 Compass Calls doing pre & post depot work. If you do a search for "Angel Flight" by Radney Foster the airplane in that video is my plane 1367.

 

[Boyd Who]

I own my own business doing junk removal, lawn mowing, snow clearing, pickup & deliveries, moving, etc. I live in a small retirement town and there are a ton of seniors here who can't do alot of this stuff themselves.
My mobile office...

 

[D9H 90V]

Yeah It's pretty crazy. I've been in it for about 7 years now and things have changed a ton just in that short time. It can be very high pressure at times. We are constantly challenged to better ourselves as a maintenance organization and that keeps us plenty busy even when we're not fixing broken equipment. What company did you work for if you don't mind me asking?

The work:

 

[swharris]

I'm a photog and LD for a network (they are pissy about naming them, but look closely at my camera) entertainment news show. This is me 4 years ago when we used to cover the Superbowl. Actively writing ideas with a partner to hopefully get out of the gear schlepping part of the business and get above the line and be more like Jack ;-) Hey Jack!


Goofy photos of me @ '04 Superbowl

 

[devilphrog]

I work for an "expeditionary airlift" contracting company as an Aviation Maintenance Instructor.

I too work in the semi conductor field. I work in CMP for AMAT in Hillsboro OR. Been doing it for about 6 yrs after I got out of the Coast Guard. Pays the bills, but the monkey suit is getting old. I would much rather work outside!

 

[JSGAuto]

[hilld]

I am the IT director of a software company. I used to be an Auto Technician back in the late 80's until the mid 90's.
