What's your day job (2)

My job is very interesting, I'm an allround decor/scenery carpenter and working for the dutch television

I'm specialized in interior/furniture building and CNC mill operator, but also MIG welding is no problem for me, the only thing I don't do is painting.....
So you can say that I have to be a sort of "MacGyver", I must be able to sort out all kinds of problems that can happen within minutes before a 'live on air show' (never leave home without WD40 and Gaffa tape!!)

But at night I transform to a playstation3 GT5 racedriver

I'm a professional retiree. But I was an electrician for 30 years before that.

Its all done in China these days thus the sea change 17yrs ago, even then, writing was well on the wall for volume manufacturing...

I'm a bit of a dinosaur. During the day I work on machines made in the 1940's - 1960's (not cnc's at all) but volume, like dorian-grey, but for contrast, and to stay relevant, I repair computers on the side and provide (rudimentary) web services and photography pro bono for some non-profits. So, the machines are quite analog and the rest is digital.

'Misty eyed' Bridgport, Hardinge, Herbert, Jones and Shipman, Ward. thems were the days Not that I miss the noise, or the mindless drudgery of hand loading an Injection moulding press with inserts for 8-10 hours a shift, oh no. Makes me laugh to hear my soft handed co-workers moan about being bored in the office

Vincent Sanchez, CRCST II at your service

I work for a major hospital system here in Houston, Tx, in Central Sterile, reprocessing surgical instruments. It's rather interesting work, but i'm well on my way to a computer science & information assurance major, so i can transition into the IT and network admin world.

I also run my department's database, ABACUS, which stores all of our count sheets, or recipes, for our surgical sets.

I translate English > German > English, mostly for companies' websites but also for individuals who need a document translated, or whatever they might need. This job requires lots of research, love for detail, dedication to quality and specialized knowledge in the domains one works in—besides the obvious linguistic skills. My previous professional life in Germany has well prepared me for this and I am enjoying it tremendously. As most of the client contact is conducted over the Internet, I can work from home, which the wife (and our cats) very much appreciate.

Would that be about the size of this?
