I work in the Axle department now. I call it industrial mountain climbing.

I crawl down 10-12 feet into the Upsetter using the tooling as footfalls, everything is covered in oil and water. You have to contort yourself to get down to where the axles are made.

You're squeezed in there surrounded by tooling that's about 200F, steam coming off everything. Normally you spend 10 minutes down there refurbishing the tooling, but you might spend 45 minutes down there if you're having problems getting a broken bolt out.

Great pay though.

You = :evil: We just had a Sarbanes Oxley audit a couple months ago. They're not quite as much of a PITA as the FDA though. We are FDA regulated because our product is classified as a medical device since it's used to diagnose disease.

I'm a software developer for Kodak at a manufacturing facility that produces film used to print digital images of mammograms, MRI's, CRT's, etc.

If it saves people from fates like friends of mine who worked at Enron and lost 1) their jobs and 2) their retirement income due to slimy, money grubbing executives, then it's well worth the hatred I get from IT departments :thumbsup:

Of course I use to work in IT so I know how they feel at the same time

I was just kidding with you. It's kinda how I feel about writing documentation and doing formal software testing. It's a pain, but I do understand the reason it is needed.

Software engineer. I CAN'T STAND IT! Got hired to do embedded systems type work. Now I do web pages. What a bunch of crap. It's like be hired because you can tear an engine apppart and rebuild it, then you are told that you will be doing oil changes only. IT SUCKS!
