What do you do in a workday?

[Goosemaster]

It really varies...

read and respond to client emails from the road or from home,
general labor stuff (assistant to the onsite carpenter)
pickup materials
demolition:evil:
drywall,
plumbing
electrical
painting
carpentry
help write estimates
give customers job updates
etc...


I do a bunch of thigns, and hopefully when we hire a few more guys (already done) I will shift to managerial type stuff under the head contractor such as accounting, material pickup and devliery, website adminsitration (already do it but out site sucks), tech director (ipsec/pptp vpn --already setup-- to access data from the road, rdp overssl)

1. Go down to the machine shop.
2. Talk to the eccentric machinist for a while, then do some fabrication (mostly aluminum) with his help.
3. Go back up to the lab and see if the doohickey I fabricated will work. Talk to the eccentric prof I'm working with, see if he has comments/complaints/suggestions.
4. Use a diamond anvil cell to compress yet another Inconel gasket.
5. Use the EDM machine to drill a small hole in the middle of the compressed section. This is where the sample will go for high-pressure stuff. IF the diamonds were lined up perfectly, it's a good gasket, if not, I just wasted my time.
6. Select nice-looking mineral crystals for the STP stuff. Take them over to the X-ray lab to get oriented.
6. Mount and polish mineral crystals.
8. Retrieve polished, aluminum-coated samples from other lab, put them in the mount, fire up the laser and get speed-of-sound data in 10-degree increments from 0 to 170. Give this to the guy who runs the model for fitting and fine-tuning.
9. Get assigned things that need machined -- new tilt meter, a way to hold a stand steady at any desired angle, a mount to allow the diamond anvil cells to be heated while performing viscosity measurements, etc.
10. Figure out what I plan to do when this job expires in a few months.

Lab tech, geophysics.
