Who has the strangest job on AT?

[BoomerD]

I dunno about "strangest", but perhaps unusual for ATOT.

I spent about 30 years as a heavy equipment operator, most of that as a crane operator, and many of those working maritime construction, operating a crane on a barge on the water somewhere.

In my many years, I helped build nuclear plants in Hanford, natural gas plants in Wyoming, gold mines in Nevada, oil shale plants in Colorado, refineries, bridges, food processing plants, power plants, and much more in Kahleeforneeya.

Biggest crane I ever operated for any length of time was a 900 ton Manitowoc with about 350 feet of boom. Smallest was a little 7.5 ton carrydeck inside a building.

I've also operated bulldozers up to and including D-11, scrapers up to 751, loaders up to 992, and a wide variety of excavators.


Nowadays, I'm just a lowly bookkeeper in a small CPA firm...<sigh>

I do software/firmware QA work for a company that produces parimutuel wagering equipment.

 

[rudeguy]

I may have the most hated job on AT....I work in sales for a cable company. I'm the guy that gives you a hard time about getting a deal on just internet.

 

[Chaotic42]

Anyone doing anything *really* interesting can't talk about it.

 

[RbSX]

I work in the porn/adult manufacturing industry.

Does that qualify?

I drink from a fire hose most of the day. Water quality testing.

No, I'm actually a server tech, but it sometimes feel like we're drinking from a fire hose. 😀

Time to lay down the gauntlet:

previous job found me spending most of my work days inspecting mouse vaginas.

yeah, that's right: licensed mouse vagina inspector.

also saccing ~100 pups and various other useless (too old) mice per day, injecting ES cells into blastocysts, impregnating lady mice with my little Frankenstein blastocysts, etc.

All regular duties working as a microinjectionist in a transgenics facility.


what do I win?

well, to me it's all pretty normal when working in mo bio/genetics, whatever. tons and tons of people do this stuff all over the place.

But I understand that it sounds very strange with this crowd. :\

you're one of those NRC people aren't you? the ones who hound me with questions all the time.

 

[rcpratt]

I'm insulted. Nah, working for a utility licensing a new reactor. I bet I have to put up with more NRC questions than you 😀

 

[Sho'Nuff]

i'm also working as a surgical dental assistant part time cause i'm trying to get into dental school.

That's a hell of an idea. As a former motorcylcle accidentee I wish they had those when I was going through rehabs....Really could help with certain injuries and conditions like nothing else.
