CNC Programmer/Tooling Mgr
is my title. I supervise a few machine operators. Figuring out setups and designing tools and fixtures takes up most of my time. Trying to train lazy people that really don't care to better themselves. Not a high production place, mostly big stuff. I'd go somewhere else in a heartbeat if I didn't have 4 weeks vacation.

Hey Twist,
I know this is going to make your day, and yes, I do wear them under my trousers.
Like you guys in the frozen North.
I just don't wear the black high-heels out of the house anymore.

The company builds concrete pumping equipment and enviormental plants. (sludge pumping). The parts are large, tons in some cases. The big machining center we have has 84 feet of travel on the "X".
Someone moved our cheese to Germany, Austria and Brazil. So now we are doing smaller jobber type work for the enviormental division. Nothing too exotic except for the materials. The machining itself is pretty basic, boring, tapped holes, facing etc.

Lighting design, live audio, stagehand (IATSE local 13). Plus, I build guitars and do (some) studio engineering. I would like to do more studio work, but where does one find the time.

And What Do You Do For A Living?
Mechanical Design Draftsman.
I am the company's drawing office. I also am the company's all-knowing expert:
"How do I attach a photo to an e-mail?"
"How do I show this curve on the secondary axis?"
"Why doesn't this column add up properly"
"How do I make line this bold?"
"How do I download these photos from the digital camera?"
"Can you send a machining drawing for quotation to..."
"What material did we cast that last impeller in?"
"How do I work out velocity in a cooling shroud?"
Give me a break, please!

Diagnostic Medical Sonographer:
I do cardiovascular ultrasound exams of hearts (echocardiogram) and non-invasive vascular imaging.
Everything from premature newborns to the ever increasing numbers of centarians.
It fits if you think about it...if I could not make a living in making music I can still make one using sound waves in other artistic ways. Some of the acoustic physics principles cross over as well.
Piezo, compression, gain, artifacts, attenuation, noise, tranformers, analogue versus digital ....it is all used in both worlds.

Technical Writer, I think I'm the only one here. I write software/hardware manuals. If you have a Pro Tools system I wrote some of your documentation. I jumped ship to work at an internet startup for way more money, lasted about 2 years, got laid off 3 months back, and now I'm working for a network security company. Money is not as good but the job is way more relaxed, and the products actually sell. Still looking for that elusive audio writing job, and gently kicking myself for leaving Digidesign.
