    Hospice Nurse. I care for the terminally ill and dying until the moment of death, pronounce time of death, and provide post-mortem care. We try to prepare the families for when death is imminent, and perform the after death procedures such as notifying the mortician for pick up of the remains of the deceased and preparing the body for transport.

    I play paintball to celebrate life and health, and to try to forget all the deaths that occurred the week before.

    I'm the regional coordinator over Western Africa for a development and disaster response NGO.

    That's where teaching, tutoring, audio teching, computer drafting, irrigation design, and well drilling got me.

    Probably easy to guess. I work at a design company doing 3d CAD design & drafting. Been doing it since 1997. Everything we do is pretty much a one off design. Has to work the first time. Everything from tiny tiny medical equoipment to structural steel for buildings. Molded stuff, machined, welded. We design it all. We used to do cnc rograming as wel but had a falling out with the shop we did it for.

    Of course I design paintball stuff as well for fun. And to fund my addiction.

    Mechanical Engineer by degree. Project/Manufacturing Engineer by trade. I work for a jet engine designer/manufacturer, figuring out how to machine, fabricate, bond, and assemble the items they design. I also work on overhaul and repair processes for parts that have reached a service interval, worn out, or been damaged in the field.

    Quite the variety!

    I am in industrial automation and instrumentation. I repair, calibrate, and commission measurement equipment and integrate it into PLC/DSC systems. I used to design and build CNC machines, and would like to get back into that. Board level electronics are definitely my favourite though, no money in it though.

    PHP and node.js programmer. Front-end stuff is my area of expertise, but back-end pays better so that's where I'm at. Would love to someday jump back into the bike industry though.

    Mechanical Engineer, more often than not I'm the guy that gets to do the fun calculations and analysis at work.

    I run the wire cutting department in a shopping cart factory. I also order raw material, do inventory control, drive forklift, and whatever else they think I need to do at that particular time.

    i'm also the only one in the plant that is willing to be negative about a great many things including working 84 hours a week just to try to fill the order of ONE customer especially when management spends all their time griping about overtime and low profit margins then they do the above and loose most of their profits on the order.

    in case you havn't picked up on it I have something of a bad attitude about the place.
