    I temper automotive glass. Backlites/door glass/sun roofs/T-Tops/even Glass roofs-top of these cars is all glass.

    Very hot and noisy- We heat the glass up to about 650-700 degrees centigrade and quench it will cool air.When you break a car window and it shatters into a gazillion pcs,my job was done.

    Tempering glass makes it 100's of times stronger than raw glass.We make glass for: Honda/Toyota/Mitsubishi/Daimler-chrysler/Ford/GM/Nissan/Mercedes/Lexus/BMW and a slew of other manufacturers.

    Besides working for Ireland :0)
    Let's see I run a department that handles the software/apps used in the company. Starts with inception whether new app or enhancement thru implementation then post implementation trouble shooting. A lot of testing and troubleshooting.
    Do I like it well day's like today when I run a new buildfor an app that has some fixes and changes that supposedly was fully uat'd - regression included -by the software vendor and get 50 failures right off the bat it can suck. But's it Friday so TGIF.

    Sorry Ireland, but I don't pay into social security. The railroad has it's own federal retirement plan that only railroaders pay into and take out of. My wife gives you a little though...LOL (no dirty comments now).

    @jazo

    Golf shop, huh...we might have to get together. LOL

    I work as a quality engineer

    Good Points
    I have a laugh
    I get to do pretty much what i want
    Have a couple of good arguments a day

    Worst points
    Filling out 10 sheets of paperwork because you delivered 100000 parts to a customer and they found 3 bad ones

    And my all time favourite worst piece is a '5why' sheet.
    The component does not fit!
    Why - because it was placed on a tool wrong
    why - because the operator is stupid
    why - because we pay low wages
    why - to increase profits to the already supremely rich owners
    why - because he wants to buy another aston martin DB7

    ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

    We call them countermeasures! LOL

    They always have 200 of them floating around the plant at the same time.

    We had this one retarded engineer that had to fill out one as to why a pallet of glass got labeled wrong. This engineer-female-turned in the countermeasure stating the associate who tagged the pallet of glass was dyslexic! They threw it in her face and made her write it again, LOL. This engineer is one of Ford Motor's ex-engineers.What a f***Tard! She had 100 projects going on,and non completed. That's why Ford got rid of her.

    LOCOENG: When I was little,I thought my uncle worked for the train. I pictured him as a conductor. Years later,I found out he worked at Train airconditioning in clarksville TN., LOL. Huge difference!

    Choooo Choooo!

    I'm an elementary school teacher in SoCal. 16 yrs in, 14 to go! They can't come quick enough. I hate my job. It doesn't even closely resemble what it was when I started! But, at least I'm not working for Ireland.

    @saugmon

    LOL...your perspective changes alot when you get older doesn't it?

    @Jazo

    Yeah, I used to play 5-6 times a month. I was never any good, the best I could ever get was 91, but usually hung around 100. I've got to wait on my boy to get a little older and I'll pick it up again.

    Are you the BTK killer? LOL

    Anyone see that one? That's 1 worthless movie. It kept flashing back to the guy working in the butcher shop of a store and also flashing to a slaughterhouse. Do not get this movie,totally sucked a**! LOL

    Working in those places drove the BTK killer insane,and became a serial killer.

    AAAAARGHH - i hate the dentist - nothing personal, but they just cause you pain in the mouth then pain in the wallet LOL :)
    i guess they are ok when you have a toothache & the rip the sucker out! (especially when the tooth fairy comes & leaves $1) LOL

    a visit to the dentist is something we hate to do, but something we should all do for our own good.

    i was gonna watch that movie, i thought it would probably be sucky, now it is confirmed, one i will avoid :)
