What do you do for a Living?
| 
Dec 3 15:12 UTC 1995 |
*What do you do for a living?*
I am always facinated by what others do for a living. I thought we could
share our careers, occupations, or even our future career goals here. Since
I entered this item I will start by saying that I have worked in the
Corrugated Container Industry for about 7 years now.. How exciting!!!!!
It is really quite simple I take sheets of corrugated board put them through
a press print, slot, glue, and fold them. All automated of course. I am
presently trying to get myself into our companies M.I.S. dept. We have quite
a complex computer system in our plant. So anyways there it is....Who's next?

I work in Fuel Delivery Engineering. That's the design of Fuel Pumps &
Senders.
Re: #1 - Dan does your job involve the use of data to interact real time with
manufacturing processes?
Also, I may have the need to buy quantities of corrugated shipping cartons.
Does your firm sell custom printed boxes?

At the present time I do not work with the mis dept. if that is what you are
asking...We do use S.P.C. to chart the quality flow of our processes...
We can pretty much make and print any type or kind of box you want...
Bay Corrugated Container...Monroe, MI.
I am just a grunt on the floor right now....

Spc is Ok....but we are beginning to make the transition to I.S.O. 9000
Which means more school...I dont mind though, any free training I get is good
for me....
What do you mean by computer science John? Is it like programming?

Computer science is the study of computers and computer systems.
Programming is a big part of it, but the subject also includes
such things as computer architecture, design of operating systems,
networks, real-time systems, artificial intelligence, database
design and implementation, robotics, design of programming
languages, and the mathematical foundations underlying it all.

keystrokes.

Nope, The Donald doesn't have root access on this machine.
Then of course, most DOS/Windows people can destroy their own system with less
than 10 keystrokes...

uh i work in a small public library..i am an interlibrary loan person. I
don't know what this says about me but when I took it over in sept of last
year we had a total of 400 request for the whole year by December. Today we
had 866 requests for books from other libraries. I love reference and
research. The thrill of finding what a patron asks for is very wonderful.
plus I am learning computer stuff. This is the first job I actually love very
much. And i love the patrons so much i am a hugger so...some of the patrons
get hugs if they want one..or pats on the hand or arm and teasing and love.
*smile*..Thanks for letting me tell my job to you...:)

This seems to be a dead subject area so let's see if a little fresh input can
get some more responses here, or maybe the others who visit "Homme" don't have
an occupation to refer to.I am presently in between occupations at the moment,
but I do start at a new position on the 8th. I spent 6yrs in the Army working
in the telecommunications arena, a few years in Frankfurt, GE.(sort of like
AT&T for the U.S. Govt.) I worked by Dan's(bubu) side in the "box factory"
for four months,heard about the govt. taking down the barriers on the
communications industry, and decided to see if my experiences might transfer
to the cable arena,BINGO transfering of 1's and 0's are pretty much the same
just different information packaged within it. That's it for me...
