What's your day job?

Sorry if this thread is a repeat. Looked for it and didn't really find it.

What is your day job? Bassist, something else with music, something completely different?

I have a pretty unmentionable job that could kill this thread before it starts, so I'll chime in after a while, if this gets any traction.
 
My day job? Sitting in a recliner chair like this one. Except when I'm busy relaxing.

Stuntcock.

Did I really say that? Just kidding.

I am a retired electronics technician. First job out of tech school in the 1970s was working on telephone central office equipment for GTE. Then on to troubleshooting very high-tech, (at the time) circuit boards for GE Medical Systems, (now GE Healthcare). X-Ray, and patient monitoring, ultrasound, and such. Did system diagnostic work on magnetic resonance scanners, and positron emmision scanners for medical diagnostic imaging systems. GE paid well, but sucked the life out of us. Did R&D, and field service on machines used to make integrated circuit devices, ("ic chips"). Did work on robotics and "machine vision" systems. I have also done lots of side work doing plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and mechanical/automotive repair. Also industrial electrician type work as an independent contractor. I fix computers, washing machines, refrigerators, furnaces and just about anything that is electrical, mechanical, gas, oil, or coal fired too. Check engine light troubleshooting too.

Now, I mostly drink beer, and have fun with the grandkids.

Oh yeah, now I also do sound for bands just for the fun of it, as a (money losing) retirement gig.

Maintenance man in a printing plant. :woot:

bobba 66. I did R&D, field service, QA, manufacturing engineering, and other technical stuff on equipment you may be familiar with. Does the name QuadTech mean anything to you? I've been in a lot of plants like where you work. Some areas are very hot, noisy, and stinky, and those are the good points of the environment.:roflmao:
