Hmm, some parts of my job aren't as fun as others.
I think I'll recuse myself from those duties.
I had jobs like that at Boeing and Emerson Electric. I loved my job at Tektronix. I got to work on some of the most sophisticated instruments in the world. Back almost 40 years ago I used a Tektronix instrument that measured electrical current that was in the range of atto amperes. I also got to make design changes whenever I felt they were needed. The bad part was Tek paid very low. Boeing paid extremely well but I had to put up with more bullshit than you would believe.
At Emerson Electric they assigned me to helping out some 19 year old girl with her senior project at Cornell. Her dad was the president of Rigid Tools. I had important work to get done on a military project that was very important in any battle of armored units. I kept putting her off and putting her off until I couldn't put her off any more so I quit. That was like jumping from the frying pan into the fire when I went to work at Boeing.
At Boeing, absolutely everything I worked on was due yesterday. I got stuff that started out due yesterday. Another problem with Boeing was I'd get onto one job and get about halfway done and my boss would tell me to drop it and work on something else. I could never finish anything until I started ignoring my boss and continued on whatever I was on until I finished it. All this while working on the most powerful nuclear missile in the world. Lots and lots of high pressure on military hardware at Boeing.
Airplanes were more fun. You got to work on projects until they were done. Also, the mechanics greatly appreciated out work. How do I know, I spent half my time crawling around every inch of the 747. As I did, I would interact with the plumbers, electricians and mechanics. I loved talking to those guys.
One time I figured out they were putting the wrong potable water lines in an airplane. I told the lead plumber and he said I was wrong. He worked on 747s for over ten years. I had worked on those planes for 6 months. The drawings were 'F' size and there were over 1,000 sheets. We had a friendly argument going for most of the day as we reviewed the drawings and crawled around the plane. Toward the end of the day he said "You're right. We've gotta pull all those lines and replace them." Nice guy, I really liked working with him.
Sorry, I can be a little pedantic from time to time.
