Well, I'm a design engineer for a company that manufacturers underground mining equipment. My average day tends to be reviewing and modifying a few CAD drawings, following up with a couple phone calls and texts, then sending a small handful of emails. Done by lunch at the latest 99% of the time until we have a new equipment delivery/installation to prepare for. No complaints at all.

I live in Southwest Idaho. I work as a machinist at a job shop. I program, set up, operate, and train the FNG's on CNC Swiss machines. I also program for the standard lathes also. I end up making a whole bunch of cool shit.

I spend other people’s money (it’s harder than it sounds) on a private island in Georgia where people have their summer or winter cottage, we call them cottages because it sounds better than mansions.
