I work for a gas supply warehouse filling oxygen, acetylene, helium and nitrogen cylinders. I also pressure test them and re-certify them for use after the cylinders pass their life expectancy. So anytime you see me at work, chances are I have gas!

What do you do for a living ?

Lot of talent here on FTE. Had to retire in 95 after 35 yrs in specialty sheetmetal construction (includes 4 yrs w/USAF 63 to 67 working w/special metals). Started as helper, served two appreticeships plus specialty schooling. Worked on old buildings repairing & replacing worn out metal. Now it would be called "Historical Restoration". We called it doing it the way it was built originally. Never looked at it as work but as a challenge to make it as good or better than it was when new. Loved the views from tall buildings and steeples. 
Last 13 yrs I have learned to slow down and enjoy life one day at a time.

i work in a foundry, we melt down metal (copper, aluminum, and brass mostly) and make stuff out of it. We make a lot of different stuff. One day we could be making street light poles and the next day engine parts. Buy we mostly make water pumps (not for cars).
