What a cool job.

What do you do for a living?

Oh, I get to play with dirt and sulfuric acid.

It's all relative.

I sit at a desk and make computers go so the science can get done. One day at work my brother was telling a co-worker about my job, and they were remarking on how interesting it must be, and so on.

Then the crew chief got on the intercom and asked if they'd mind concentrating on the low-level flying they were doing over Fort Bragg, since he had a vested interest in the helicopter not crashing.
