i work in a warehouse/lab type of atmosphere. people bring chemicals, i segregate them. i put them into containers (55 gallon metal drums, 55 Polys or boxes/pallets etc.) i use impact wrenches to tighten the tops. i weigh em. I move em around with either a forklift or manually via a regular drum dolly or pallet jack. yea i do data entry too.

I used to work at the end of an assembly line making windows, Peachtree to be exact. I put the bottom sash in, checked it and made sure it open/closed and tilted properly. I then attached foam boots at each corners, scanned it into a computer that printed out a ticket. Then I clamped the window into a machine that wrapped the entire window in plastic and affixed above ticket to it. Repeat 250 times a day for eight hours. Now I make 3x as much, doing 1/4 the work I did compared to the window factory.

I work in Software manufacturing. My main function is labeling. Printing and applying diskette labels, CD-R thermal printing, and other misc labels. But I also do alot of other stuff from duplication and packaging.
