What do you do for a living?

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I'm a mechanical engineer designing Ion Beam systems in the DC area.
If anybody is interested, Ion beam systems are essentially molecular sand blasters that can be used
for etching substrates in semiconductor or thin film head (computer disc drive head) manufacture.
They can also be used to deposit very thin layers of material, again for semiconductors, thin film
heads or optics. They can also deposit titanium-nitride, DLC or any number of other hard wearing,
friction reducing coatings on metals. Mark my words; coatings are the wave of the future ;^).
Our main interest (aside from staying alive ;^) is optical coatings for fiber optic
communication filters.
When I'm not doing that I'm generally working on somebody else' Scirocco. Just can't get enough of
trying this engine management, or that suspension or this turbo and I've only got two Sciroccos, so
how else am I going to get the technical variety?
No kids, no wife......as a matter of fact nobody can stand me ;^) so my money's my own. Good for
Sciroccos!

dept of a VW dealership in Oklahoma City, OK.  On the weekends, I tend to work at a VW shop nearby.
That is where my disappointment called a 'pickup' is, among other sundry VW bits...

heavy and otherwise, Mark (Mardak) is a mechanist/mechanic, Tonnee is a Dad/student (IIRC), and
beyond that I don't know a thing...  What do you do?
