And I thought I had a cool job. I work in a small heat treatment factory and only in an afternoon shift (2pm -10 pm, with occasional overtime up to max. 1am). I work alone (boss leaves around 5pm), cutomers are scarce in the afternoon, and processes in vacuum furnaces last 4 - 8 hours. Furnaces are computer controlled, so I check them only from time to time, but when I do my paperwork I can just sit, wait, relax, watch TV, surf the net, even play games.
But ofcourse thera are also drawbacks, such as loading/unloading of furnaces when pieces are hot, and sometimes heavy. There are lifts and forklifters, but its much faster to grab a 30 kilo piece of steel and heave it to another loading basket, than to wince around it with a lift
