Where are you from, what do you do?

[Rubes]

This is a cool thread. lots o cool sounding jobs. Some of you guys probably use the stuff we make. I'm Rubens, just outside of Chicago, and am a manufacturing engineer at Honeywell Analytics (formerly Zellweger Analytics, and before that MDA Scientific). We manufacture toxic gas monitoring equipment used in the semi-conductor, gas and oil industries, and anywhere else gas detection is needed for life safety or process control. I've been on the manufacturing end now for about 5 years, and was in R&D for 12 years before that. No wife, no kids, no GF...just spend all my money on my 10 dependents known as cars.
