Night Crew check in v2.0

[GilpinGuy]

So, who's up?!

Me

[ChunkyMonkey]

I'm a Telescope Operator. Its the best job ever! I work 8 nights per month. Sure, in the winter time the nights can be 16hrs (from starting work to heading to bed), but the amount of free time I have is awesome.

Whoa.. in my line of work, I get to meet so many different folks in different position. Never once met a telescope operator.

Just made the midnight run to Wendy's... Ok so it was a little early to call it the midnight run, but seems like I have made the run a million times.

It's not even midnight and you're posting as "night crew"

Sweet job, What kind of telescope, radio or optical? What size?

Well, technically for me its about noon, but I posted because its night time and dark out. :P

Pretty cool! Meet someone new everyday. So what do you do that you get to meet so many different folks? In my free time, I'm going back to school to pickup another degree: Mechanical Engineering.

Optical, 2.5 meter telescope. You familiar with telescopes?

A little, But knew lots of hardcore telescope people when I was doing an internship at NASA back when I was going to ERAU in Daytona.

Yea, NASA tends to draw the crazies

Seriously though, I think I would love to work for NASA. I could also hate it too, I've heard there is too much red tape to get through to get anything done (from an engineering standpoint).
