We never know where I life experiences lead us. ;D I started out as a telephone operator (Just like Lily Tomlin) then ended up running a material hardness laboratory . This was a very interesting job and one that not many people realize even exist. To briefly explain "All" material , metal, plastic, rubber, glass have a certain hardness level that must be met in the production process. I ran the lab that made the industry standards for the country. Our job was was to insure that the metal used in that dental pick didn't break off, or that the rubber on your sneaker didn't fall off, or that bubble gum wasn't tough. We were an intregal part of almost every production manufacturing company. After working there for almost 25 years , I now enjoy this peaceful life in The Villages fully assured that all material hardness issues are in good hands.
