I calibrate gages for an aircraft hydraulic control system manufacturer. I work second shift (it's a LOT easier measuring to 0.000005" when there's not a lot of people around to distract you). Nominally, I work 4- 10 hour days, but I usually end up with 50-55 hours a week; the job is pretty tedious, and because you're working with aircraft control systems (and devices for the space shuttle) you tend to be somewhat anal about how accurate your results are.
