Well, I spent four days at Rudolph Foods in Lima, Ohio, where they make pork rinds.
You could smell the stuff everywhere, and the floors were permanently slippery because
of the grease buildup, even though they were mopped twice a day. Gross...

Seven years ago I was offered an Oracle DBA job at a chocolate factory and
turned it down. (Please don't tell Rachel, she already thinks I'm crazy.) I
had two simultaneous offers for the same salary and took the one closer to
home. While on the interview they gave me the full tour of the factory
starting with the bags of cocoa beans on the docks. The smell was
intoxicating and even wafted into the office area where I would have worked.
They had unlimited stashes of chocolate in every cubicle. I asked the
employees if they ever got sick of chocolate and the answer was a resounding
NO. Now my kids will never forgive me for not having taken the job at the
chocolate factory.
This begs the question... Where and what are some of the most interesting
Oracle DBA jobs out there? I heard of one deep underground at a mining
operation in the middle of the Nevada desert. Database is a basic technology
that can be applied to just about any business anywhere. Any interesting
stories? Personal experiences?
