An Answer To Eric's "So what do you do again, Uncle Lee?"

Among other things, the thing I think I enjoy the most, (unless it is the label shown below) is that I take customer design specifications of how they want their labels to be formatted, design those labels to be produced at our manufacturing plants all over the world, and then program them to accept data from our Oracle database.

Since we use barcode scanning in our manufacturing plants, I also program software that links handheld scanning equipment to our database. An example of an application of this would be when a vendor sends us raw material, we can scan the receipt of this material directly from the receiving dock, rather than have someone write it down, take it to a desk, and then sit down and make keystroke errors when entering the receipt into Oracle. "Beep, beep" goes the barcode scanner, and you could train a reasonably intelligent orangutan to do it.

It's better than working in data processing in a meat packing plant.
