Day In The Life Of A Validation Engineer

Work is typically pretty boring. There aren’t a lot of things that interest me on a personal level in my day to day duties.

Example: I’m writing an SOP (standard operating procedure) for the operation of a pure steam generator. Here is a sample. “Press the Auto key. If the chiller control calls for cooling and all safety interlocks are closed, the unit will start. The compressor(s) will load and unload in response to the temperature of the leaving chilled water temperature…”

But every once in a while I find a gem: “NPSH can be defined as the head that causes liquid to flow through the suction piping and finally enter the eye of the impeller”

I will be the first to admit that my mind is pretty much constantly in the gutter, but it doesn’t take much of an imagination to find that one funny.

One time in QA, someone was trying to indent with the space bar instead of the tab. That was pretty funny.
