I don't like that song or Elton John, so pfft.

The tinfoil conspiracies still continue here 18 years later... was she pregnant? Did they have her killed?

Also yeah, Elton John old skool "I'm Still Standing" Elton was okay... but 90s Elton, nah.

ha, that's pretty awesome, Zade.
my mom used to listen to that song all the time. props on being part of the process of such a famous song.
out of curiousity, why the thread, though? did you listen to it recently or something and decide to share your story with us?

edit: just noticed your hashtag. musta been singing it in the shower? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

LOL I don't really know why I posted it. I was thinking about the various jobs I've had since I began my career and that was, by far, the most fun. I thought I'd share this one. We got to use a lot of acids. If youtube was as prominent then as it is now, I would have been posting videos of melting various things in huge vats of acid.

I wonder what the fumes from the nitric and phosphoric acid and whatever compounds created by the nickel stripping process will do to our health?

our electroformers did not have harmful emissions. the cleanroom was vented nicely and we had PAPR vent systems in our PPE. the only sketchy place was the reclamation room with the nitric. they had vents in the hoods but it would still sear nosehairs right through the PPE. nasty stuff
