Anybody else get into CMM accidentally?

redrocksand
Hey, newbie here. I haven't gotten to interact with many others in this field. I've lurked around the forum for a while though.

I was just supposed to cross train a bit during a slow period when work was backed up and there was nothing for me to do. At least that's what they told me on day one, the liars. Instead I ended up staying, taking the official training course that was conveniently scheduled for less than two weeks after I started in CMM.

Despite not planning to go this way, half a year later it turns out I really enjoy what I do. Has anybody else gotten here by total accident? Or did most folks apply on purpose?

  • It was a slow day, I was exiting the building and a lead hand asked what I was doing. When I said I ran out of work for O/T, he offered me some hours running a few CMM's to work down their backlog. 3 weeks later I was transferred to the department full-time, another month later I was sent to training. I've looked back a few times, but very happy to be programming which is something I wanted and was giving up on back in high school. I went from eyes on 'dime-a-dozen' positions to being a unique element in a manufacturing plant.
    I'm grateful to all the programmers I've worked with, every one of them has taught me something.
