"horological conservator of Windsor Castle" - what an awesome job! Seriously, I feel like I should have tried harder in my youth to find some super obscure but interesting job.
> When he's not changing the time, Fjodor's job includes spending one full day a week winding up the mechanical clocks to keep their pendulums swinging.
> The rest of his week is spent in his workshop servicing and repairing clocks, many of which are 200 to 300 years old. When a part breaks or wears out, Fjodor makes a replacement using a lathe, a milling machine and lots of hand tools.
That sounds like an absolutely awesome job to me.
