that's how I describe my job - rocket surgery.

Because I stack chairs, haul tables, empty trash and clean toilets for a living.

Very technical stuff.

It's a combination of "rocket science" and "brain surgery" and when one is a rocket scientist AND a brain surgeon, it is simpler and quicker to just say you are a "rocket surgeon".
