Phillip I had a young man working shift work with me who had a sail boat, asked me if he could use the lathe in the Mechanical Bldg, made special tools for his sailboat. My Boss asked me did I know that he was useing the lathe, told him yes, You want him to quit useing it, he said its your call. Told him he"s got his radio on, he"s a good worker and I can get him when I want him, nuff said. He eventually quit and is in the Carribean doing sailing tours with his boat, go where your heart is.

This is still a great thread-really interesting. Keep on sharing everyone.

Great story Bradley - sounds like he was very lucky. Wish I had supervisors like you.

I'm currently working for a civil engineering firm, providing software support to the state Department of Transportation. Prior to that, I worked my way up from a desktop support tech to a systems administrator at a local museum over the course of 12 years, and prior to that spent 7 years at a bank doing administrative work for the HR department and a short stint in the credit card fraud group as a business analyst.
And before all of that, I spent some time as an office temp, security guard, line cook, printing press operator, and reader/grader for a favorite professor while I was in college... Life's been good. :D

Started out machining, then went to work as a millwright, then as a full time welder. Now I'm a maintenance mechanic/ jack of all trades for a company here in east TN that makes catalysts for coal fired power plants. Been there for about 7 years now.

 

[protestantpiper]

Petes03, I started out as a machinist in Dayton, OH before I got laid off and decided to join the Army. Nice meeting you.

 

[petes03]

Protestantpiper, Good to meet you too! Also, I greatly appreciate your service. I went to shool for it a lot longer than I did any actual work. I still get to do some every now and then with my current job , but I also get to tinker with a lot more stuff now! Pretty much all the males in my family (both sides) have been or are currently in some type of metal working/ industrial maintenance type of job. It's in my blood! I could never sit behind a desk! No offense to anyone who does, my Dad went from being a millwright to a corporate anylist!

 

[protestantpiper]

Me too, my whole family were DELCO people down in Dayton until the bottom dropped out when the got spun off into DELPHI. My uncle was a foreman over at the Camaro plant in Norwood. Those days are long gone. Shame too, it killed southern Ohio.

Wow bigboi! That's a mouthful, impressive! You sound like a very intelligent fellow.

I work as the Head brewer for a mid sized chain of Brewpubs/restaurants in my home province. It is fun (most days) and I fill my creative needs as I start my products from scratch and follow each batch through to the tap. The pay is good and the benefits are great! :D

I also work part time at a large chain of outdoor retailers behind the gun desk. My main focus there, apart from customer service, is sales and seminar education of customers for pistols and shotguns. Its a sweet gig but this week is my last week working for them. Internal politics reared its ugly head and I refused to play so I tendered my resignation. No worries though, I have been approached by every one of the chain's competitors and offered a job. Very satisfying to say the least. :D
