I think there was a thread like this previously but I am unable to find it.

Here is an article about my work and the friend of mine that started it. Curious what other piping friends do to support TAD & PAD cures.

Well I was driving lift truck at a cat litter factory when I was one of a few who were part of 'restructuring'. I found a job very soon afterwards and I'm going to be doing what I like doing at home but on a larger scale and that's making sausages. Start on tuedsay and a little nervous, I've done 300lb in about 8hr at home by hand but never 400lb in about 15min multiple times in an industrial stuffer lol. A new learning experience for me and I'm always ready for a challenge.

 

[vlodko]

@cavendish Good luck with your new job!
I am thinking now if I really want to stay in the same area or should I try something what I like more? Similarly to you.

As have I ... spent the last 15 years of my working career in sales ... my most recent employer went out of business leaving me in a sort of 'non-volunteer retirement' ... the recession prolonged that 'retirement' to the point that it's beginning to look like more or less permanent ... I'd rather be working, but it's got to be the right thing or I just may stay 'retired' ...
