I am an industrial mechanic on big printing presses in a 1.2m sq ft plant. I see the new National Geographic as it comes off the presses along with quite a few newspaper sales fliers. I specialize in troubleshooting complaints to the most basic level and fixing things right the first time.

I'm a tinkerer too. Love to fix up junk and make cool things that actually work.

( But I'm surviving on my pension - so far, the Illinois government is now trying to mess with it

That and those dividend checks from running the Trivia game


Hay, where is my kickback?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that part time job/income from the TinBoats Trivia management - When I get my first check, I'll be sure to send you your cut BTW, how much a month were you getting for running the game????? Since I haven't seen a commission check yet, I assume they're still going to you????? I think you owe me past commissions - and a bonus for taking Trivia over for you??????

 

[Captain Ahab]

I have been forwarding those bi-weekly checks to your attention - you have never received them? You do live in Lealand, Mississippi right?

I spent 18 yrs in the construction trade back home in Michigan, moved to Ga 2.5 yrs ago, first job I found was for a race team, Money is fair, time from home sucks, seen a lot of places ill would have likely never seen. I currently work for a professional race team, and I am hoping to change up jobs in a few months to another more respectable team, Just waiting for the call back now, would be the highlight of my entire career so far.

I've worked in a paper mill for almost 40 years, done most every production job in there at one time or another, from raw materials incoming, to finished product outgoing. Ranchero50, some of those Nat Geo issues were probably on our paper. Been safety coordinator for the last 5 years or so, trying to keep 700 people from messing up and killing themselves.

 

[SVOMike86]

Gov't contractor building prototype communications systems for the military, mainly spec-ops and Dept of State. In Afghanistan since April, installing comms for US Army Corp of Engineers. Probably not coming home til Christmas time, contract is on hold, so I sit around, troll this site, go to the gym, and play Halo. Sounds like fun, but man I'm bored. Much rather be home with the Wife.

Full cool thread!

SVoMIKE, Awesome job! I know this job all to well! My father was the first to roll into iraq after 9/11 on the private sector and spent 4 1/2 years there in the red zone for our company that he runs! I worked for him although not over seas due to school but helped him with anything stateside they needed.

Right now I am a student as a homeland security major at embry riddle in daytona beach. Im taking two languages and also flying as well! Ive already been offered a full time job after college(next year) with the coast guard and have been told that the state department and a few other agencies are looking at me for a job! Very excited to follow in my fathers foot steps!

Keep the jobs coming guys!
