But, at least I have a job!!!!

thats a neat job! we just bought a paint robot for the shop..I swear it has a mind of it own..sometimes it will just go nuts and paint all sorts of weird designs on cylinders..I think it wants to be an artist


Maybe it just needs my special touch! I spent quite a few years on paint robots, some people call me an expert on them, I just say "experienced"! Well experienced, many darned years experienced, Gawd I am beginning to hate these things experienced..........
Seriously, if you need some insight on these things, drop me a line!

After 15 years in the chimney business I recently changed jobs. Now I do installation and maintenance of supply and storage systems for cryogenic fluids. Such as Liquid Oxygen, Argon, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc... Very cool job with a fantastic company. Quite a change from making fire. Now my medium is 300 below zero. We primarily service industrial manufacturing, labs, and healthcare facilities.

I am a retired Federal Civil Service worker, Production Controller, System Analyst, Transportation Manager.
I am also Semi-Retired Accounting / Payroll / Field Manager for my son's Home Building bussiness. Semi-Retired means I do the work I just don't draw a paycheck anymore.
I am getting ready to go to work part time at a local AutoZone.
I also repair computers on the side.
Beautiful wife of 38 years, 3 great Sons, 3 Grandsons, 1 Granddaughter.
And with all of this I still find time to Metal Detect.

I've been driving trucks for the past 30 years. Got laid off last November and haven't been called back yet. They are saying early May will be the call back. I've tried applying to more places than I can count but nobody is hiring in this bad economy. I'm hoping things turn around so I can get back to work.

[stangthang]

wow, some great jobs out there!!... I was doing accounting- mostly bookkeeping for a small non-profit family organization for low wages and no benefits. I put my six years in giving back to society, and now I am back in college trying to earn enough credits to test for the CPA designation. Hopefully, I will earn more, but will probably have no time formetal detecting.
