currently im working in a doctors office, though in a couple years ill be starting up a body shop with a friends brother and brother-in-law.
So how about you ?
Currently, I'm doing something I never thought I'd do: sales at CompUSA. It's part time, so my back doesn't get all hammered, but I was awaiting a tech position there. It's not looking like they want to take me out of sales now -- apparently, I'm good at it. :flame: So I'll be job-hunting again soon for a real job with real pay.

Hmm! More than once have I considered hiring an investigator. What kinds of rates do you have?
If the cops up here would just do their jobs, I wouldn't feel the need, but there's a rapist managing a bar here in town and I know he's going to be killing a woman soon. Three women have reported him to the police, but they've done nothing but question him. :flame:
I was hoping an undercover could get the job done -- do you ever do anything like that? Of course, being a woman might help. ::) But for argument's sake, just wondering what kind of cost one would be looking at for such a job. (And where are you from? Alaska usually has higher rates. ::)

I am a lobster fisherman.
I sometimes work construction when I score small contracts
I have a university degree though and have held jobs with Corrections Canada and Social Services.
But now I prefer fishing a few months out of the year especially when I make 2,000 bucks a day when the water is right. But there are weeks I can get 4 or 5 days of good fishing in. 2 months of fishing brings me enough money to survive the whole year. The construction work during off season is to buy those little extras in life. Plus it gives me a break from the lazy around all day all week long during my off season. I am saving up to buy my own equipment to direct and produce my own films. I also graduated from the vancouver film school and worked on a number of productions. I have a couple of scripts i am presently working and hope to make them into films within the next year or two. I am also writing a book, two years i have been working on my book, hopefully this winter it will be complete and then published!
My primary job right now is working for Morris Press publishing. They publish cookbooks and school text books. 7 am to 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday. My second job is at KFC, on the weekends, parttime. Busy schedule, but I'm making decent money.
I'm an auto glass installer.
If you have any questions about cutting out, or installing, I'll do my best to explain. :icon_smile_wink:

I think Alaska is a bit far for me to go. We do some workers compensation and some internal investigations for factories and busineses. We also do some general security and escorts. Your situation would be an expensive proposition. Full time long term surveillance aint cheap. I'm sure someone would do it for the right price.

I work in a body dispoal facili- I mean, a fertilizer plant. I blend the trace metal elements that then get mixed with NPK grades to acheive custom blends for crop/soil conditions. Can you believe they let a sociopath like me play with acids, flammable metals, and ammonia? No wonder the world is in such bad shape! In summer, when production is ceased, I put on maintenance and fabrication hats, too. Right now, I am trying desperately to keep the west end of the plant from falling down on top of us. The main supports are buckled badly from 50 years of acids, water leaks, blasting agents (to free up the storage piles when they solidify) not to mention the sheer weight of 400 ton pilings of materials. Steel does not appear to like micronutrients much. I have my work cut out for me.

I'm sure you've all figured out that my screen name, AFFLYER, stands for Air Force Flyer- which is what I do for a living. ;)
I'm a MC-130E "Combat" Talon I, flight engineer. I'm the busiest SOB on the flight deck; running checklists, backing up the pilots on all phases of flight, monitoring and working all aircraft systems inflight, being the focal point for any and all inflight emergencies and generally being the "conscious" of the whole crew.
It's the kind of job where if one person screws up or is just slightly behind the power curve- we all could get killed. It's THAT serious of a job. No room for mistakes.
We go to places you never hear or read about in the news, cause that's the way Special Operations runs business; the "Quiet Professionals". And wherever I would go, I could never tell you about anyway.
I wear this dark green flight suit with pride. And I've done so for over seventeen years now. I wear it so all of the left wing nut jobs who support the ACLU and terrorists, or moms who protest outside of the presidents ranch for their dead sons who volunteered to go into harms way, or liberals who bitch about our conservative goverment...all of them can keep on doing just that.

When I was growing up I really dreamed (well one of the things I dreamed about) to be an Air Force pilot.
But right now I work as a Lender Support Analyst and starting next week I will be back in college again to try and finish my degree this time lol. ( I go to school for awhile...do well...then take a long extended break). Once I finish I will have a Journalism/PR degree with a minor in music.

Very true. We take over many jobs where the original builder just disappeared. What problems exactly are you having? scheduling? workmanship? A pool is a very unique thing. It incorporates many different areas. , plumbing, electric, masonary, excavation. It is very hard to find a company who can arrange to get all these things done.
Most people have zero clue what it's even supposed to look like or how it's supposed to work. You build a pool and a good portion of the people you work for have never owned one. Try selling someone a car who cannot drive it and the last time they saw one was when they were 13. So now you have to explain the features, sell the car, and teach them how to drive......
I don't say the above as an indictment of the general public. But the lack of understanding results in many problems in this business.
GS, I would be willing to bet that one of the following is happening:
1. the process/schedule was never written out clearly and given to you
2. the guy who actually sold you the pool has vaporized
3. when you call the office, you get a machine, or talk to several people, none of which knows what's going on and you never get the same answer twice.
4 the guys who showed up at your jobsite to work resembled heroin addicts
5. The wrong materials showed up at the job and all the guys just went home and nobody called you to tell you.
check your pm's anyway, or call me at 631 806 0969 and maybe I can give you some info to get you back on the right track with these clowns.

I drive a semi truck for an environmental contractor. We do everything from chemical spills to hauling garbage to the landfills. I work out of the city of Lexington, Ky. My job is not very glamorous, since I mainly haul 22 ton loads of sewer sludge to area landfills. I also have a farm with a dairy operation, as well as tobacco and hay crops. You need a "public job" to support a farming habit nowadays, but this land has been in my family for three generations and farming is where my heart will always be.

Does anyone know how much a concrete cutter makes a year? Had a friend tell me the other day he gets about 50-60K a year and he's like 19 or 20
Sounds right to me, but my friend who did that for almost 20 years has no back left. He had back surgery to fuse 3 discs & now works for Walmart for about 1/3 the pay.Quote from: ChgrSteve67 on August 22, 2005, 04:32:00 PM
Anyone ever heard of Flying Tigers? I worked for them until FedEx purchased them.
I remember them, they had a cool red & white logo on the back of all the trucks with the tiger face. My boss had a H.O. scale truck on his desk I tried to talk him out of for my train set.Quote from: LeeBoy on September 01, 2005, 09:55:22 PM

Ever go to the Schlitz Inn near The Bruckner Expressway? Is it still there amongst all the rubble? What a Twilight Zone place that was when I found it.

This thread was more dead than sleepy Joe's brain!
I thought it was an iteresting one though? I choose to resurect it!
I don't think I was on the site when this nugget was around. I'm an industrial electrician at a dual unit nuclear plant in New York for another 6 months, then I'll be pedaling my way to another dual unit site in the south to finish out my career. I was a mechanic for many years before I got in with the sparkies
Reading this ancient thread it makes me wonder where everyone ended up?
15 years ago when this thread started I managed construction projects. I since retired with the thought of maybe jumping back in someday..... but no way! Retirement is the life.
