Steve, what a wonderful idea you had...you have such a soft touch with people. You turned what this man thought was a sure dissaster into something really neat...

you can say that again!

My title is "senior designer." I'm a civil engineer, designing water and wastewater projects for boroughs, townships, etc. Right now I'm working on a WW treatment plant for a small town, selecting equipment, laying out the building, piping, equipment, etc. Next I'll get with the architect to finalize the building features, then with a heating and ventilating designer, and then with an electrical engineer. It's pretty interesting and business is good right now.

Good thread Steve

... Believe it or not , T was a meat cutter. Yeah, the band saw, the knives , the whole bit -lol AND I still have all my fingers

I can break down a side of beef, and have heard every Lorena Bobbit joke known to mankind -lol Wasn't easy at times because I had to prove myself....... partly because it is typically a male oriented job..plus ,get this, I learned from a Lefty, and had to reverse everything I was taught. Was a good paying job tho, I left it when I had my son..went back when he started school and stayed until the store was sold.

Part-time clerk for a county-run copy center for the disabled and I truly love the variety of duties and couldn't ask for a more terrific head manager, supervisor, and co-workers that I am with three days a week and I enjoy getting in more days M-F when we have some major customer work orders to fill!

Also scan data into a computer...and on my lunch time (when I eat there) can access some wx sites for a short while! :wink:

Have been there now since June 2000 and going on 3 years next month!

I'm a patient person, but when my employee John went to show someone how it happened, he smacked the wall again! Now he has 4 holes to fix.

I think I'll buy him a coloring book and some crayons and ask him to take a time out.

He can pick his favorite picture and include it in the time capsule.

TLC...you and Dennis were both meatcutters. I wouldn't mind the work, but I'd freeze to death in those cold rooms!

Ya know Steve, your REALLY something else you know that??? If I would ever have to go back to work for someone else ( that will never happen *I hope* LOL, I couldn't imagine working for someone now, once you own a business, it's SOoooo nice not having to answer to anyone but yourself!) I would want to work for you!

Now, the meatcutting business, yes, it's a GREAT job, but you talk about BACK BREAKING, DIRTY etc and a HUGE yes, it's CCCCCOLD back there, funny, you were a t shirt under a sweatshirt under a cutting coat in the middle of 100° weather outside, you get off work, walk outside and ppl look at you like you've lost it!!!

I am a computer programmer for a major pharmaceutical company. Lately I have been so busy and working so many hours that I need directions to get home and always get asked "Who are you?" by the woman (er, my wife - I think) who lives in the house. :roll:

Get him Shan!! Reminds me of the good old days !! Oh yeah, And bring me that chicken -lol When we got bored at the store we would time me and my co- worker..cutting up fryers. We had a restaurant in town that had chicken specials on Mondays..... The best GIRL won

Of course it was the knife method, and I won in a span of 45 seconds ! Doing it by band saw was cheating -lol ( and lots more dangerous, cause those are slippery little birds when they are on stainless steel) The restaurant preferred hand cutting to keep down on splintering and bone dust, so I had alot of practice. Never will forget the day we got in chickens from Gold Kist poultry that hadn't been decapitated! lol Man , did we have fun with THAT one

hee hee Take care guys... and Shan , make J buy lunch and buy the most expensive thing on the menu
