Pigpen,

I was a union comercial glazier when this post started, been retired for 6 months now. I'm impressed by all the talent!!!!!!!.........OLDBEET

 

I have a BS degree in freight relocating = truck driver

 

Computer Monkey. Work in a two person shop, we do everything from removing spyware to building $10k servers. It's ok, pretty tiring, the 10-12hr days are getting to me. Stressful as hell sometimes, just the other day I was trying to recover and rebuild a 7-8 year old database for a distribution company. If they lost it, they were out of business. Got it working, but man, knocked a bit off my lifespan. They never talked in school about how stressful this crap would be, or how good you have to be at customer relations. To me, it's just a means to an end, I know how to fix these things, so that's how I get my money. Not sure if it's better than working in a warehouse, or running car parts like I use to do!

 

i do body and paint..i get that from my moms side of the family they are all painters ..i also do upholstery ..get that from my dad ..and thought my self how to chop and section ,and build complete cars the only thing i dont do is wiring.

I USED TO DRIVE THE FORKLIFT AT OUR LOCAL CEMENT PLANT AND
I WOULD MOVE THE MORTAR BLOCK PALLETS ARROUND THE PLANT.

I HATED THAT EVERYBODY CALLED ME A "MORTAR FORKER"

THE WORSTEST JOB THOUGH, WAS AT THE WINERY, I HAD TO
LICK THE CORKS SO THEY WOULD SLIDE IN THE BOTTLE EASY

AND THEY ALL CALLED ME "THE L'ILL CORK SUCKER".... I QUIT!!!!

 

I have had a lot of odd jobs. From high scholl I went in tot he MArine Corps. From there I went to Vegas where I was armed security slash knee breaker. After moving back to CA I worked as a security officer/ crane operator/ taxi driver for Exxon oil. I also worked in a couple shops rebuilding engines and suspensions, until i was hurt at work when a hood broke lose and the hood spike injured my l ower back. Then I worked at walmart for 3 1/2 years because I could no longer work at a repair facility because of my back injury. After moving to NC, I now work at AAA Carolina's. I am a roadside counsler for AAA. Also when some one is in a bad area and AAA is unable to find them service they pass the buck back to me so I can find the service after they have been waiting 4 hours on the side of the road. Not the most thankful job but atleast it helps pay the bills.

That's the whole reason why I moved to LA actually. To start my career. Whoa, that sounds scarey.... no more odd jobs for this girl!

I'm an apparel production manager at a very small company. Our webiste currently shows our fall 2005 collection, but we intoduced handbags for spring and plan to introduce a mens line for next fall.
