I prefer Biological Waste Disposal Engineer... Cause I do a lot of things that a typical "janitor" wouldn't do... Sometimes I get to box up body parts/fluids and biological hazzard stuff to be sent out and incinerated. I'm actually right now waiting for this one full time job to open up doing projects all the time. If it opens up I am so taking it so I an have a better employment title in life here... I would have assumed it to be hard to pick up chicks when ya gotta tell em your a janitor, but to my surprise I was wrong. I can't believe how many girls actually thought it was cute... None the less, I do not think its "cute". In a way its just downright degrading to me and makes me feel like a "terrific accomplishment" in life. Hopefully soon I can drop this titles and pick up a better one. lol

I hear ya on this. My brother is a janitor at a chruch and school. He makes less than I do, and he's 4 years older than me. Chicks, he does have a problem with. Being at a school and church, he only hangs around with people way older than him.

I sell cell phones... otherwise known as telecommunications something or other. Good times

[Blackcrow64]

I tell ya what... If they ever make me do the shit they made me do today again I'll walk off the job... I had to load one of these massive box trucks (about the size of the largest u-hauls you can rent) with all the recycling and shit we've accumulated over the last 3 weeks... Usually its picked up twice a week but I don't know whats been going on there. So anyways, theres a million flys and nats all over these bags of cans and shit with damn mold growing in them. I was like oh wtf this is so not fair... They stick me with the damn retard that doesn't do anything as it is and then he starts gagging like a little girl and I'm like get the f*ck out of my way. I loaded up the cart and shoved it at him. I was pissed to all hell. My blood pressure was so high it was unreal. We had a room that was about 30 feet by 60 feet and the bags were piled about 15 feet high... Yeah, it was by far the worst smelling thing I have ever experienced in my entire life...

Never again... Next time they will blow me before I dig through that shit...

Anyways, a new job should be coming up soon... I am just waiting for it to become available because its already fallen into my lap. I don't even gotta try to get it. Its mine as soon as the other guy is gone... Oh how I can't wait for a full time job just buffing and waxing floors everyday. lol No more shit jobs for me after that.


Opps, I guess this has kinda turned into a complaining thread. lol Lets not get my awesome performance thread all cluttered up with things about our jobs.

[Black99GST]

lol yeah, i want more pics... WHO'S WITH ME!!!!

[Thor06]

Buffing and waxing floors for 40 hours a week sounds like a shit job to me.... and I worked at McDonalds.

To me, nothing is a bigger shit job that taking orders from ignorant fat people for 8 hours a day.

Not when ya got a zillion hot nurses around you all night long and they come onto ya alllll the time.


Its really not that bad of a job compared to the shit they have me doing now. Plus I will have benefits and 52 PTO days a year... Kinda nice if you ask me. lol At least until an awesome job comes up in my life... For now, it supports the habit... And turbocharged vehicles seem to be that horrible habit. lol

[Black99GST]

... turbo + DSM X 7bolt = poor, but happy people!

[Blackcrow64]

Well, I finally have a bit of an update here guys. lol

So anyways, things have been moving along rather slowly since I've been working so much more. But things are finally on a pretty good roll again here... The last two nights here my friend and I welded the strut towers back together again. FINALLY... lol

Now I'm gonna grind the welds down a little and fill any low spots with filler and paint up the motor bay. I can't believe how good of a job he did on it. Everything is almost the exact contour as the factory struts. It should look nice when its all done.

Hopefully Friday my motor will finally be taken to get machined so that it can be assembled and put back in the car by the end of November here. In the meantime I'll be undercoating the car and sound deadning the whole interior.

Here's a few pictures of how the strut towers turned out right after the weld job.





The next thing I need to do is finish dying the dash black and recovering my headliner with black cloth. I am also running the wires for my AFC to the sunvisor while the headliner is apart. That is also coming along quite nicely.

I might have more pictures this weekend, cause I know everybody loves pictures! lol

[blk_srt]

good job

[eclipsed at 3am]

[Black99GST]

WOW! that looks increditable GREAT WELDS TO!!!



Looks like your getting *kinda* close to running again!
