Work...

Hm... I was thinking... and I was just wondering what everyone did for work around here...

list things like, company name, website (if applicable), what your company makes/sells(etc), position, and describe what you do...
I'll go first

I work for Daughtridge Sales Co. Inc (not Daughtridge gas)

http://www.dascosales.com

We sell pressure gauges and thermometers (for industries, not cars ;(), oh and all the associated fittings.

Calibration Technician

I calibrate the gauges. The manufacturer says that a gauge will read no more than X% off of what it is supposed to read. I take the gauges and make sure they meet that, if not, I open them up and repair them. I also do "CD4 Charts" which are expensive little charts showing what the gauge was found to meet (without asking for a CD4 the gauges are shipped out without any testing)...

Example of a CD4: (it's a clickable link)

Re: Work...

Hmm, well I only work at a resturant, but I'm only 18 so that's okay It's China Doll resturant and I do basically.. everything -- except cook. I help out people who are facing too much work for one person, so I'm trained in all areas. Hell, when I take deliveries, I still get paid on shift plus deliveries, plus tips, even if I'm not at the store for hours I like the owner, really chill guy who drives a Porsche 911 and looking for a newer one.

Re: Work...

I am a professional lazy ass . I dont work, atleast not at the moment. I worked at McDonalds from for like 4.25 years though, so I am not completely lazy, just taking the semester off of work for school. Next semester I am going to work in the cafeteria in the basement a couple days a week for a little extra cash flow (and to help fund the DSM build in the spring).

Re: Work...

Full time partier here, 8pm-5am M-F. Haha no, dad owns a fairly large farm in NE North Dakota so that's what I do when I'm not in school. It's pretty sweet.

Re: Work...

I worked at a local pizza for 2 1/2 years as head cook and pizza maker. It was cool. Only worked nights and was way under paid, so it sucked there.

Then worked at Circuit City for like 1 1/2 years. Was senior for my department then got moved to computers. Had way too much fun here.

Then worked at Best Buy for 1 year. Had again way too much fun here. Worked in computers, then moved to the wireless department (cell phones and iPods).

Now I work at Cingular/AT&T as the last couple posts were about. Been here for exactly 3 months right now. When I graduate from college next semester, and after I've been here one year, I'm moving to the I.T. department. Will be making some sweet dough there.

I'm also a freelance computer techy. Reformats, software stuff, hardware stuff, anything. Make some decent cash with that.

And last but not least, I'm a freelance mechanic too. Just now did a tune up on one of my co-workers car, and replaced a thermostat on my bosses car. It's 7 degrees outside. Way too cold to be doing any of that. Good times.

Re: Work...

Mmmm, future jobs. I am planning on getting a secondary education out the ass so I can do whatever I want. I am going to get this Mechanical Engineering degree and I am planning on a Math minor. Then, I would like to go to tech school for automechanics and machining.

So bam, no matter what happens I have a back up plan. If the Mechanical Engineering thing back fires, I have a math minor so I would just have to take some teaching classes (I think) to teach high school math (I would like to teach high school calculus). If I was a teacher or if I had a lot of time as an engineer, I would get an extra job as a mechanic or maybe open a shop. So there you have it. I am going to be a calc teacher/mechanical engineer/grease monkey/shop owner when I grow up .

I would probably do the workin on cars thing in my retirement...

Re: Work...

4.25 years at McDonald's? Shit, where I live, even one year at McDonald's is pretty impressive on a resume just because of all the constant rushing and bullshit dealt with there. Good on you, Dustin.

As for the future, I don't care what job I have. All I know is that I'm going to have a $10K car loan to pay off while I'm in school... but I wouldn't have to pay the school loan after I'm done school. Maybe I'll try to get a job at a bank.. I like money.

Re: Work...

Night shift at a metal manufacturer, running and setting up a press making parts for John Deere, Case, Kubota, government vehicles (also paint these), etc... Decent money, foreman that sleeps 9 out of the 10 hour nights, and all the hiding places I need anytime I don't feel like doing anything

Oh yea, and a bunch of wanna-be tuners with redneck cars and such..so funny to listen to them brag about the "badass" $40 exhaust they just put on their Aspire to increase horsepower or the "insanely loud" Lightning Audio subs they put in their Ford Probe (actual examples, lol).

Re: Work...

I'm a MILF Hunter. No training recieved, all self-taught. Level 9. Graduated from MILF Scavenger to Hunter status 2 years ago. Approximately 6 concurrent targets acquired and sustained at present, four colors. MILF refresh rate is pretty good this season: 2 per month. And what's great, is that I don't have to pay any tax on MILFs.










Oh yeah, and other than that, on a smaller note, I work for the County of San Diego as security for a non-emergency services geriatric hostpital for my paychecks.
