Awesome, did he work on the Columbia?

 

That makes sense. I've never been in a union as a welder, so there were still interviews...kind of. They were usually pretty pointless since welders are generally hired by word of mouth. Every welding job I've had or been a part of hiring for, a resume and interview was simply a formality. Know a guy in the shop, he says "yeah, I know so and so. He's a stud." , go in and shake hands, done.

 

Rectum? damn near killed em

He was at a small municipality plant on the Moyie River for ~18 years, then moved to an Avista plant in the Clark Fork for about 15yrs until he retired about 4-5 years ago

 

That’s when the bear got him

 

3 years pumped gas (it's a jersey thing)
3 years EMT for a non 911 system
20 years EMT/ heavy rescue/ tour chief. State job with a pension
7 years safety officer for state wastewater plant.

I'll have 25 years at 50 years old but will probably stay till 55.

 

Now that I'm typing them out, I've had more than I'd like to admit:

Convenience store clerk (16)
Home Depot
Light's Fantastic warehouse worker
Plumbers helper
HVAC helper > fabricator
Insurance company clerk
^That's about 6 years, with big gaps between some of those jobs
Federal Reserve Bank clerk
IRS clerk
^These two total about 9 years
EDS: IT Help desk > Security Architect
Insight: Microsoft Solutions Consultant / Manager
^These last 2 are 24 years

 

Started swinging a hammer at 6 “helping” my dad with various projects and remodel jobs and did that until I left for college.
Mowed lawns for neighbors
Trimmed raspberry canes at the end of one season
Worked McDonalds for two months right out of HS (first job not under the table)
Worked restocking shelves at Safeway, then transitioned over to the produce department for a summer before college
Worked in a shipping warehouse contracted to John Deere for a summer during college
Framed houses for a summer and into the winter during college (fucking cold framing houses in WI in the winter)
Worked for a custom remodel contractor for about 6 months during college
Interned for my current company my last summer of college (1997), then came to work for them full time when I graduated and haven’t left. I’ve been a field engineer, assistant project manager, project manager, BIM coordinator, BIM Manager, and now Director of Virtual Construction.

 

6 employers in 25 years.

First paying job I was 15, just a strong back and weak mind for this shady character building fence. He tried to get out of paying me until my dad sent him a letter from our lawyer. It was just my dad, with good lawyer talk. He paid up right away.
At 16, I got a job at Burger King on our AF base until I graduated.
After high school I worked a couple shit manufacturing jobs until I got an electrical apprenticeship.
Been in the trade now for almost 20 years, commercial construction and now a union journeyman wireman at a hydroelectric dam.

 

Just think, when you get colder you can put more clothes on. When we hit 119F during the summer you can only get so naked in public.

 

Yep. That's one of the reasons I prefer the cold to the heat. It's also easier to warm up than it is to cool down.

 

-14 my dad and I built a cabin at the lake
-15 I got a cash job helping a family friend built a log house.
At 16 cash gig changing out a bunch of fluorescent bulbs in a warehouse

How’s it looking over there Andy? Just light rain/snow mix here in Framingham I don’t think it’s going to amount to any thing here but I’m here collecting ot just in case

 

My OT got killed. Just rain here and at my park.

 

Add the 2 years in high school I worked in a ceramic shop part time cleaning molds.

17 jobs. Still think I’m missing some

 

My job history is so boring compared to all of you guys.

Pizza Hut for a couple years in HS.
Burger King for a month.
Roofer for a summer to get a 2 dollar raise.
Moved a bit and was hired at a newly opened Gamestop in that never actually put me on the schedule. Lived on my savings for a month before "quitting" because thier employee discount was costing me money.
Hired as a telemarketer selling newspapers. Lasted 2 whole weeks and only job I was let go from. They were just a bit quicker than I was. Planned to give notice the same day.
Moved again, brief stint back with Pizza Hut.
Took over a fireworks store as a manager with a buddy.
Took a job as a fuel desk attendant at a truck stop.
Previous 2 totalled almost 7 years. Then started with my current company as a warehouse worker. Covered 3 different positions/jobs and was essentially a lead, but the position didn't exist.
When they fired an idiot from a driver position I applied for it. Got it, trained, got my CDL and was driving to some crazy places delivering buildings, cell towers, and related components to the tops of mountains for a few years.
Pounced on an opportunity to get out from under a garbage manager by switching departments. Now I'm a NOC tech and have been for a few years.

 

Why didn’t anyone tell me this beer was any good?!It kinda reminds me of a green corn tamale.

 

You must have missed about twenty posts.

 

That’s not hard to do around here!
We went to caps n corks, which is more expensive than tap n bottle; I’ll be trying them next time. But we went and got some Xmas gifts, which I totally forgot the gift card so I had to run back in. The cashier mentioned my boys looked EXACTLY like me………..and how cute they were…..
I also got that candy bar milk stout to try later.

 

Tell me you got the French Toast beer..

 

Tell me you got the French toast beer!!! Missed out on that one.

 

@ToyoMafia you spelled shit show wrong.

Oh shit. The title changed.. must mean a drop is in the works…

 

True, true. Good on ya.

 

Can't find it here

 

Send me ur address in a PM I’ll hook you up.

 

I won't be able to partake, being woefully gluten free; but I imagine a hatch chile beer tasting something like an R&B cover of Radiohead's Creep. Weird, but delightful.

 

Time to ruin children, yes this is a bootleg of the 1978 holiday special
