My Job

[duey]

For everyone that's wondering where I've been, I recently started a construction job. It's a job where I have to travel and it's extremely long hours. I don't think it will be a full time gig, but whenever I'm gone for a couple of days, I'm probably working. Just thought I'd let everyone know that in case people wondered where I've been.

We all thought you'd joined the PGA tour .....
Construction job eh ? ... I'll bet you're sore right now !!
There are two advantages to long hours - more money ... and less time to blow it on things you'll only regret later !!

Maybe this would be a good thread to tell everyone what you do for a living .. (or what you're taking in school).

So I'll go second ...

Bus Driver ... get the hell out of my way !



Ah .. the loser cruiser .. the smell of booze, cigarettes, filth, diapers, urine and vomit - all served up in the stifling heat and humidity of a jam packed bus with fogged windows and no ventilation ..

20 hour days will make you sick !
Watch out for bedbugs .. they're an epidemic in those cheap motels ..



What .. don't you recognize me in the top photo ?



Not really interesting (hours of boredom with occaional moments of violence!) but it pays well and there's a good pension.

Ok, I'll go next.
I am a welder, the company I work for (Crown Lift Trucks)) makes lifttrucks, or towmotors as some know them by. The last three weeks I have been working 11 hrs a day and 5 on Saturday. With the weld coat the big gloves and the weld helmet in the summer it is not exactly a dream job.

No metal drawing table for me. Metal is at work, when I get home I enjoy the beauty of wood. Wood is so multifaceted, it can be elegant, manly or even feminine. All I was ever able to equate metal to was testosterone and I do enough of the man thing all day plus at the gym. Now then that brings up the subject of materials and leather is a whole nother thang..........
I bet the bus driving thing lets you do alot of people watching, I think you would have some VERY interesting days.
Brian- I worked construction quite a few years ago and loved it, got out of it for welding cause the money was better.
Straycat- a billiards player???? One of the first things I bought as an adult out on my own was a regulation Old Hausen table. Cost me $2700 back in 1990, still have it, still love it.
