Job

[GeneralTJI]

Network Admin for a state organization that works with smaller school districts in the country (we are no diff. than a school basically). There are 4 of us in the IT department, we do a lot of other things with the schools too.

Pay sucks for IT work....

Benefits are awesome!, no bonuses but we get a LOT of cool perks (every tech need you can think of is met and then some, including stuff at home because I have to work remotely from home quite often)

I have a company car (it's a beater but hey... I'm thankful to have it)

Best people I have worked with, been there around 5 /12 years... spent almost 5 years at the Post Office before this... money was pretty decent but it sucked horribly working there.

I am Red Seal General Machinist, Looking at Millwright as I just need to do the test.

I have been in the trade since 2002 and have worked on lots of thing from plastic injection molds, blow molds, multi-stage sampling dies, dies, oil field, Aerospace and military ect.

Right now I do a lot of work for Haliburton at my shop I would say 75% of what I do is for them.

Rest is a mix of everything from car/tank/plane/helicopter and more.

Most military work is not the most fun well the stuff we do as we have a guy that has to watch you do everything you do all chips must be accounted for and weighed to make sure they get back 100% of the material that they have us make parts with.


I have worked with the best of the best machines and some of the worst out there.

Right now I run 3 good mid to upper machines most shifts. They are made by Mori Seiki all 3 are lathes. Two are CNC Lathe with Live Tooling (Can mill too), One has a Y-axis.

For The oil field guys if you use Halliburton (Sperry-Sun) I can bet I have made a part you have used.

Would be nice to take over, but we'll see. Before that I've done everything from new and used car sales at a Chevy dealership to running my own used car lot for a while. Also was as asst. mgr for Autozone also was a gloryfied bookeeper/payroll asst. for Waste Mgmt. of TN. Even worked at wal-mart last two years of high school and two years of college.

[SteveFord]

I've been a plumber since I graduated high shcool in 1993. Been doing it for 18 years. Been a supervisor at 2 companies for friends and helped them get going. Went on my own this past year as I decided to stop bettering eveyone else and better myself and family so now a small business owner. Should have done it a long time ago but better late than never. All my trucks I've had was and are used for work. Have a 06 dmax van now so the truck doesn't get used as much anymore. Having the name Ford Plumbing and owning three GM products and no Fords get alot of attention lol!!
