Lets see I started out as a Deputy Sheriff then I worked several years for the USDOJ-BOP. I ran my own business for 7 years never really making a buck but loving it...meanwhile I started with a major bearing manufacturor as a machinist, shortly thereafter promoted to a Supervisor. Company hiccuped and went through several transitions befroe be ing bought out in 2000 by its largest competitor. I was downsized in 2001, still running my business I decided to liquidate my stock and machinery. 09-11-01 hit and the job market SUCKED. I was tending bar, cutting lawns and doing several McJobs. Finally I got hired by the State as a Highway Maintainer in 2004, pay aint great hours are long job is dangerous, especially in the winter. But I am so happy to be working and productive!

Remember, even money starts as paper..

I've never been to the mill where money paper is made, but guys I work with have been there. Security is a little on the tight side.

It's pretty common to walk down to the dry end of the machine and grab a bit of paper to look at it in the light, to check fiber orientation, or even to use it to write notes.. One of my co-workers grabbed a bit and a guy with a M16 asked him, very politely, to put it back..

Spurz,
shooting at 1500 yards is a great job. I would gladly quit my real job to persue that.
Except I need the ammo.

If I had a nickel for the number of times I've been threatened with a lawsuit because I couldn't solve an issue that they created themselves fast enough to suit them I'd be retired in Tahiti right now.

I wished I could get paid to try and perfect that shot too. LOL

The wind blows too much in Yavapai county, and the houses popping up make it a hard to even see 1500 yards.

The "Big Fifty" is the rifle Billy Dixon shot and hit his target at 1500 yards using Black Powder. The 50-90, and the 50-100 is a little heavier bullet than the 45-110 that Quigley uses in his movie.

Funny thing though, Everytime they replay "Quigley Down Under: on one of the channels on TV, it actually stimulates gun sales in the Sharps Rifles at our shop. It is now starting to be a wager sport for us.

I've done too many to count worked in retail, fast food, and state tax commission. None of them very rewarding but nice to get paid. Got tired of doing nothing work and so went back to school. Studying for an associates in Emergency Medical Services (i.e. fancy talk for paramedic/firefighter.) Besides that at UPS, packing trucks. Not the greatest but the hours aren't the longest and works with my schedule.

I started off as a showgirl... I was the one and only Don-The-Beachcomber Girl. I took care of all the movie stars and Vips and political people. Then I worked as a cocktail waitress on the Las Vegas strip at the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino. Then I learned the table games and was a pit boss then after my knee operation I was the supervisor of the survaillance Dept. Some of the Casino Cheats you see on Tv were some of my work. I was the only lady in the whole Corp to hold that position. My last title was Corp Executive. Now after my car accident in 2002 I am retired from all the disability I have... but still loooking beautiful.....LOLLLL Lady Di

Good luck littlejoe. I know all about the NRC. I had an internship at Waterford3 down here in St. Charles Parish. Good work, horrible paperwork. They are hireing soon. I think I will stick with chemical and refinery.

I work as a CAD Manager for a Structural Engineering firm. We supply the structural calcs and drawings for large commercial buildings such as multi-use complexes, parking garages and less-than-15 story high rises.

[littlejoe872]

Pecka,

Thanks. Hopefully I won't need luck so much, but I'll take all I can get. This is my second time going for my license, and more than likely the last time(at this plant, anyway). My exam is in November, so I have a ways to go.

Lady di,

I've been to the Barbary Coast. Nice little casino. Not the amusement park atmosphere of some of the bigger ones there. Cheap beer, too, if I remember correctly. Isn't that the one with the large Elvis impersonator? I saw him while I was there a couple of years ago. Good voice, just wild to see it come out of someone so big. His belt buckle was bigger than a license plate.
