The company i work for have me over at Incitec at gibson Island (the company i work for owns the machines i drive) Most of my time is spent in a 21T Hyundai Excavator cutting the top off of piles of fertilizer. Our Loaders are all L120 Volvo's except for 1, it's a Hyundai 770 (useless bloody thing it is) I forgot my camera the other day, but i start night shift tomorrow (sunday) i will take it with me then. | |

This is my larger company, but own two more. Block by Block Retaining Walls Ltd. Started 10 years ago slinging 80-100lb. block all day for $12.00/hr, now I own two construction companies and a small media corp; hard work, ambitious and stubborn as hell made it happen before I hit 35.

For the past 4 3/4 years I've been a stay at home dad taking care of a kid on the autism spectrum. To help the family budget I sell things on eBay, none firearms-related. As a hobby I write erotic fiction and post it on literotica.com; so far it has been well received by the people who comment on my stories, novellas and one novel I've put up there. One day soon I hope to get good enough at writing to submit it to a publisher and be paid for it. And in my opinion, stay at home dadhood has little to recommend it. I am not domestic (though i cook pretty well), like most parents do the best I can and worry about it at night, and generally would rather be in on the bridge in a hurricane in the North Atlantic than be a stay at home dad. |

Let's see... no pictures of my full time job as it stands, but I'm a phone operator. Don't like it, but it pays the bills... now, if only scheduling would let me go to college so I could get into biology like I want to. On the side for fun, I do some graphics stuff, most of which I sell through my stores on cafepress.com. I also write fiction stuff of various genres that I hope to eventually publish, even if only self-publishing.

Yeah most people i know who aren't self employed never even notice the money missing. Heck alot of people feel like tax returns are the government giving them something. It's a shame how hard people are taxed. This year has been a learning experience for me with taxes. Before this year I had never had a taxable income worth noting. I have been meaning to hold back 25-30% on my comissions, but for some reason when your 20 money just burns a deep hole in your pocket once you get alittle. Oh i also did clean-up work after Katrina along with every other able bodied man in MS. Here's a pic of my 2000GMC sierra it was my first truck but then got converted into the fuel truck. My dad owns a construction company and they still beat and dog the poor thing daily with well over 200,000 hard miles. I ran a couple bobcats. Ouch, that will break you from drinking very quickl y having to run those things in the morning![]() | |

I did the plant operating thingy part time ( when needed, I went to work ) but I`m able to work fulltime now. For now. Nathan, I drive to work in a newish Hyundai, and spend the day in an ancient Volvo My excavator I consider new, its like a `94 Cat 325L..

LOL Mick, I would love to see you try and get one of those excavators 25-30 meteres off the ground on top of a pile of urea then swing your boom around 2 inches from the roof of the shed. I used to work at Stratford coal mine back down home in NSW. We had 170t Leibherr's and a 390t O&K. Last edited by Nathan123; 01-16-2008 at 06:18 PM. Reason: spelling | |
