Lastly I called the Graphic designer and told him that I needed the new decals pronto for the show. Gets a little hectic when you do all the GMPP stuff for the dealership.

let me know if you need someone to handle any overflow. PS, what do you do/who do you work for?

I dont know if I can post a non sponser website So I will PM you the business. I can handle the load right now but once the new shop opens it will get even worse. We have a new line of in house engines being released this weekend and a new parts line up. If any one needs some info on some billet aluminum re-useable oil filters let me know.

Also busted a shoplifter. Sat on my ass the regular amount of time as well

Cool job!

I woke up around eleven. I played video games most of the day. hung out with my girlfriend until she went to something she calls "job"

then I slept some more. went and played poker with some friends. Won some money. wonders why my girlfriend doesn't just do this as her "job". Go home and fall asleep.

We went to Ellsworth today and Dad had to go on top the elevator so I sat in the van and listened to talk radio and sent tools up the elevator inside the elevator. after that we drove to osborne and put a light on the front of a contol box so they would know when the motion sensor was armed. tommorrow I will get a crash course in driving a truck that usually requires a CDL but since I wont get 100 miles from home I don't need one. then for probably the next month I will be driving our Mack rock truck in circles haulin rock to our dirt road and the county will rock it. If anyone has tips on driving a big truck like this with a 5 speed please PM me. Friday I will prolly spend the morning workin on the car, cleaning puttin on the new emblems and changin oil then that afternoon I get to go visit my girl and pick up some parts for my parents so we can get to work on our new 60 by 48 shop.

I didn't do any computer stuff (I have been in computer services since 1990).
I booked a wedding for Saturday (I am a wedding minister).
I sent pricing info out to a potential sponsor for the race car (I race too).

I work at home so I took an hour off and drove to town with my bird to bring my wife coffee at the Toyota dealership where she works.

I priced out some car parts to convert an old Lincoln Town Car into a tow vehicle.

**Daniel P.** · 05-30-2007, 03:14 PM

Delivering Pizza aint to bad, I know a Kid that restored a '69 Chevelle and since the pizza place payed for gas delivered in that.

**joerockhead** · 05-30-2007, 03:17 PM

I work for A Three letter Telecom company, at a 1,000,000 SqFt building -
Today, I moved some phones around some office space, replaced a broken phone, took some phones out of service and put them in storage, moved some other phones around, checked on 20 phones to verify the location, changed the name on a phone directory as well as the voicemail, updated several databses and also worked on the Phoneshop Web pages, updateing and changing about 5 pages.

Tomorrow I will pull some CAT5e and terminate it, and get it ready for some other phones that will be moved off some old wire, and then I will prep an IDF that needs to be relocated, I will probably fix more voicemail boxes and move more phones, as well as update some DB's and work on the webpages some more.

Stay busy and get about two to three miles a day walking in.
Good work and nice pay.

**Daniel P.** · 05-30-2007, 03:59 PM

It would have to pay damn good, I hate pullin wire, I am youger so I am usually the one that has to go up the ladder, you prolly have a better method that what we use though. A ten foot long pole with the wire taped to the end works about the best except when it gets caught or you have to feed it down a tube.

**allbaugh_04** · 05-30-2007, 04:25 PM

everyone's job sounds better than mine...got to work around 10:50pm listened to everyone talk about what they did on the previous shift. checked out a tool box, walked out to the plane and tried to fix some system. then...got talked to about being behind in my cdc's (books that have lots of information about my job, 1000 pages total probably) then we got called out to the plane again and we were supposed to fix a radar system, but it was fine....i tried getting on ls1.com but its blocked but ls1tech.com isn't...i got off quickly since i heard someone coming...then i fell asleep for 2minutes while i'm supposed to be reading the cdc's but then i heard someone coming again so i pretended to be workin on the cdc's again while wondering why the hell did i sign on that line and wishing i could be doing ANYTHING but this........then i went home at 7am

**fluke** · 05-30-2007, 05:46 PM

Military. Today was simple though. Went to work at 0530 this morning. I took apart a launcher (a type of rocket launcher) and cleaned and inspected it and then I tested warning salvo alarms and synchronizer inputs. I was off work early today because I didn't have a lot to do and was finished by lunch. So I got off work at like 1400.

If it's any consolation though, I hate my job.

**Sarge** · 05-30-2007, 05:55 PM

Met with the regional director for Allstate.
Met with my CPA and listened to him whine for an hour.
Spoke with my lawyers for awhile.
Spoke with the sec of states office in California.
Told TAMP and Spaz to go get a room.
Took the Vette to a buddy of mine who has a lift to change oil.
Came home and ate Mama's chili dogs and had a beer.
On here seeing what is going on.
Time to go to bed....
Do it all again tomorrow.

At least I'm not alone, but I've only been in a year and I got 3 whole years left!...So do you just fix weapons or what?

I'm a Cryptologist/Technician of sorts. I do a lot of different things.

I can fix electronic equipment though and that is often what I do. I've been in 4 years.. supposed to have 2 left, but I have medical issues and might not be allowed to stay (I'm not complaining too much!). I just hope I can find work that makes as much as I make now - about $2700 a month. Considering over half of that is bills/expenses.
