So, what's your day job?

[olyman]

I work in a chemical plant making broadleaf weed killer. If you spray your lawn or field in N America odds are real good it came from my plant.

and I presume,, your in a full on protective suit in that environment????

I get battered women divorced and keep abusive dads from getting to see their kids.

mmmm, ok.. what happens when its reversed????

 

[olyman]

Good.

Any man that beats on a woman or a child will get no sympathy from me.

I would have agreed with that when younger,, but I worked at a large factory before retirement. theres women,, that are damned near stronger, than most men,, and have a reallll altitude with it also...and yeah,, ive met them, face to face.....b I t ches

I design and build stuff. I designed the glue factory that makes the glue that holds your windshield in place. I designed the proccess piping and packaging equipment that produces your medicine. I designed the packaging line with the 3 robots that put Dursban in the bottles and put the bottles in the cases and put them on the pallets. I designed the HVAC system for a Nuclear power plant that was never built. I have givin up on all that thinking and drawing. Now I just build cow barns. Cows are much better company than the engineering infastructure of world class chemical companys. A skytrack with a full tank of fuel is a lot more fun. Drill holes and use the earthquake trim a couple hundred 6 x 6 posts. Fun stuff

I was a diesel/truck mechanic for 25 years, but this last September I left that occupation to work on forklifts for a large warehousing company. Technically, I'm in fleet maintenance, so I still work on a truck now and then. Things had gotten sour with the ownership at my old company and overall, the transportation industry is pretty raw. It's hard to find a day job in trucking, and a lot of companies do not pay overtime over 40 hours. The stress level is waaayyyy down at my new job, and I don't have to spend all day outside getting trucks running when it's below zero out. It was hard to give up 4 weeks vacation, and to start over being the new guy with lots of new stuff to learn.

your peace of mind,,is worth WAAAAAAYYYYYY more than the cash..........

So after that woman beat you up, were you able to face your male coworkers.

I've been retired 5 years come April. It is by far the best gig I have ever had.

In the Summer we play 18 holes of golf everyday, (walking). Generally get in 110-160 rounds /year.

I also have an orchard that is getting renovated with 320 new trees, am a licensed chemical applicator with small business doing the same, cut fair amount of firewood for sale, serious 9 ball player, run a skid steer plowing snow and recently volunteering in a saw shop learning to be a mechanic.

Working was never this busy. I make it a point to never do anything I don't want to do.

STRAIGHT UP!!! I retired,, from a factory job,,,,, BUUUT, i aint retired!!!!! as you said,, its now what I want to do....and there aint enough years left for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[olyman]

According to my wife I ride around in my truck, drink coffee, shoot ****, and sell a light bulb every now and then. In real life I am a sales engineer for a company and I have responsibility for a few paper mills in my area.

wives are such teasers!!!!

First and foremost, I'm a twin-girl dad and husband to a tough chick. And I'm damn good at both.

By trade, I work on the guidance systems for Army artillery pieces. Because of me and about 50 other guys, this howitzer (below) can put 100lbs of steel and high explosive into the front door of a mosque at 30 miles out. We keep guns updated and fielded with the latest and greatest computers and hydraulics.
