Cool Work

I work as a Nuclear Maintenance Specialist, which is a fancy name for a maintenance person. It does have it perks though. I have gotten to go to Califorina, Arkansas,Florida, Virginia,Texas to work at different nuclear plants. Got to see alot of the country that I wouldn't have gotten to see if not for traveling with Duke Power, DESI. I work with the nuclear fuel that run's the planets. NO I DON"T GLOW ! YET

I was the "Home Area Manager" at SteinMart, thats a glorified name for a sales associate who gets to answer to the store manager when things aren't done right. I left in June to stay home full time with my children.

There is a lesson here ....STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS... get a degree, as cushy and easy as my job was............RETAIL SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I am a spare parts distribution technician or a parts guy for short I run a 1 employee warehouse facility that hosts over 5 million bucks in stock. We supply machinery, service, and the spare parts for our line of underground mining equipment. So I run the show, right from office management to picking orders, packing, delivering, billing, receiving and putting away all stock etc.... It can be a lot of work some days, but others give you just the right amount of time to get everything done. Oh and the pay and benefits here kick azz

Im a process operating technician. We make a product called Adipic Acid. The carpet in our trucks start with this product. They mix it with another product and get Adipic Acid fibers which is then spun into yarn and you can take it from there. I work 12 hour shift mainly running the Control Room and the field jobs which is opening and closing valves ect. I do get 7 consecutive days off a month which leaves time for the fun stuff like working on trucks.

I work for Lockheed as a Flight Simulator Instructor. MC/AC-130s are the planes. Its a contract gig with the USAF. We teach the guys as much as we can so they get theirselves home in one piece.
Its a pretty satisfying job.

Powerhouse Engineer IV -- fancy name for a person that operates boilers. We also have a 1500KW generator for use when the lights go out(soon to be 2 of them) We also pump our own water from well and treat it for drinking water, and run a 500 ton chiller for A/C of the cell houses. Yep I said cellhouses, I work at the Iowa State Penitentiary. Oldest prison west of the Mississippi river. We got the baddest of the bad there. Although they dont seem so bad being locked up behind bars:p
