Computer Systems Support, just got into it almost half a year ago. 40hrs/wk with 1-2 hrs OT here and there. I could a little more but really don't want to be here more than I have to be. The company I work for is great though: 9 holidays, 1.5 accumulated days per month for personal time, all benefits, etc. Pay is great, which is the only reason I even took the job (right out of school I had other plans, but this dangled in front of my face so I went w/it). I've done much more for much less, so it's worth it.

On the side I do metal polishing and refinishing, which is even better money. Too bad I didn't have 40hrs/wk (heck, even 20) to put into that as ongoing practice or I'd really have it easy!

Is there a joke in there or is that really what she does? One can never tell with you

I'm currently a network administrator (been doing it for the past 8 years).

I work 40 hours per week but I am also taking 10 credits of classes to finish a second degree so I stay pretty busy.

Yeah Chuckman you go buddy !........... I did that for 5 years 2 of which I surface ground. I had to use "G" codes though that sucked, but I miss the old shop work.

I don't mind "G" (general) codes. It's the "M" (machine) codes that are a pain. They change from vendor to vendor. Mazak,Amada,Mitsubishi all use different M codes.

I currently just got a job as a diesel mechanic working on school buses, little mini buses and cars used to transport kids to school. I start wednesday but pay is decent for starting for my age(20) and experience. Gotta work holidays except christmas and 4th of july mehh, but has benefits, 7am-5pm and work late if a bus needs to get done that day for the next day to get used. Once I heard Weekends Off I got a smile on my face, I kinda tuned the rest of the stuff out. When I turn 21 I need to get a CDL which I think is cool to have, i dont know why? . If we're short on bus drivers then the mechanics and office secretaries join in, I thought that was weird but easy money and plow the lots so we can get the buses out on route and such. Not excited having to get up at 6-6:20am, im not a morning person

Do you want to see a copy of my pay stub if they pay for it get it and start looking into LTL, Freight, or dumps. Trust me everything you eat ,wear, etc.. comes by way of a TRUCK. Think about it.
