This is an update as I have just changed jobs. I was working in a steel fabrication work shop where the main focus was building steel work for electrical sub-stations. Heavy duty stuff lots of steel wrangling, I just got sick of it. I am now working as a maintenance engineer at a print factory. They run 24, 7, so it is shift work. There is just two shift rosters, shift one from 6am-2pm, shift two 2pm-10pm and every fourth week on call out. I just finished my first week and it is all good, I really enjoy fiddling about with machinery, replacing parts or machining up new ones. So I now have a better job and one that pays more as well! I'm a happy man!

I thought I post in this thread a long time ago and after a quick search I found out I didn't so here goes. When I was in high school and college I worked at a number of jobs; fast food, pizza delivery driver, truck loader for RPS trucking, pawn shop broker, semi trailer builder for Monon and helped out on the family farm. Since then I have worked as an Air Traffic Controller. First three years at Anchorage ARTCC and then Sitka FSS (Flight Service Station) for the last 9 years. Lucas Sitka, Alaska
