what does everybody do at their job. i realise that most of the people here arent old enough to work but to the ones that are: what do you do for a living? i run a very high speed printer. up to 900 feet per minute with 4 huge ink jet print heads. you can all see my work at a local k-mart. go into the store and look at the "advertised special" signs on the clothes and crap they have there. i print and cut those signs. i just ran 150,000 adds tonight. pretty sweet huh! :)

example: womens tampax tampons 50% off

Martha Stewart baskets 3 for 5

that is the kind of trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro i print. i used to print the barcodes on the ups shipping books but the company that bought out my company that i work for stole them. those damn canadian bastards :D

I've been an Air Force jet engine mechanic for 18 years and 10 months. In just 14 short months I'll be retiring. Before the Air Force I worked several different jobs as a teenager, i.e. food service, gas station, wrecker service, mud mixer for a brick layer, etc. The last job I had before joining up was working in a tampon and pad factory (Kotex and New Freedom brands) for about 2 years.

Mountain Rider: how did you get the job at the tampon factory?

[SteveATC24]

I am in the Air Force and stationed at Maxwell AFB, Montgomery AL. I am 24 and have been in a little over 5 years. I am an Air Traffic Controller(ATC) and I have worked in a sock factory in the sock capitol of the world which is Ft. Payne, AL, trimmed power lines for asplundh in North Georgia and put up metal buildings all before I joined the Air Force. I really like the AF and will probably be a lifer or until they make me retire.

I'm a former fishing tackle manufacturer/distributer(10 years) and also was a fishing guide, and occasional tournament fisherman .. switched my *profession* to robotic decoys manufacturer/distributer a few years back ... better money and far less toxic work.

Or in other words .. I work my @ss off September to January .. and screw around the rest of the year.

Not many jobs a person can go hunting for a tax write-off :-D

man 22Re's are a pain to work on. i had to change the timing chain and do a valve job on one a few weeks back. i am just a shade tree mechanic, i think i will charge more next time. :D

[jeswinehart]

i do propane,,, anything gas or closely related.
got my job after i got out of the navy and bought a place. i got laid off so i went to my propane supplier and explained i couldn't pay my whole bill off in time. the lady said i'd need to talk to the owner and all he asked was if i could drive a truck !
24 + years later i have yet to be laid off !

I spend my time running a broach. A broach is used to put the internal splines and keyways in gears, hubs, couplers, ect. I wondered for years how they did that and once I seen it I put my transfer in to run it. Its a great job to relax at. I just put a part in the fixture and press 2 buttons. It hard the break a sweat running it. lol

The secret to the timing chain job on the 22re is to not take the head off and if its a 4wd dont take the oil pan down as long as the guides didnt fall in the pan. If you can finesse it you wont mess up the head gasket, and just reseal the front of the oil pan. Although that motor is thought to be Toyotas finest hour by many. The valves are easier to adjust on that engine than the new ones with the shim and bucket set up, what a pain in the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro. The 22Re is similiar to the head on the 350x or an xr with the valve set up.
