At the place where I work, a plastics manufacturing company, we make a lot of pieces for Habasit. They mainly do plastic conveyor belts of all sorts. Pretty monotonous work if you ask me ... Moving from machine to machine checking for flaws, cutting, trimming flash, flattening, bending, et cetera. Another thing we were making were the control panel casings for the Perimeter wireless dog fences. And another thing we make are battery housings that get shipped to places like Exide.

We have these HUGE machines there that inject plastic into custom molds (like in this link). I haven't really learned how to operate them yet besides putting them in manual mode and opening/closing the mold. I'll learn more when I'm there longer. This is only my second week so far

A lot of the stuff that gets made there I have no idea what it is lol. Its pretty interesting to find out what it is

AAHHH finally i have something to put in here

Just started my Joinery apprenticeship yesterday, trouble is I've broken my damn left hand (im left handed too) and the job we're working on is installing big massive fire doors at a retirement home oh! and for any americans reading Joinery is Carpentry just we call it something different, or we call joiners "Chippies" lol

Another thing we make at work: http://www.walcottrx.com/shop/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=110

Yay Congrats. At my new job which I'm actually proud of I'm a collector for Doctors collecting on insurance companies that haven't paid for workers comp. I get to arguw with attorneys and adjusters to pay up and for my first week I'm doing pretty good job I guess I'm a good debater. Since Tuesday I've already settled for 2250. dollars which is pretty good considering my files are small since im new

I'm a network engineer at Arizona State University.

My job as a research assistant is now ending in January instead of February . . . why?

'Cause I'm starting grad school in January!

So at that point I'll be a Graduate Research Assistant, making about the same money but working towards a master's degree in chemical engineering. My thesis will probably involve bio-compatible materials or something along those lines, as my major professor is a bioengineer who does a lot of work with interfacial studies.

Pipefitter/Pipeliner/structural welder/pipeline welders helper for minor and major oilfield companies ie Husky, North American, Leadcore.

Looking to get a trades degree in Construction Electrcian field or Computer technician.

I work in a grocery store. XD

Well I just got fired.

Temp agency is working on finding a new job for me.

Ugh ...

i deal with these but of a different brand

i think this thread is from 2008... really cant tell but i seem to remember it... (should have the year it was posted on it really admins...)

This is one of those threads where it's fun and doesn't matter if it gets old (it's not an old "my scorp is dying!" thread from three years ago where advice is irrelevant).

So post what you do for a living!

And the year is visible in the top of the very first post. It's actually from May of this year (six pages ago, anyway).

Job changed, was a dog bather, now a professional groomer working on my final certification.

I can finally make a new real post in this thread!

The grad school thing started to fall through because the grants for that one professor fell through . . . was looking into just applying and being a TA . . . but then I suddenly got a "real" job!

I'm currently a process control / optimization engineering intern at a pulp and paper mill. I've only had one "real" day so far, but I think my focus is going to be on calibrating consistency meters to make sure they're reading accurately. (Consistency = mass concentration of wood fibers in pulp, expressed as percentage.)
