[Pappy]

Lots of folks would die for any job right now

[Guy400]

Well quit there and go put your name on the list at Manpower. You'll begging to go back to covering seats...

[buck440]

manpower?

[Guy400]

It's a temporary employment agency. You're basically contracted to work on a day-to-day basis and typically it's some type of construction/sweatshop work, no benefits and they get about 40% of your day's wage.

[fastredrider44]

Not everyone is cut out for a plant job, but if it's paying the bills, don't complain. Your life isn't that bad. Suck it up.

[ohiomxyfz]

Im a skilled laborer (CNC machinist/programmer) But i been laid off for 5 months. I would take whatever i can get even if it was just covering seats. Times are tough, If its a job ill do what i can for money until i can get back into my trade.

[buck440]

i'm only doing it for a truck, 98.5 cummins quad cab long bed:macho once i get half the money i need since my dad will lend me the other half, then i'm heading straight for the mines.

[Tommy Warren]

fire up the Ipod helps kill time.

I was a carpenter but got laid off for 6 months now I just sit in a bobcat all day man it gets boring fast. so I hooked xm radio up to the skidsteer and now I rock out and hit stuff all day its a blast.

[buck440]

[byrdman37876]

Sucks working for the man.

[Shift_450R]

Quit complaining. It could be A LOT worse. At least you have a job, and what you're doing isn't that bad.

[250x_kyle]

atleast you have consistant work. alot of people are hit and miss as far as a work week goes.

[extremeblastr]

wanna switch? i work for a weekly salary and available bonuses, good luck getting the bonuses and lately the excuse has been "we didn't make enough this week to dole out full pay so your all only getting 80% of your salary, don't cry or we'll just cut your pay to that every week"

[usp4u]

stop whining. i'm sure there are thousands of mexicans willing to do take that job off your hands.
you would "hate your life" much less if lost that sense of entitlement you got going there. it's not beneath you.

[redrocker]

Whistle while you work :)

How about you tell your company I'll come down and do the job for you.. I'm unemployed right now so I'll take that job in a second...

It sounds like a job to me? I would do anything to work right now! I can't commit to anything due to my back and leg. I tried working with a buddy on Monday doing a streetrocking job. When I relized I litterally couldn't make it out of bed to go to work the next morning, I relized enough is enough. I been looking for a good doctor all week that is covered under my insurance, but there may not be any permanit fix. Im misserable at the moment, but I can't say my life sucks because there are people out there that have it so much worse. I have to be thankful of what I have. But I would give anything to just feel fit to be able to do hard labor again.

Bottom line- SUCK IT UP.

yea thats what really sucks. i frame houses, fun work and pays good and i love my job... but just found out yesterday that i have today and thursday and maybe friday off :(

[8my_Cash]

Hell, i wouldnt complain i might be doing a mindless job like that in december. I graduate from college in december to the worst job market in 20 years.........so much for a college education :rolleyes: .


Whatever pays the bills is worth it so suck it up and get that Truck haha

cant wait till im 12 so i can get a job at the farm down the road and make some money and buy that 400ex=)

[MX MaNiAc 06]

Man.. do you guys realize that you're complaining about working TOO MUCH?! :huh Don't forget why you're there in the first place.. to make money. The more hours you work, the more money you make. No one likes their job.

I'm a prep cook currently. It's just a summer job to make a few extra bucks for school. But my only complaint about the job is they don't give me enough hours. (30-35/wk) They pay me dirt but I don't complain and just try my best so they realize they aren't paying me enough. :rolleyes:

im 11 and im excited about getting my job,itll be a lil less work then i have to do around the house and ill get payed more=):D

[buck440]

yesterday they gave us a general idea of what were doing but today i found out that my actual job is the second easiest one there...i complain no more:blah:

[Sjorge450R]

I work at a hardscape supply yard driving a fork lift and there are many landscapers that havent been having a good year. I see some guys all the time, but thats cause they are working for barley anything. Me on the other hand. I locked in a deal with my boss that I am too work 50 hours a week every week....so far since May 14th, I have done that.

[yfzrider310]

Its a hell of alot better than what im doing. I put bags over corn stalks for 10 hours a day everyday in 80-90 degree weather. Then have to listen to mexicans talk in spanish and all the people that speak english don't want to talk at all so its dead silent all day. No days off and work straight through weekends. Its really gay but it makes money so its all good.

After seeing some of the jobs you guys do, makes me appreciate mine more. Bossing 10 people and sitting next to a tank of water doing ultrasonic scans don't seem so bad now. :cool:

[bansheeboy321]

unemployment is almost 30% around here....wanna switch??

[<DRS>GPF]

He's hot, sweat drops, 'round the clock
Door never locks
Noise never stops
Not all day
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

Shift work, tough work for the convenience store clerk
Two feet that hurt, going insane
She's mad at some lad
Drove off and didn't pay for his gas and he won't be the last
'round the clock pain
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

Talking about a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

Well i work, shift work,


Ten years man, i hated that work
I made a break with the money i made
It took me to the beach to have a beer by the edge of the sea
And this 'round a clock place
I drank my money away
We partied
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

Talking about a bunch of shift work
A big ol' pile of shift work
Work seven to three
Three to eleven
Eleven to seven

You hiring?? LOL

Bart I heard NDT is actually a pretty good job market to be in . I've got a buddy that is taking it in college right now and when he's done he'll be hired on the spot. What kind of education did it take for you to get the job?

I'm in my last year of Mining Engineering , graduate in the spring . They layed off 700 miners in January and another 3300 are on strike right now. Great f'ing field to get into. :grr: Hopefully the world markets pick up by next spring or I'll be moving and looking for work doing whatever I can find.

Try doing overall paint jobs on cars in a day in a shop with NO ac, the fans blow the paint dust all over you and by the time you finish sanding it and done doing body work your so tired you dont even wanna think about taping it and getting it ready to shoot.. Then being so tired after you shoot it, your so tired you damn near fall asleep driving home from work everyday.. I've zonked out at a couple redlights on the way home..

oh yeah then the next 12+ hour day, more like the whole week you have more cars to sand, tear apart, bang dents out and twirl doors, hoods and lift gates around by yourself..

Quit your biaching I'd love to do your job! :ermm:

I started out doing this. It is all I wanted to do...paint cars. Got a job in a regular shop and had to work on regular people's cars. Hated it and it was really tough work as you describe. Realized I only liked working on custom cars. After another ****ty job working at a hotel in Florida, I went to college and the rest is history. I graduated from college at age 25. Don't think it is ever to late to get started in school if you want to open up your options.

I hear you, I HATE working on junkers, cars that people have never washed.. I had a young kid take his truck mudding and brought it in for an overall, He was like " well it's getting repainted so I figured it didn't matter " I told him to take it somewhere else, most of the customers don't wash their cars before they bring them in either, it drives me insane.. There is a few custom shops here my game plan is if I don't make it in one of them I'm just going to do body work as a personal hobby and be done with it.. At least with the custom cars your work is going to be kept nice, I've spent hours on cars only to have them come back all tore up again and the customer wanting it fixed for next to nothing.. It's fun but some of the customers can be real hassles.. I've been thinking about getting a job at the local PPG store doing deliverys then working my way up to a higher position, they pay well and they are booming in my area ( 17 body shops in 4 towns )

But your right man, it's a tough job and it's REALLY under estimated, people think you can fix their car at the snap of a finger..

Things have really picked up for us over the last 3 months. I'm hoping that's a sign our trade is turning the corner. I hope things pick up for you as well.

Carefull there young fella, Us dumbass drivers keep little mouthpieces like you working. Those who cant drive em fix em. 16 eh? they probably only let you clean the windows and vacum the tractors for the big kids. You have a cute little step stool to top up the washer fluid too?

We were really slow Dec. 08-March 09. We actually laid 3 machinists off....it was the first time we had ever done that. Things began to pick up and now we have half the crew in here today on a Saturday. Things look good through the end of the year but after that who knows.

thats cute, Considering out oldest trucks r 05's (and those are out best?? other than the 07's) we dont do much other than service, fix lights etc.

however i have changed two fuel tanks do to drivers hitting curbs, changed plenty of blow outs, repaired many ac's, fixed a bumper that was broken from an accident, removed two hoods that were smashed, and so much more.

Here's a picture of some of the trucks sitting yesterday. (cell phone pic)

[KXRida]

haha jobs could always be worse....

ATV riders give me job security. haha but in all seriousness I worked my *** of through college to get where I'm at now, so I got out of it what I wanted.
