According to "Jonsgirl" I am apparently a house-bitch, that is I am a stay-at-home dad. However, my son just started preschool and I am now looking for work. Not a great time to return to the job market, but so it goes.

I am 25 years old.

I work on an 8 Colour Flexographic Printing Press, We use to have a contract with Humpty Dumpty Chips. We printed the bags, Lamintaed the foil that you see inside the chip bag and then slit the rolls and then ship them out to be made into actual chip bags.

We do all kinds of other food bags, Coffee bean bags etc etc.

It can be an ok job at times, But in the summer time it's brutal working on those Machines in the Humidity.

ananayal 09-02-2003 12:31 AM

I work for a great company. I did three years of college majoring in Rubber Engineering Technology, Polymers, and Mechanical Engineering. A year short of finishing, I just decided I didn't want to go into that field. Four months ago, I got hired into Yoplait/Columbo and I do various jobs there. Basically I'm a factory slut. I make the cups the yogurt goes into, I work on the machine that boxes the yogurt... and so on. Great job, and better pay then I could have gotten with my degrees.

If you are travelling and want to know where to stay and get High Speed internet while on the road, just visit www.guest-tek.com/hotels.html, if you get ahold of me on here or IRC before you go, I may give you details on how to get free access...
