Friday I have to go into work and sign some papers and get introduced to my coworkers and be introduced to my machine:D.The only bad thing they say is it's a littlewarm but hey atleast it will be warm in the winter.I have been doing research studies since I moved now atleast I have a stable job.Finally I will have some $$ for more parts for my motor swap.

I made it through my first week of work.It isn't bad at all there is 5 michines I have worked on so far training wise and like 5 or 6 more to learn beforeI can work on my own a switch from 1st shift to 3rd.The rubber pieces I make are for mostly car and truck suspenison rubber parts and I even made a rubber mold for a paint train car a rubber seal were it drains the paint they only make this like once every ten years.What does everyone else do at work?

check groceries...but hey i'm in high school. And i think that i'll be working at jiffy lube this summer.

No I just mold rubber and the machine is made to make only one kind of mold the press is old school no computer on them suckers.

sounds like a job from the movie 8-Mile

new jobs are always fun...hope it pays the bills

It is just like the job in 8 mile but mine press rubber not what ever metal they were pressing and just 1 person does it.

how much money are you gonna make? How many hours?

40hrs plus they are working Saturdays so 8hrs time and half plus if you make over rate they pay 50 dallars extra.they pay good is all I am going to say though.lol:D

He made car hoods. Congrats on the new job.

I have been working now for 2 weeks yesterday.Yesterday was my last training day now I am a full fledge employee.I have to work today which is Sat I already have my forty hours and today I am making overtime time which is cool.I work from 7am till 3pm today then I have to start the new week on my new shift thirds which is 11pm till 7am sunday night.The good thing about the new shift isI wil be able to post more on hcf when I am not asleep.Just though I would update you all on my new job....Nate

so with it being so easy.. duz it get boring? are ur co-workers nice?

Not really it isn't boring cause you are constantly working with the machine and trimming the rubber mold the machine makes.I am starting my new shift tonight so I will meet new co-workers the ones from first shift are super nice though.

good to hear. Do u rap when u work? haha

So I have been at my job for a month and 1/2 got my fork truck dl and a raise.Things are still going well and working hard for the company and getting the bills paid.

I haven't had a new job in quite a while. Dunno what I'm gonna do if I ever get fired or something. I've been working for an arcade for about 2 1/2 years now. Worked my way up to assistant manager. Kinda sucks because I'm more of a low key kinda guy and it's hard to stay low key when you're in a management position. All the suits in the company start having thier eye on you and whatnot. Oh well.

Running any kind of press can get boring and tedious, making the art, the plates or the molds are about the only fun you get to have, then it's hours and hours or running the press. Can't complain about the money tho.

congrats nate....i just got a job selling motorcycles yay me. lol

The boiler was down last night so half the night was clean-up.Easy night though.
