Mother, wife, cleaner of the truck. Worked in microminiature electronics for 12 years as an assembler, then went to the production office. Have had my own Native American store for almost 7 years, which is about to go under due to the economy. Working nights at Wally World to actually earn a paycheck. Have also done my time at Braum's, Target, Pizza Hut, etc... in my younger days. Hey Okiedokie! Nice to see someone else from NE OK. (Vinita)

I work for a family buisness (our 110th year), www.ocwhite.com . I am in Product Development, as well as Inside Sales. Our main line entials Industrial inspection, but we do have other markets. If any of you have ever seen the Howard Stern show, Imus in the morning, etc... they all use our microphone arm.

...Heh heh, Bartender...A beer for my friend with the correct answer... Industrial X-ray, Dye Penetrant, Magna Flux, Vacuum Leak and Hydro Test....even N-ray 'cept we send out for that but we read the film...One of the cool things about my company is that we do almost all aspects of NDT in house, and weve got ASNT certification for all of them...


Im guessing either you are or know someone in the Welding, manufactoring, machinists or production fields....
