What Do You Do For a Living?
I am a manufacturing engineer for a small machine shop. I pretty much machine prototypes from a customers design or idea and once the prtotypes are approved I then come up with a process to produce the most parts in the quickest amount of time on the machinery that is available for the job. If we don't have the right machinery for the job I then have to do a cost analysis to see if buying a new machine tool will pay for itself and if so how long will it take. Once the process is approved I fixture up all the machinery and cross my fingers that all the work I did on the CAD/CAM system really works on the machines. A lot of number crunching mixed with a lot of hands on. So far so good.

I started my company 12yrs ago after being pulled into a meeting, informing us that the "Powers that be" were closing our doors.
My company provides IT (computer guys/gals) people to mid-range bussinesses to work with various systems, and daily support of workstations.
SCO/UNIX, AIX, NT, Visual Basic, MS Access, Bla Bla, PC's, dumb terminals, and voice/data cabling
my nick name <b>TrunkSlammer</B> is used to describe a computer guy who works from the trunk of his car.
Thats how I started.

Papermaker in an "old" paper mill in Jay Maine, for now. As more paper is made overseas and the economy shrinks, the "job" isn't that stable at present. Will stay away from the manufacturing sector next time around.
