I'm a field superintendent of construction for a company that builds high end mall stores. I mostly build Victoria Secret's.


So, can you hook me up with a meeting with Adrianna Lima? lol

I currently work at our local Ace Hardware.

I spent 8 years working security at a Chemical Plant until I got laid off in Jan of 2012. It was a good job with good pay and benefits, but when the plant was sold the new owners laid off all the higher paid workers and kept the new hires. I then spent a year and a half at Lowes but they kept cutting hours until I was down to 27/28 a week so I got the job at Ace.

I like Ace hardware stores. You can actually talk to someone that knows a bit about what they sell. Has come in handy a few times.:thumbsup:

I've worked at quite a few jobs. Graduated high school in 1960 and went to work at a machine shop that manufactured the pumps (not the pump jacks) for oil wells. Then I operated a service station for a while. Then I managed a service station for several months. Then worked at another machine shop, then a super market, then ran a bread route for about a year, then back into a super market, another machine shop that manufactured the pump jacks for oil wells. Then worked 11 years delivering petroleum products for Gulf. Then ran a propane delivery truck for a couple of years, worked for a cement contractor for a while, and worked for a construction company building a US post office. Then worked as auditor/supervisor for a convenience store group. Then spent the rest of my working days as installation and repairman for service station gasoline/diesel equipment starting in 1985. Retired in 2004, but went to work as a greeter for Walmart for a couple of years. That's almost all of the jobs I had during my life.

4th generation bridge builder, 25 yrs at that until my Dad died, and his brothers decided they wanted to retire. It was too big for me to buy, new owners shut down the bridge end of things, now I manage their Concrete plant, pre-cast business.

Less stress than bridge building, no deadlines, inspectors, EPA, weather, high water, buried utllities......finally I can sleep at night.:icon_thumleft:

I miss the new job locations 3 or 4 times a year, but it's a good job.
