I've been with the same company for 23 years.  I've got a company car (currently a '00 Lightning), able to use shop equipment for my own projects (after hours), use the warehouse next door to our shop to store some of my projects (currently I'm re-building a jet-ski for the coming summer).  I take as much vacation time as I can get away with (last year I took off about 20 work days) and becuase I need to be reachable at any time, I get a company cell-phone.

Job?    :dunno:   PERKS?    :dunno:   :clueless:   :roflsmiley:   :smilielol:   :bigsmile:   :cooldancing: 



 :smilielol: :woo:  I hear that!


I do have a new 2006 duramax, 30 vacation days a year, as much time off as I can steal, 401, profit sharing, free fuel, motel and 210 a week for food. And all the other good stuff.

But like today, my truck runneth over with all kinds of leather gloves, kroil penatration spray, a box full of nuts, bolts, and washers of all sizes. Some steel to start building me a engine test stand, 500 sq ft of 1/2 conveyor belt, a 2 ton chain hoist. The place was glad I saved them 20 hrs off my work. So they just piled things on me. When I go to aluminum plants, I get big blocks of aluminum. I went to the hershey's choclate plant and got 50 lbs of free candy. Coors in golden colorado give me 11 cases of beer, but I didn't drink so I gave it to my helper. To me, my best perks are the platforms the plants make for me. It's a 4 ft quare sheet of 3/16ths steel chased on the borders with 3x3x3/8ths and the legs so I can have steel work tables at the house :2thumbs:

I'm waiting on an email right now to go to Blaine Wa, north of Seattle to work at BP for a week, they always give me a large safety bonuses and free dinners. But I got some snow to drive through.

I get grief, more work. Then grief, and more work. Is it any wonder I keep coming back for more?  :dunno:
