Great news guys!
Well the shop I work at is slowing down due to high fuel prices .
Which means they are cutting jobs.
For those of usthat don't get cut , it means training.
Since I'm one of three welding techs in the shop I will be looseing my job as
a final assembly welder for awhile and training new welder for about 5 weeks.
I can't wait , this is gonna be great standin around drinkin coffee, lookin at weld joints
and sayin , yep your almost there keep tryin.
Ahh the life of laziness .
Finally karma is not kickin my butt.

Then after you have trained him, they get rid of you and put him in the position at a fraction of the cost...careful what you wish for.
Sorry, hope I don't jinx you, just expressing my concern as that would be my luck of the draw it seems.

RE: Great news guys!
Nah , Not goin happen I'm the second best welder in the shop rankings.
The ranking are done by leak rate and quanity.
So they really like me.
Besides it takes a year or 2 before they even get close to my skill level.
I do feel bad for all the people cut , but they'll be rehired in the spring.
This is a big slow down , but it's been goin on like this for awhile.

RE: Great news guys!
Woligator , I build cooling units for gas absorptionrefidgerators.
I know sounds boring , but it very tedious work at times.
If ya own a camper or RV theres a 50% chance that you own one ofour fine products.
The only problem I have with my job is it gets old doing the same thing every day.
Butwhen I'm training or trouble shooting other welders problems it can get fun.
