Magistr8 0 #1 March 6, 2002 Here I am at work on the lunch break getting feeding my addiction. All the other guys are finishing off a databackup. I have been looking into some of the rigs for sale on the site and "I am giving serious thought to eating you wife" ooh sorry that wasn't me what I meant to say was picking up one of the javelin rigs I saw on the site. I'm lucky with all the travel that I do I can probably make the trip down there to pick it up and test it on the Co card.What kind of day jobs do you guys hold down?Who ever said comming down from a high was bad obviously never tried this.Magistr8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schroeder 0 #12 March 6, 2002 I'm an environmental draftsman. It's an alright job considering my output vs. pay. So I aint complaining. I actually quit this company last year, moved away, moved back 6 months later and they re-hired me as a contractor. Contracting... that's where the money's at.....

lummy 4 #13 March 6, 2002 contracting.... Reminds me of that Dilbert cartoon where they get fired and rehired as a contractor at twice their pay...And the sad part is that it's true :)Make up your own ending,let me know just how you feel.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schroeder 0 #14 March 6, 2002 yeah.. it's great. My old co-workers were all pissed off... It gives me options too. I was thinking of starting a drafting contracting company and just manage it, hiring drafters to send out to various sites and locations. BIG mooolla in that. Hmmm.... I think I just re-kindled that idea..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
