As a professional job switcher... My current gig I found on Craigslist though and boy are my knees chaffed. I keeeeed.
If you're half the fabricator with metal that you are with stories, yep, you should do your own thing. Buy a couple of machines and quietly run a shop from your garage. Cash only. Build hand rails window grates and small furniture. I could totally see you doing that.
So now that you mention it...hasn't it been like 2-3 months since this new job? Soooo...how are the interviews going?
Had a girl ask me that on a first date once at dinner years ago, started dieing laughing, and asked if this was a job interview? Then said" honey I don't know where I'll be in 2 months"! First and last date, lol
The gig up here in WA blew up in my face 6 weeks in and I was out of work for another 6 weeks. At this point I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried. Now I work for McLaren, hell I’m in Dallas right now for training.
What the heck. You should crowd fund a reality show. I would actually watch that. An intelligent, skilled, iconoclast making his way in the world. Is your wife OK?
She was not when the job took a turn but the 6 weeks off besides being wildly stressful were good for our relationship. So it’s not all bad. And I would not do well on camera, my foul mouth and brutal honesty don’t go over well with most people so I just normally keep to myself.
Dude, people watch a show about those idiot Kardashians. I think the Alex Show would probably be pretty good entertainment. You gotta admit the episode where Piper peed on Lori because she was so excited to see you would have gotten a few chuckles. If it does happen I was thinking you should probably get Chris Hemsworth to play me.
Buy random pieces of metal and weld up some abstract art. Figure out what a fair price is, then add two zeros to the end. Rich idiots buy that shit like crazy. The bigger and more ostentatious the better. Or just do what this guy said... I should've read the whole thread before replying.
Wasn't there some guy on here who said that he had a buddy who was hiring for that... umm... avocation? All you need is to pass a blood test. I suppose that that pizza delivery guy theme is pretty cliche in porn, though.
You know what they say about art. If you can't make it good, make it big, and if you can't make it big, make it red.
I think the absolute absurdity of my life would be mildly entertaining. Plus who wouldn’t want to laugh when dogs pee on people. Chris Hemsworth eh? You guys DO look mighty similar ...
Is that the race team/car manufacturer McLaren? If so, what are you doing for them and are you still staying in the PNW?
He could always play a weldor though. "I penetrate deep in all positions, and I'm here to fill some cracks in"
I think they call that artistic license. But there should be some benefit to getting in on the ground floor.
Yeah the car company. I am a lowly wrench spinner. I work for an auto group called Open Road Auto Group that’s now called Open Road Northwest. The group does Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini and McLaren. I only work on McLaren though. My boss/the dealership has some pretty big plans for my ‘McLaren career’. We’ll see how it pans out. I’m just trying to roll with it for now.
It’s ok, Robert Downey JR is going to play me. He needs to get some more tattoos and then I can coach him on how to interject “fuck” into every two or three words.
