Still would be in college
If you weren't working in this industry, what would you rather be doing?
- Thread starter MannDude
- Start date
That's only for 6 months a year though, the other 6 months you're stuck behind a desk or at a sorting facility.
I would rather work for Intamin. The sweet success knowing you've helped create a scream machine!

Tell that to my postman...
I asked what was up with this weird barcode the postal service put inside my mailbox. He said, oh don't worry about that, it's not for you.
Who is it for? It's to monitor him. No joke. They are installed inside random boxes along his route and needs to gun scan them daily. That data goes back to the borg and they use it to micromanage carriers.

Pre-growing season here in the northern hemisphere we'll have a group growing thread. There are a few us with serious garden/growing issues
True story, they do similar things in Grocery store. A friend of mine used to be the guy that mopped the aisles and such. Every once in a while when he's cleaning he has to go through and scan the barcode to say he cleaned it at this time. It's all data mining but dang is it tedious.
As for me, well... I guess I'd love to be a corporate business guy (more administration side though). Right now I'm all water resources engineering (besides for Catalyst that is...). I always hear Business majors are easier and personally I'd love to work in an office building with highly sociable people.
And of course I'd like to get into the actual Industry instead of living in the Academic side. Actually applying my knowledge to practice would be lovely, granted the Academic side is part of the reason why the Industry side actually exists
No shit? There was this conspiracy theory a while back that was comical, was debunked and super far fetched to begin with but it had to do with different colored sticker dots being randomly placed on mailboxes... I won't spoil the fun, and will let you look it up.

I've seen different coloured stickers placed on newspaper boxes (attached to mailboxes)... but those served the practical application of letting the paperman know what days said box received a paper.No shit?

Law enforcement, something to do with drugs and knife crime on our streets. As I have very strong views on the subject.
I'm the in UK, the Royal Mail isn't quite the same as the USPS by the sounds of things. The sorting office is considered a promotion, so you don't get shoved there if you don't want to; I've had the same postie for 2 years.
Here is Scotland, i get a different postie everyday lol.

I have a dream to be a self sufficient farmer.
Grow my own crop.
Raise some poultry and cattle in my backyard and some carp or tilapia mossambica in my pond.
Brew my beer.
Produce my own cooking oil from my coconut in the backyard
Produce my jerky, pickled or salted food for the rainy day.
Generate methane gas from manure for cooking.
Generate wind and solar power electricity.

For me, family. Not just the spousal unit and offspring, but also BuyVM - we're a pretty tight (albiet dysfunctional at times) family that just happens to be spread out a bit......so why don't you?
Aye, I'm aware plenty of soldiers have families. But the husbands in my old unit lied to their families about what they did; I value trust too highly to do the same.
