I helped plants grow and killed s hit!

I remember the men who worked out at Carbon Black kept a bunch of beater cars a mile of so outside of town. They'd swap their good cars for a beater then drive it out to the plant. Girl I knew used to live over in Borger near their plant. She said if you hung the diapers out on the clothes line, they'd be black in about a couple hours. Kudos for dudes who worked in one of those places. I spent 34 years in propylene oxide and phthalic anhydride units.

Civil Engineer (transportation) - been transitioning into retirement over the last two years. I'm supposed to be 'on-call' for when they need me, but they don't call anymore. I think maybe I'm officially done...

Pimp.

pointer,

I do whatever Sue tells me to do.

Lab tech 20 yrs ago.
Not anymore.
Diff job and hope to be retired in a few years. Had enough.

IT Project Manager ... Database and ERP systems.

Field service technician injection molding machines.

Retired porn star, it's been a long time coming.

When I first started working there in 87 it was a pretty loose operation. Very little concern for the environment. Black flying everywhere. You definitely didn't want to drive anything nice to work. Over the years the EPA really came down hard on the Carbon Black plants. We had a bathhouse on site and a laundry service so it kept bringing home black to a minimum. They also paid us 1/2 hour overtime every day to shower.

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Oh Geez, not this [bleep] again. Isn't there a 134 page thread already on this subject? Oh,wait...COVID.

Go back to page 1 and see how many guys are still regular posters. Pretty cool.

Public Works Director

Hope to retire in two years and go back home and return back to retirement. Need to payoff my daughter’s medical bills from her massive surgery back in March 2022. Her health and quality of life are much better now.

The surgery billed insurance $1.5 million. Her portion should be all paid off by then.

I also am a retired school administrator. I started out as a classroom teacher but moved to administration to pay the bills. Glorified complaint department. Dealing with adults who all remember how it was when they were in elementary school. Most think the student handbook does not apply to their little darling (tho they signed to signify they had received and read a copy). They have no idea how their children behave in front of a peer group. I worked in the Mississippi Delta, Central Mississippi, and Choctaw Tribal Schools. I gained a reputation as a troubleshooter for failing schools. You go in, use common sense, instructional time on task, place your best teachers in the K-3 to give them a foundation in reading and math, control discipline to protect the learning environment. Sometimes it is best to terminate some who refuse to work. If you’re working for an elected superintendent of education, you will be blamed for for making changes and terminations. You will have to move on to another district and things will return to the way they were or worse. Change is wonderful; implementation is hell. Now I spoil grandchildren, make things, and shoot rifles off the patio. Learning to walk again after nearly dying multiple times with the Wahun Flu. No I never took the so called vaccine because there’s no way in hell a drug company can develop and fully test a vaccine in less than a year. It belies common sense. Love my country but don’t trust our government. Y

Used to clean up train wrecks. With occasional forest fire, flood, hurricane, and chemical spill clean ups, too keep it interesting.

Retired. triple dipper. Army , DoD , and now collecting SS.

About the same, union pension, teachers retirement, SS. I’m very fortunate, I build crap to keep busy, make FO money.

wtf? dredging up a 20 year old post to respond with a short, pedestrian answer? Geez

I fish pretty near every day……
