My comment is about the awesome weldors that contribute here. How nice it must be to use your creativity in your job and hobby! I'm going to whine here for a second. When I was in the 3rd grade, and computers were almost unheard of, I said when I grow up, I'm going to work on computers! So.........for the last 21 years of my 43 years, I've worked in the large mainframe computer environment. I've lived the evolution of large computers, and the birth of the PC, to what it has become today. Having said all that, I'm technologically burnt out. I don't use any imagination or creative thought in doing my job, just mainly logic. In the old days, you needed an electronics background when we fixed things on the component level, now you don't even need that. The best part of my job, is the environment. Rain, snow or sleet, or the HEAT of the hottest day, mainframe computer environments are always below 70 degrees. Most of the ones I work in, are **** near freezing. I have to wear a jacket, if I'm going to stay in there for any length of time.
You guys/women create every day!!!!! You have an idea and make it happen! I truly admire the talent of the people here, and I'm deeply envious. So much to the point, that I'd be embarassed to attempt some of the stuff I've seen here. You see, I'm a perfectionist in my work, and that's a blessing and a curse. Anyone who's a perfectionist knows exactly what I mean, and there are plenty of them on this board! It's great to do work you consider perfect to your own standards, (or your employer) but if you fail the frustration is horrible. And the other downside is that it hardly fits in today's economic world. I'd probably work for Mike Sherman a day, before he said "Don, your work is good, but you're too **** slow!" Just kidding Mike!!!, I only used your name because I knew you employed weldors, of which I'm not anyway.
Sorry for the long message, just my thoughts.
