  1. What to do next with my life

    I started in the Motor division when it opened in plant 3. I worked with Dave Newton on the ODP motor line. Dave should still be in plant 2. Even when i was providing computer support, I did not spend much time in plant 2.

    Mike Latessa works in R&D and has a sweet Aprilla. I have thought about trying to start a Lincoln riders club. On nice sunny days, there is usually about 30 bikes parked out front.

    That is the funny thing, people hear you work for Lincoln, (with over 2000 people) and they ask if you know a certain person. Sometimes,but not always you know who they are talking about. I currently work with a former electrician, Roberto Flores.

    Thats funny I have been with Lincoln Electricfor 15 years also. Started in Mentor.

    So scottb you ever make it down to plant 2 anymore? Thats where I work, down in dept 37. Funny there is someone on here that works at the same place I do and I never knew it? So how many other people here work for Lincoln Electric? Learn as much as you can before you pick a job to jump into.

    No kidding, I had no idea. Who is it that you work for?

    I work for Lincoln Electric in Euclid as an automation robotic welding service tech. Welding robots are popular due to the lack of skilled welders. The only draw back is with the downturn in the economy, there is not much demand for manufacturing, excect for military suppilers. I started at Lincoln 15 years ago. I was a shop floor pieceworker, then moved over to computer support. I got a degree in computer networking. After 8 years of computers, I was selected for this robotic field support tech job.

    If your robot is not working correctly and we can not resolve the issue over the phone, once a purchase order is created, I'll come out to your shop and resolve the issue for you on site.

    In high school, I knew I did not really want to go to college,but I wanted to learn a trade. I like working with my hands. I turned down the Scripps-Howard full ride journalism scholarship to John Carrol . Instead, I went to General Motors tech school ( GMI) and became an auto tech. I worked in the auto field until 1994 when i was hired by Lincoln.

    I second the welding field. I work for a welding company and pipe welder are in demand. The drawback is that, depending on what you are welding, you will be outside if you are doing oil or gas lines. Hard skill to master, but the pay is great.

    I am almost 40 and had a few good jobs. I like working outside and not having a boss over my shoulder all day. If I could make money with photography or motorcycles, i would.

    I can see when i have my "mid-life crisses", I will cash out my 401k, buy a touring bike, and take pictures of the county.

  11. Bought some Absinthe..

    I have a bottle of Lucid brand absinthe. It does taste like black liquorish. It is definately a wierd tasting drink. I did not see strange things, but did get drunk. I would rather drink Firefly vodka or the now legal Junior Johnson brand Moonshine. My last trip to Canada, some beverages are sold premixed with vodka. I have a few cans of Rockstar energy drink mixed with vodka.

    Another Canadian brand is called Vex. Almost like a wine cooler, they make flavored drinks, mixed with vodka.
