Glad you found a job you like.
That makes it much easier to go in each day.

A lot of my friends feel I have unfulfilled potential and should have gotten a higher education but I think I've come to realize that I prefer doing stuff with my hands and body for now.
I started work in Norway for Tine which makes the Jarlsberg cheese, it happened to be in the factory that exported the most cheese to America at one time. Interesting job, I worked both in the creation process and packaging division.
Also worked as a baker in a hand bakery where I had to learn on the fly everything. I enjoyed the work but working only nights and the fact that wages weren't as I wanted I left that job.
I'm currently working in a concrete factory, which isn't as hard/tough as it sounds. We make concrete pipes for water/sewage. There I'm a part of casting all the pipes, welding metal reinforcements and eventual drilling of pipes.

It's not to say somewhere in the future I might not seek something else out but I'm content with what I have. I enjoy jobs where I can see the fruits of my labor and get a certain bit of pride when I see our products going into new road ways or as in my past jobs being eaten and enjoyed by people .
