Is Anyone Truly Working Today?

castpolymer · July 3rd, 2008, 10:41 AM

I am sitting in front of my desk and doing as little as possible. By the way, youtube has video of a dog jumping off a fishing boat and biting a decent sized shark some guy was reeling in. God bless the Internet!

Well, I'm sitting at my desk reading your post. Ha Ha Ha.

I'm the only one in my office today & it is very, very quiet. Might cut out early.....shhhhh

castpolymer ??!!

How about that resin market?? Will the increases never end? I love helping the salespeople prepare quotations that are obsolete in two weeks.....the pile of insanity on my desk never ends.

Working today? No. Thinking about work? Yes.

I need to take the kids to movie.

Teaching my first college class ever at 4:00. It'll be fun and I'm not stressing because I've been teaching high school for 5 years, but yes, I'll be working for real.

castpolymer · July 3rd, 2008, 11:08 AM

Wow, another lover of the smell of resin on a Tele forum! What part of our fine industry do you work in? I buy cultured marble casting resin by the tanker and I am still taking a increase every 3 - 4 months. My rep. came by the other day with one of those crappy " corporate presents." It was soap on a rope ( just kidding ). If you are looking for a good movie, The Hulk was pretty good ( I am also a comic book geek ).

ghosttour · July 3rd, 2008, 11:09 AM

Going to check out that dog bites shark video now...

fltpkr · July 3rd, 2008, 11:09 AM

Yep, four hours here, then to a gig this afternoon at Kruger's Farm. No more gigs for July as our drummer is off to Germany for three weeks to visit his daughter.

Tele Fan · July 3rd, 2008, 11:15 AM

Work? I'm at work but that don't mean I'm working.

sean79 · July 3rd, 2008, 11:15 AM

I'm working some - trying to wrap a couple things up before the weekend. But, I'm worried about those guys sitting around over at Bob's house.

petebradt · July 3rd, 2008, 11:27 AM

I work at home. My boss is the drummer in the band. He wants me to cook for his party on Saturday, I told him I had to go get ingredients.

He said "ok."

Tony474 · July 3rd, 2008, 11:36 AM

Yup. And tomorrow too - July 4 is just another day outside the USA. Well, nearly - I'm doing an "Independence Day" gig (i.e. any excuse for a booze-up) tomorrow night at a place well known to be rougher than a badger's butt. (Dicey Reilly's in Neasden

for all you UK connoisseurs). Remember me in your prayers!

Packaging Distribution.....materials and equipment. I'm a sales manager/engineer. If a printer needs to feed sets of paper onto backer boards and then send them through a high speed shrink system with a check weigher and auto stacker....(etc). I integrate the hardware and hopefully sell the consumables along with a maintenance contract. We do shrink, stretch, strapping, labeling, case erecting, packing and sealing. We do skin packs, blister, clam shell, poly roll stock, poly bags, bundling poly. We do Hytrol conveyor and integrate lots of toys with it.

I'm a 24 year packaging geek. I drove a forklift for a packaging distributor in college and never left the industry.

I saw castpolymer and my eyes bugged out.

Have a great day...take a long lunch.

GoldieLocks · July 3rd, 2008, 11:39 AM

I just finished a 17 hour shift as a truck driver. That sure felt like work

smitty54017 · July 3rd, 2008, 11:41 AM

I'm working today and tomorrow (the 4th). Next day off is Monday.

6942 · July 3rd, 2008, 11:44 AM

I'm working on my grill.....how do you like your burgers?

Frank_Kimball · July 3rd, 2008, 11:48 AM

Working at home, as I pretty much do at least 3 days a week now...checking work e-mail on the PC lapper with my left hand, pecking at the Powerbook with my right, and got my Thinline on my lap! Hot cuppa joe and the mood is chill...

numeric · July 3rd, 2008, 11:50 AM

Ughh, I still have to go to work today, and really really hope that I don't have to work tomorrow or this weekend.

Hey guys! Another guy here in the plastics industry - I do accounting, IT, and reasearch work for a plastics recycler, dealing mainly with polyethylenes.

Speaking of work, I'm on my lunch break right now, but it's been pretty busy today. Trying to get caught up so I won't be slammed on Monday.

castpolymer · July 3rd, 2008, 12:08 PM

Hey Coffeemutt, are you a big Love and Rockets fan? Truly one of the most underated alt bands of the 80's. I was lucky enough to see them twice in the 80's ( and once as Tones on Tail ). I met Dan Ash in a bar in Boulder and a few friends and I had some( ok, many ) beers with him. He was very cool and could drink like a Brit! He also let us pick up tab ( possible Scottish ancestory ). By the way, you should hear the Church's " Reptile " thru a DRRI with a Tele. Sweet!

pseudocat · July 3rd, 2008, 12:10 PM

I'm self-employed, so, yes.

And I'm working tomorrow, too (but just a little bit).

Glad some people paid attention in 1967!
