well, I just can't be the guy that is stuck dealing with a shop that lost half it's employees overnight.
Nawlmean?
If my group won LotoMax or 649, there would be a vapour trail behind me as I went out the office door. I would probably phone in my resignation, or better yet send a text or an email. :kissass:

I would give 2 weeks or maybe a bit more. Even if I won millions. I would really-really try anyways  :cheesy:

I would give 2 weeks.

Then proceed to do exactly dick for those 2 weeks.

If I was still at the old place, I'd buy it. I'd make people do all the shit they had me do until they quit due to it being impossible. Then turn it into a gay bar.

Most recent PowerBall winner was from Fresno, and delooch stood me up last week, plus he hasn't been around as much...  :homer:

locksmithing, woodworking (like cabinet & furniture making), welding, electrical work, tile work

Worked with a locksmith during the summer of 1972, summer job. American lock employee, I made 7 copies of every key the locksmith made for the Holiday Inn across from the Watergate Hotel in DC. It was this hotel that the robbers stayed while breaking into the Democratic headquarters in the WG, while we where making keys. James R.(&(*& was the man who changed the locks on the DNC HQ after the breakin. Just a little history. Yes, check locksmithing out. No keys but as joe said locks still exist but more hitech. No with the woodworking, furniture making thing. You'll spend days making a chair that you would never acquire the cash needed to cover your labor and overhead. Welding--boring. electrical is a pain in the ass. I know 2 master tile setters and there is plenty of hard labor involved. In my area mexicans have just about put those guys out of work.

Proper welding isn't boring in my eyes. Problem is nobody wants to pay for quality unless it's mandated.

Were you describing prepress? I thought so.

I got an offer for a f/t job. Prepress & design. Company is tight, owner said they stay pretty busy, shop is all digital and is the cleanest shop I've ever seen in my life.

Yay or nay? If I accept I'll personally fund this entire site to keep it online.
