When asked: “What do you do” Well, what I do is an interesting concept.
My present position is that of a Manufacturing Engineer. That's just a title. I work in a factory. That’s the short version.
Here's the longer story:
At this job, that I currently have,
I was hired as a designer, for new products. (Solenoid valves) and moved into a design engineers position. Then I was moved to the manufacturing dept. as a tool designer. Then I was put in charge of a waste water treatment system, and a Passivation Department. So, then they made me responsible for all the environmental procedures. And with that came Health and Safety. But at any time I could be working on creating/designing fixtures or products. It’s a busy day, filled with different things every min. Meetings, lots of meetings, but mostly I’m just an answer man. I know a lot about stuff that most people have to look up. I just kind-a have the answer off the top of my head. I don’t work weekends, and I have 25 paid vacation days off a year, 10 paid holidays and 3 personal days! (I never get sick but I have sick days too) So, when you ask, what do you do? I smile to my self and think about fishing. I love the water, and everything about the ocean. I love to fish! And take photographs. That’s what I do best. That, and boat. I have a 23 foot hydra sports. Walk around, hard top, 250 e-tec, 150 gal gas tank. Bought it new in 2005. I keep it on a mooring in a small cove. The cove is at the mouth of the CT river, so in a few mins. I’m in long island sound. 45 mins to long island, NY. 45 mins. to Rhode Island, and 1 ½ hours to the block. Pretty sweet. Once you get out on the water and you pass through Plum Gut it’s truly amazing. You just can’t stop smiling! A summer day, and a calm sea, and it’s an adventure that takes you by the heart and never lets you forget that you’re alive!
I live two blocks from the water in a small 3 bedroom cape. I rent from a lady that owns the house, she moved in with her boy friend who owns his own house, and now she’s going to rent out a room in the top floor here. I have my own bathroom, washer dryer, and bed room. I share the kitchen and living room and basement. I’m hardly ever home. It’s always clean and neat and organized. At this point it’s the best place in the world for me. I’m 5 mins, from my boat and ½ mile from my time share. I use the resort (time share) a couple of times a week, but never actually stay there. No reason too, I live down the street!
I think about pictures, that they tell the world what I see and vision. I am passionate about life, and most of my activities. It’s all good, even the adversity. I don’t have much money, but I’ve never been bankrupt. I get by, sometimes I wonder how? It’s strange how everyone is connected, and yet no matter what, we all feel the same emotions as we go through life, doing what we do.
