It pretty interesting the work histories as well as what they do, Some of you are proper BC Rangatangs. Do remember the cartoons? I loved the Rivtow Straits calendars.

Pretty good gig overall, but nice to be rooted now, not having to move every 4-5 years.

Really depends on which month/year as it changes each year on a 4 year cycle, we work 20 days on 10 days off, 20 on 10 off, 20 on 30 off, 30 on 10 off and once a year we get 52 days off......and we keep no scheduled hours I can work 12 hrs today and by 3am the next morning I'm working another 12 so....in the end we work about 7 months a year.
One good thing is I can tell you what days I'm working for the rest of my life ! Don't believe everything Alex tells you !!!!
I'm a machinist, started in a shop in Langley in 1993 after moving down here from Valemount as a 19 year old looking for work. Ran turret lathes in the first place I worked, then was hired at a bigger shop because of my experience on those old machines as they were a dying breed by then. Moved onto working on manual milling machines and regular engine lathes and eventually onto CNC stuff thru my time at that shop. Couple stops at other shops since then and still doing it. Been at my current shop for almost 17 years, now programming and running 2 medium sized lathes with 21" chucks and a smaller machine with a 12" chuck as well as a CNC mill. I've made parts for the space station, Boeing aircraft, Kenworth, BC Transit, and a multitude of other areas in forestry, oil and gas, medical, mining etc over the years
Random jobs through highschool and after. Then was with a hunting/fishing wholesaler for 7 years, then parts guy with Polaris for a few years, then sales with the local radio station for 2 years and now have a marketing desk waiting under the stairs at Spectra for me when I heal up.
Brick laying/commercial landscaping through university to pay the bills, then got a job as a bank teller, lucked my way into a back office job in banking administration for a private investment management company after that and made the jump to investment management (buy side) 5 years ago.
Very cool mike31154! Those are some great pics!
