well I'm laid off again :x
I was an engineer/gis person in natural gas for several years before getting laid off.  I then got a job as a substitute custodian at the elementary school where my wife teaches, I was laid off again several weeks ago.  Anyone know of any engineering or gis type jobs in central Ohio?

i am broke for a living haha.. i go to school at University of Minnesota Duluth and work at local state park for the DNR during the summer. which is funny because the guys i work with there, were the same guys trying to catch me jumping off of a 88 foot tressel bridge in the park. had a good laugh first day of work. but most (almost all) my cash goes to bikes, sleds, and jet ski.

I work for the Trial Courts of Massachusetts in the maintenence dept.I love parking my truck in front of the court house with my K5 tied down in the back,so all the Environmental Police can get a GOOD look.I know all the judges pretty well,so if for some reason I ever do get caught riding somewhere I'm not supposed to,it'll be squashed the next day at work!!

spent 6 years as a Navy corpsman, no navy jokes here, all with 1st Marine Division and the School of infantry.  Now im doing the starving student thing and working at Lowes.  hoping in a few years it will pay off with a mechanical engineering degree, so i can continue with my sick addiction to dirt bikes.

This looks like an interesting topic to revive.  I found a few of the active guys, but I would love to know what everyone else does.  I own a The UPS Store franchise in Edmond, OK.  We specialize in packing items, shipping, freight, printing, mailboxes, and retail shipping supplies.
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

I do my own thing with a tanker. Just me and 1 truck.Liquid Tank Owner Operators LLC.
Business is slow due to lower oil prices, and the the bigger companies are running their trucks cheap. Anyone have an in with a chemical plant or refinery in Ohio NY or Pennsylvania?
