Yeah I estimate 80-100 jobs a year, and manage 30-50.

Sell rate depends on how busy we are. If our shop is empty, we get low and sell a lot. If we are busy, we jack prices and go for home runs or nothing.

Good concrete guys cut out a huge part of my job, because good concrete makes a smooth job for everyone else.

I love my job right now! I'm a nanny for my kiddo Summer (3 years old) and occasionally help my friend out and nanny for two other kids named Sam & Leo. (Twin 2 year olds). I spend most of my days picking them up from their house and dropping them off at day camp and then just kind of dick around until later in the afternoon when I pick them up. Depending on the weather, we usually go to parks and/or pools. But if it is too hot or too cold, we go home and I play games or watch movies with them. It's great cause I can bring my laptop with me to use when they're napping and I get paid to annoy you all on the board. The schedule is a little sporadic but I get paid for the time between when I drop them off at camp and pick them up because I'm essentially on call, so I can't complain too much. I also have been helping out at the Preschool and working the desk for them on Thursday/Fridays every once in a while because the families don't need me then. FUN TIMES.

My degree is in Education. One of my friends in college became a nanny after she graduated. It was a really sweet gig. They paid her a much better salary than teachers make, put her up in a nice house near theirs, and supplied a car.

We work hard to make sure the anchor bolts are dead nuts. We just did a job for a 1 million SFT facility and there were 1200 sets of anchor bolts, all with 4-8 anchor bolts each. We requested copies of the anchor bolt surveys and didn't get one call back to fix anything. Which was huge for us. We are too busy right now to have to go back and fix shit.

I talked to the Steel PM a month ago and asked him and he said there were like 6 anchor bolts that needed to be adjusted but they were so happy with all the rest they just took care of it rather than have us back to fix anything.

We have one GC who also claims to do concrete. They always miss AB's, have footing elevations wrong, etc... They are a good customer, so I can't tell them they suck at concrete.

IT IS SO GREAT. If you find the right family, of course.

But almost every nanny I meet has great perks with the job. My family asked me to go on vacation with them at the end of the month, and I almost said yes but I have to move on the first and they wouldn't have come back in time. It's definitely cool when you find people that treat you like you're practically family. The mom is a freelance interior designer too so if I ever get sick or need a day off, I can get it off SUPER easy.

BIG FAN.

How'd you get into steel when you majored in education?

Ben @ 3/7/2018 9:22 I do like my job, my days fly by and the people are by in large pretty good to work with. Ahoda @ 3/7/2018 9:36 I like my job. I'm either bored off my ass or so swamped I don't have time to take a piss. Read the OP, I wanna know EVERYTHING

your clearance says you're not need to know.

I worked steel (Hands on welding, fabricating) from the time I was 14 until I was about 27. I went back to school, taught for 2 years, and liked it, but couldn't support a family on it. I quit and took a job in a biorefinery that paid about 3x what teaching does, but I hated it. DId it for 4 years and my wife said she appreciated the sacrifice, but I was a miserable bastard to be around, so I should go do something I didn't hate. I went back to the steel biz as a pm/estimator, took a paycut at first, but could still make an Ok living at it. Been back at it for 10 years.

I’m a hustler.

I already forgot if I voted yes or no.

I teach geology to people who don't care and are only taking my class for the science requirement, at a school that definitely wasn't their first choice, in a state where the word 'science' is sometimes seen as a curse word. I also make about the same as the day shift manager at the mcdonalds, with significantly more contact hours and student loans than they have.

Also, I love my job.

I'm the night assistant manager at Walmart.

I work 8PM to 8AM, Monday-Thursday. General responsibility is making sure the truck I am assigned to is completely thrown, backstock is inventory prepped, clutter is all taken care of and organized and the grocery side of the store is zoned to completion. Typically I will throw the General Merchandise truck which ranges from 1800-2500 pieces. Sometimes we will throw the Grocery load instead if the unloading assistant manager believes it to be more efficient for us to do so. We use to throw the Frozen and Dairy trucks as well, but we very recently stopped doing that with this new "program" that rolled out which makes the day shift take care of it. My crew is scheduled for 9 to 10 people but is usually less with call-ins and vacations. Twice a week I have a support manager who helps lead the crew, once a week I have another assistant manager with me. My guys all go home at 7 and I will tour with the store manager from 7-8 where she will point at many things and tell me what I did wrong.

We're a 24/7 store so I have a night CSM who runs the front end. Usually only have one at night which gets VERY annoying. The store is busier than you would think it is at night so I have to stop what I'm doing to help out up there quite frequently.

I'm also over an overnight mod team who sets up new modulars around the store Sunday-Thursday. And the overnight maintenance team who waxes and scrubs all the floors.

Other "managerial" shit I'm in charge of besides just throwing freight: the "SPARK" check where I ensure the Fresh areas of the store were cleaned and closed properly, the powered lifting equipment checklist where I ensure the walkie stacker, electric jack, scissor lift and forklift are safe for operation the next day, closing down the gas station by emptying out the tills and counting out the money to send off to the bank and verifying that all store keys are in the lockbox.

The general idea of the job is easy, where it gets annoying is when people leave shit for overnights to take care of which cuts into our time. I end up getting in trouble for a lot of things I have nothing to do with.

I'm not in love with the job but tbqh as stressful as it can be sometimes it's not overly difficult and I make very good money considering what I'm doing. The three days off in a row rule and I only have to see my boss one hour a day before I go home.
