which company? just curious because there is big plans here in Iceland for building a new aluminium plant.

By the way I'm a full time student studying Library and information science, and also work in a gasstation at weekends...

[img]smile.gif[/img] By day and night and weekends and holidays I am a licenced aircraft engineer for QANTAS. being Licenced means I inspect that work is propaly carried out to all the manuals and procedures and certify that its airworthy (747-767) Sounds good but sometimes you are working inside a "tin can" on the tarmac under a blazing 40 deg c sun with no air conditioning :(

Proud of our safety record and thankfully engineers not beancounters run the engineering side of things.

Davos, that particular American Multi-national Aluminum Company would happen to start with a "A" and end with an "a" would it? If so I live about 15 miles from one of their plants here in East Tennessee.</font>

Nah - I don't know what one of those things is that you are talking about - I work for an Aluminium company ;) - what is the Aluminum anyway and how is it made, and who makes it? ;)

What's this - your joking - that mob that makes that funny stuff you mentioned starts and ends with a "A" - hey, they have something in common with the company I work for after all :D .

Mouse 02-13-2003 08:57 AM

I work as a Subcontracts Engineer for a multinational Norwegian engineering company. This is not anything to do with actual engineering, but is involved with tendering and subcontractor contracts compliance etc. Basically this allows me to be hard (but fair) with my employer's suppliers and get reasonable bottles of whisky as Xmas prezzies to keep me sweet ;)

And some of you still labour under the illusion that I am a nice person [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]

I have been over there twice, and both times for work. I work on the refining side though - not the smelting side. The only refinery we have in the US is down in Texas - the 2 times I was over there I was just passing through on my way to or from Surinam and Jamaica.

Overseas postings are always a possibility though, and the money for those is FANTABULOUS :D

Seriously, though, hows the big new job at the new firm?

Timber Loftis 02-13-2003 05:59 PM

Good. Thanks for asking. 21st floor window office. Not huge, but the biggest office I've had. A large law firm like this is INSANE. We have a 24-hr dedicated word-processing staff 5 days/wk, and they work regular hours Sat and Sun. If my secretary is out for the day I can request one from the secretarial pool. I can send mine home at 5 pm and request a fresh one from the pool. I'm getting pads of paper with "from the desk of..." on them. I want books, publications, whatever, I just ask and I get a subscription. Craaaaaazzzzy. We even have our own library staff and document production staff - better than most Kinkos. 600 people work in the 10 floors we occupy in this building - and we have 6 other offices. :yikes:

Of course, I worked til 10 pm Monday and Tuesday, and went home at 6 pm yesterday only to be behind on work and have to drag in at 7 am this morning. Tonight I hope to get out by 7 pm if lucky. Trade-offs Trade-offs. :(

[edit] All of this stated, maybe you see why I have my hand up my butt. ;)
