you should be writting the books not printing them.My Job: Finishing Assistant
Where: Transcontinental Printing: RBW Graphics (Printing Factory)
What I do: Various things as a Finishing Assistant. When working on the pockets, making sure each one of them is loaded, and any papers that could possibly jam the machine have to be removed. All depending on that job, each section of the print could go by quickly or slowly so having multiple pockets ( usually 3, sometimes around 5 ) can either be easy or bothersome if it's going too quickly.
If on a loader, then making sure the entire part of the machine is fully loaded with each stack ( usually around 3000-6000 sections ) and just like before, making sure that any of the sections that could possibly jam the machine or cause rejects to come out must be removed.
When on the end of the line, could be doing a few things. Usually it's just piling down the orders onto skids. Getting them from the machine and then placing them in a certain order on the skid. After about 140 or so bundles ( about 1100 books or so ) remove the skid, call the people over with the computer who take it to shipping, and get a new skid ready to go. Each skid takes ~10 mins to do or so, I prefer doing this because it seems to make the time go by faster. When doing Mailing, it's essentially the same but each skid is different sized and if there are rejects made from earlier, then we need to add the re-ordered prints in the correct bundles since these are all inkjetted for customer's addresses, they all need to be together.
The few times i've been on the press... eh.... being the lowest ranked person there just means when the machine jams or rips the paper going through it, I sit there and watch while the rest of them fix the issue.
12 hour shifts, they vary from days to nights each week with 7 days a month and 7 nights a month. But I do work part time right now so I'm not always needed for those shifts. It's one of the better places to work here.... however it's not exactly a place to plan my own future at[/b]
fuck your like the only person i know who can right so much about being a photocopier, kinda made t seem interesting
My Job: Student (International Business School ftw in Groningen/Netherlands (http://ibsgroningen.com/ )) Failed for my eyes for the airforce so need to wait 2 years when I can laser it so thatswhy I chose to get a degree first at the university and I am working at a Callcenter

Its a pretty easy job sitting al day long and waiting till you get someone on the phone (spare time enough for games or msn/internet or something) And I get 10€ per hour for it. Sundays 200% so 20€ an hour. Its good for a student.

how far up north do you live?
its a 40k$ iglo with airconditioning
Its a large town thats getting full of retired people thats 20min away from a city, the mill closed down and house prices cut in half over the period of a couple years. People who live metro lives are in a whole new world of expensive stuff where you need a good education and job/career to have an average or crappy house.
The land that the mill took up is going to be replace by a college or something to attract younger people and lots of other stuff unless that idea was ditched.

Most likely yes, but since i see you're from Australia, it would go through our company over there, called TVH AustralasiaDo you supply parts to Coates?[/b]
Anyway, we sell to different distributors, and 90% of the pieces all over the world passed through us.
Does working on the corner count?
