Getting To Know the Community - What do you do for a living

[FoSHO99]

I work at IKON office solutions, an outsourcing company, I am currently stationed at Prudential Financial for the last 2 years working as a senior on site supervisor for mainframe printing. That's what my title is called but it's a little dramatic. I'm 21 and also going to college fulltime. Since I don't do anything at my job, I spend most of the time on forums like this.

I am the extrusions purchasing manager, and the export sales manager (strange combination of job responsibilities, I know) for an aluminum building products company.......masoncorp.com is our website. I've been there for 8 years. My wife is a loan processor for a mortage broker.

I work for the worlds largest ice company. Reddy Ice: Good times are in the BAG!

I am what they call a CSR. Basically I have my stores that have a ice factory inside them. I have my daily routes we set ourselves, and drive from store to store loading bags inside them, and making sure they work, and keep them clean, and do any repairs needed. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC.

These are what the machines look like inside the grocery stores

This machine is one of my higher volume machines. It produces anywhere from 1100 to 1900 bags a week. Of course it helps that the store takes VERY good care of it and stackes all the ice bags nice and neat as its produced. I do my job of keeping it running as flawless as I can. All of our machines up here produce 10lb. bags of Ice. I have some stores I have them set to make a little over 10lbs. Like 10.20lbs because the machine likes to slightly over fill it vs. under fill it.

A ice factory we installed not too long ago,

My handy plumbing and electrical work:

That is what its suspost to look like as far as room behind them goes. Many of them how ever have less than 11" between the machine and the wall. if you ever have meet me, and know how skinny I am, its job security for me, cause none of my other co-workers can fit behind them to service them or change the water filters.

I took these pictures so others could see what they look like inside the machine....
The control board inside the ice maker up on top:

The mother board, and all the other boards that control the functions of the bagger system:

with the control board dismounted so you can see more:

Inside where the bag gets filled, weighed, and sealed.

On the bottom, thats the scale that weighes the bags as they are filled.

Thats my job. Its a lot of fun...except in the summer...it tends to get a little stressful.
