Right now I have a gig in SC writing Firmware for Electrical Metering Products. I love my job and I get to do really cool things. I have worked for several failed attempts at GreenTech and I hope this thing works for me. My past job history is all over the place. I worked for 6 years in the control industry as a tech. That means I can run conduit, wire and work from your regular home AC to Campus Wide System. I am not refrigeration mechanic but damn close.
While I was working at IBM (I don't have good things to say about them) I was working part time at Lowes HW to make ends meet. I got to drive all the heavy lifting equipment. Driving a forklift is fun and dangerous as hell!
I have owned a three small cars: two beetles and the aveo. I have worked on my beetles as my Granddad owned a VW repair shop. So learned from the BEST! Thanks PawPaw! I also owned a truck and replaced the engine myself when it blew.
I usually work on my own cars out of necessity as the mechanic charges are too much and I can do the work myself. I had a new engine put into my truck (I hated the junk yard engine) and got a professional shop to do it. I really regretted it. I wanted to spend 3.5K to replace the engine and end up spending 6K and very unhappy with the work.
I want to upgrade my aveo as it's fun and I really want to promote small cars and matching the car for the mission. I live in the South where everybody's one-person SUV is in my way.
