Default New Job

Well, I start a new job tomorrow morning. Same company , but now I'll be the first new millwright moved or hired into Mech. Maintenance in 10 years. I was hired in 1978 to the Union Camp company Swamp Logging crew and started as a chain saw oper. for 3.90 an hour. I worked my way up to skidder driver then to fellerbuncher operator. I cut trees 14 years,did most all maintenance to the tractors and saws. In 1997 they shut the logging job down and I got in at the Paper mill as a spare to Maintenance Dept.In 1998 International Paper bought out Union Camp Corp. Jan 1st 2000 I took a permenant spot in the Sheet Converting dept as a Direct Loader , loading finished product into trucks or stacking in the warehouse.Iv had a transfer request in for Maint. about 10 years. Tomorrow I finally get my chance to shine.

Working your way up from teh bottom is the best way.
Good for you.

I did the same in my company and now I have knowledge that just cannot be learned from books.

Congratulations. I saw a program on Discovery channel about swamp logging, and that is some serious work. Glad you survived that and are moving on to bigger and better things (and more money to buy more toys)!
