I work at a grocery store and hate it!!!! The management is terrible, pay sucks and 2 people I work with like to play manager even though they aren't and hopefully(at least as long as I'm there) will never become one. Really the only thing keeping me there is the health insurance.
I'm currently trying to find something full time but there isn't crap out there and I'm not doing temp. again.

I manage construction projects. I love to say I build things, but I don't actually building anything. I make sure they get built.
Sometimes we get to build pretty cool things....Latest:

I work for a major yacht manufacturer, building two brands and eight models of boats. We apparently build the best selling 38 foot plus boats on the market. Our facility is in the top 1% of the world as far as safety, we've gone 5,000,000 hours since we've had someone miss work due to injuring themselves. I've not verified any of that personally, but it's what I'm told.
Anyway, great pay and benefits, good work hours, I always have three day weekends, overall, I'm very pleased and lucky to be where I'm at.
I make the stuff that goes inside and out of this, so many parts it's hard to list.
I'm however looking to step over to another side of the whole business of boat making. It would be very cool, because I'd get to play a bigger part in the production, and as always, more responsibility equals more pay.

I work for UPS-SCS (SCS = Supply Chain Solutions), think of it as a part of UPS, with people like me at the warehouse doing deliveries, we're on-call 24/7, 365 days a year.
It's not that bad actually, the warehouse we have is a nice place.
Work day is from 0730 to about 1800, then the "Graveyard Shift" is from 1800 to 0730 the next day. And we (My step father, brother, and I) do it 365 days a year

So are you one of the people that's in charge of the logistics like making sure enough trucks go out and deliver things to other UPS locations or packages get routed to the right places to ensure that its delivered on time?
I toured a UPS distribution center facilities, and the amount of conveyor belts and automation is incredible. I just wish they have a way to know in their smart barcode when something is suppose to arrive so that if a package gets routed incorrectly, UPS knows to expedite that package to make sure it gets to the intended recipient as soon as possible.

Nope, we have no actual UPS drivers, we hold parts for UPS contracts, such as we're on a Hewlett Packard contract right now, we hold a ton of HP products from Hard Drives up to 200+ LB unknown packages :S
But we do get a driver that comes in during the morning hours from UPS to drop off packages for us to hold, until they're needed by one of the customers, then we either A) Ship it out via UPS picking up (Those are the ones that go cross-country or long distance) or B) Prepare the package for delivery by one of our drivers (In this case, my brother or father, but in the event we need to, we have contracted drivers too) or C) Hold the package at the warehouse for the Consignee to pickup.
Long story short, we don't have the goodies that UPS has at their warehouses and such, we're just contracted with them, It's a bit rewarding, our pay is a rather confusing thing, since we get paid via how many drives we do in a 7 day week period. But I'll be soon driving parts from our warehouse to other warehouses in the Bay Area.
(Realistically short, we don't operate with any of the main UPS work, we do our own thing, under supervision of UPS.)
