Wow, this thread has been around while. LOL
When I joined I was building campervans & motorhomes.
Since then I took a job as an assistant facilities manager & recently, when the company lost the contract to look after the buildings I worked in, the new company, asked me to join them & keep looking after the buildings I was with.
This got me promoted to full facilities manager & a 40% pay rise. I can't complain about that except that I now look after 6 office blocks, a multi level car park and 2 industrial properties one a warehouse, the other a transport depot.
I also share the workload with another facilities manager on the entertainment complex (foodcourt, pubs & movies) in Auckland city center as there is too much for one guy on that one.

I moved back from BC a few months ago, and got my old job back. So now Im a Hiway 9 Express dude again. I work at the Edmonton distribution center, which is the largerst H9 terminal. We do overnight and sameday LTL shipping to southern Alberta. I work the distribution shift, so we empty the Edmonton inbounds and then set it up for delivery in the morning. I do a little forklift work on the crossdock, and mostly do the paperwork and computer stuff up in the office and shunt some trailers when needed. Im like a coordinator and I go all night long, 5 times a week. Heres what it looks like at my work.
From the main street entry
Half of the Edmonton fleet standing at attention.
Looking down the crossdock from the office
What it looks like shunting a 53 foot trailer at night
Hard at work.
Im also a part time jigollo that works for breakfast.
