I am down at the lake with the kids limited internet access. Look forward to getting back home to wrap up our discussion on Adam's science experiments with mice, my wife's weird gestational period and the problems we are experiencing with inbreeding in Kentucky.

Numbers + Blender = Accounting

Nah, there's not much to describe at my job.. well, I'm not actually working right now, I don't start work again until October, I'm still on Education leave...

Basically what I do is Audit though. I take financial statements from companies (Large, public companies that you know and love as well as smaller private companies..) and test every single thing on there to make sure that it's right. Companies require audits of their financial statements for capital markets (like NYSE or Nasdaq, or TSX in Canada) or for because their bank requires it. It's tons of fun

I am a big fan of smoothies, it's like getting all of your vitamins for the day in one batch. Then you don't have to bother with those ridiculous fruits and vegtables all day. Ridiculous. Blue Moon is my favorite. What do you think is in that one Taro?

[harvestgirl]

blue moon is yummy beer

What I do..... well as one of my coworkers puts it, I work for one of the two evil empires (Wal-mart being the other one of them). My company is the largest privately held company in the world and pretty much controls a large portion of the worlds food supply. My particular business unit is in the corn processing business and some products that you may be familiar with are corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup (the sweetener found in nearly every soda/beverage), corn starches, and a variety of cattle/livestock feed products. My particular role in this is that of a project engineer. When new construction/efficiency/product lines are thought up, I am the one that organized, manages, and implements these projects. My work includes designing various systems, ordering equipment/material, construction supervision, and commissioning the project once construction is complete. My current project involves the renovation of our old coal powered boiler that we use to generate steam for the plant. I currently supervising and organizing construction, which means I check the work that has been done and point out where the contractors have fucked up and tell them to fix it. The contractors I currently have working for me are of the boilermaker trade and are some of the roughest crews I have ever worked with. I would say with confidence that about 75% of them are ex-cons and the other 25% are probably future-cons. I have never had so many behavior problems with contractors in my life. I have to kick 2-3 guys off site every week for breaking our policies whether it's smoking in areas that are full of coal dust or coming to work so drunk that they get stuck in the walk-thru turn gate that you go through to get into the plant.

i can already imagine you on any jack white related online onsales/presales. I would've loved to have a cpu teacher in HS that loved the stripes and who would hold up class just for some 45's to go onsale.

Wow you pretty much control a large portion of the worlds food supply? You are definitely part of the "New World Order". I have worked with the Boilermakers too and your description is very accurate, most of them are on meth and we had fist fights on the worksite just about everyday.

You have no idea how much my company has to do with the worlds food. Below is a quote from an article about "Corporations That Control the Wolrd's Food"

"It is these corporations (my employer and our main competitor [which I used to work for]) that decide who will live and who will starve."

So don't piss me off, or else it may be your country that experiences the next food shortage.
