Biggest club I know is right here :-)

We are definitely the, if not the most active board here for as far as members helping out and hanging out in general, whether its a few or 40 :-)

Anyway, I suspect you're either talking about

Cecil. One of the coolest, nicest, most helpful guys you'd ever meet in your entire life.

The late, forever remembered Jay Bower. The funniest guy this side of the Mississippi.

Or Jon. Kinda quiet, but knows a lot about building race engines. And I mean A LOT!!!

Anyway..... I would suspect that Heath (4MULA88) was chordally inviting you to take at look at OUR club (he and I are members). Perhaps you’d be interested. You’re more than welcome to meet any of us and check it out. We are always welcoming new people, unless you **** us off.

BTW.. for some reason the link didn't work for Heath.

I've been trying for the past four years to get a car club off and running. It's a pretty open forum with the exceptions of foreign crap. I've dubbed it Evolution, car & truck club.

Too bad everyone that wants to be in my club is always busy

slim84maro

hey aj and frmula. i just checked it out. looks good. im thinking about joining but ill get back to you guys when i find a job so i can have some money and stuff. anyone know about any jobs around will county and grundy county area? i really need a job. im about to go work on a barge and i dont really want to do that.

AJ_92RS

I work at BASF in Joliet (actually Channahon) and right now there's a production operator position open. There are 4 guys in movements (which is what I do) that have passed the test to fill that position. I just took the test today, and if I passed that'll be 5 guys.

Anywho, if one of us gets the job there will be an opening in movements (aka Logistics Operator Position).

What does it involve? Moving train cars around the rail yard using a locomotive or a shuttle wagon, unload and load trucks, and clean train cars.

~$12-13/hr.

12 hrs a day, rotating shift from 6 to 6.

Week 1
Mon & Tues Days
Wed & Thurs Off
Fri, Sat & Sun Nights

Week 2
Mon & Tues Off
Wed & Thurs Days
Fri, Sat & Sun Off

Week 3
Mon & Tues Nights
Wed & Thurs Off
Fri, Sat & Sun Days

Week 4
Mon & Tues Off
Wed & Thurs Nights
Fri, Sat & Sun Off

Then it starts all over again.

Benefits are pretty good. I don't know if you read my post about the GM Supplier Discount, but we get that, along with discounts from Nissan, Dodge/Chrysler, Ford, Subaru, and on Dell Computers.

The insurance plans are pretty good, but thanks to our dick head governor requiring malpractice insurance for doctors, health insurance took a pretty big jump this year (going into 2005).

There are 8 Holidays with pay. If you're scheduled off that day you get 8 hrs straight time. If you’re scheduled to work on a holiday, it's automatic overtime (1-1/2) plus the 8 hours holiday pay; same as working 26 hrs straight time. If you work overtime on a holiday it's basically double time (they word it differently in the corporate world) plus holiday pay. It's the same as working 32 straight hours, but you only work 12.

There are also what they call "Floating Holidays" which you get to pick 2 days of the year (doesn't matter when) and you get paid 8 hrs holiday for them. They did that for people that are used to getting holidays like Martin Luther King Jr. day, Yom Kippur, and holidays like that off. Instead of having to "honor" those days, they just turned them into 2 floaters that you can use whenever you want.

You also earn 6.67 hours of vacation time every 4 weeks, max of 80hrs /yr. What's nice about that is on your week where you only work Wed & Thursday, you can take those two days off ( 24 hrs vacation) and actually have 7 days off. Plus you can roll over 40 vacation hours into the next year. So you could actually accumulate 120 hrs vacation time for one year if you want. That's 10 days off. If you wanted to take those consecutively, and since you actually only work 7 days in a 2 week period, you could actually have 3 weeks off in a row.

And trust me, they let you do that. There are guys that have been there more than 10 yrs who take 1-1/2 to 2 months off at a time.

Anyway, if you're interested and one of us gets the job as a Production Operator, I'll let you know where and when to apply.

Some of the requirements (that I know of) are; you have to be 18yrs old, have a HS Diploma or a GED, a valid drivers license, and drug free.

slim84maro

ok im really really in need of a job i just went out to hodgkins,il and filled out an app at certified warehouse to work in the warehouse. they might call me back might now but knowing my luck they never will. and in about 2 hours im going to some autobody paint supplyer shop to try getting a job delivering paint. but if i can get a job at that place then hell yeah. o and find out if the "really do" check for a dip or ged. i know some places say that the require it but then they dont ask for you to bring proof. cause at this moment im in the process of taking my ged and i need a job now because i cant stay at my parents house anymore and i got a car to pay for.

AJ_92RS

They never asked to see my HS Diploma. :shrug:

I would guess it's one of those "if he says he has it...." things.

But yea. When I find out more I'll let you know.

I'm working tonight, Sat night and Sunday night. I'm waiting for tonight so I can go in and find an email that says if I passed the test.

It's an internal email system so there's no way for me to tell from here.

TTYL

slim84maro

yup.
thanx alot man im really in need to find something.
i have a last resort but thats a last resort because it isnt exactly something all that great. pay sux and prolly so does the work.(the barge job) you get payed by the day. but i can have that job as soon as i want it.
i went to the auto body place and they are not hiring but are accepting apps. so i filled one out. maybe but nothing promised.

ontogenesis

got everybody in our neck of the woods posting on this one...been a while since i've seen the k3 posse active

nice to see you got a job aj, is the mrs. still working at the book store? how's your son doin? is your finger still held on by a rubber band? how's the 2nd gen? how's the 3rd gen? ....the military is ok, everything is "hurry up and wait" we'll bust *** for two hours and wait around three hours for someone else to get something done so we can continue...but hey, it pays the bills. ND is cold man, real cold, stay in IL, trust me.

slim84maro

the k3? i think that road is right down the street from me. if thats what your talking about.

AJ_92RS

No. K3 is Kankakee

You can't say KKK because that might get you shot.

It's also know as Tri-City, Tri-K, Key-Land, and River Valley.

Thanks Elmer. It's nice to finally have a job. My finger's doing well, and is using my natural ruberband again, sorta. I have limited movement with it by itself. I can only straighten it with the help of my middle finger. But it's cool. At least it's better than it was.

Everything is at a stand still right now with the cars. Working, making money, and getting ready to work mainly on the house. Once we get it "done" (it'll never be), A garage will be next. 12' ceilings and a car lift is in my future.

Glad to hear you're doing well. Fly High!!!

AJ_92RS

That job is up.

If you want to apply let me know. You can email me at aj_92rs@msn.com and I'll tell you how.

I'll PM you as well.

slim84maro

kewl but i kind of this i found something else while i was waiting. i have a second interview the 30th at carquest warehouse in romeoville. i think i got the job but thank for helping me out. if this doesnt workout like i think it is then ill contact you and see whats up. thanx for the help tho.

AJ_92RS

Well. There's nothing wrong with applying anyway. :shrug:

But it's up to you. Let me know.

And if anyone else is interested let me know. I never limit opportunity to just one person.

Nikole

slim84maro
