Hey guys, got a question for anyone that can help... I recently got hurt at work (Sept 8th, crushed my left foot with a forklift during training). I am going to be looking for a new job when all the bills get paid and cleared by work, any suggestions on where to go or who is hiring?
I have had expierence working at Bakers for 2.5 years, and then I loaded trucks for OTC, then transfered to power equipment where I worked for little over 5 months.

I work at Oriental Trading Co. Right now, and seriously need to get out. I don't mind working mornings as I work 6-2:30 right now. I want a job that I can work a lot of hours at.

I drove the power jack for 3 months, drove a Stock Cherry Picker for a few months and my mind didn't adjust to the steering. On the stock cherry picker the steering is turn the wheel to the left, it goes left, but the forklift is all backwards. It was my second day on the machine, the day prior was almost all paperwork. So i was on the machine for a total of maybe 4 hours. My trainer was a total douche and walked off to talk with one of the new female new hires.
I was trying to catch back up to him and drove the forklift over a crack in the concrete... the machine started to bounce so I ment to scoot the machine to the left in order to get off the crack. Well I turned the wheel the wrong way and when I was expecting to go left, and the machine went right... I paniced. At the end of every isle of shevling is a cement endcap that protects you from ramming into the steel shelving unit and knocking the whole unit over. I was leaning back a little and was wearing a sweatshirt and when the machine hit the endcap I flew right out. Smacked my foot against the shelf, then the forklift bounced up and pinned my foot.
I understand what your saying, because I never thought I would ever hurt myself on the machine. I drove the other two machines without ever bumping into anything. While the other drives rammed into walls and endcaps and each other. Personally I blame the trainer for walking off on me, but I also blame myself.
If your interested... I have pictures of my left foot. Broke 4 bones and my foot folded in half, which tore the bottom of my foot wide open. It's gross, but hey... 8000lbs of pressure does damage.

Anyways... just purchased a set of H.I.Ds for my cobalt. Going to put them in the painted stockers. Where would you guys say to get your windows tinted? I went to the Tint Shop off 135th street with my Cavy and got 18% looked good, but poor quality.

for all of my other cars i've had...and some of my family, we've gone to Metro Tint in between 84th & 90th right off of L st. They've done a good job in the past, but my experience w/ them was about 5 years ago.

Mr. Z, is urs an SS/SC and what color? I've seen a red one at sv every once and awhile.
Also, anyone driven there SS/SC in any snow yet? I'm kinda worried about the stock summer tires and how they will do.

Yeah so far in the last month I have purchased a new set of Painted Headlights. I wanted to keep my stock ones so when I go to trade the car in, it doesn't look like I beat on the car. The H.I.Ds should be delivered sometime this week, if not monday. And then today I saw on ebay that someone had a new Chevy Cobalt front Bowtie for sale for $12 shipped. So I snagged that so I can either paint it black or find some black vinyl to put on it.
I drive a Black LT Coupe for those that don't know, so I went with the darker look on the front. I am going to use my tax return to either pick up a set of 18s and some springs... or wait for Gravana to release their new Cobalt kit. The one they posted about the G5 kit. I like the look of that a lot, almost a 350z or G35 look to it in my opinion.
Anybody else modding their cobalt at all? My name is Steve by the way, I am 19 and traded my old 00' Cavalier Z24 in for the balt.

i have not been able to do anything right now due to school as well. plus bills, nightlife and a g/f do not help either. i have no intention on doing much unless some free cash comes my way b/c the most i'm able to save each paycheck is umm... $0.00 haha. it's difficult when any free cash has to go towards my credit card because of school.

I hate NESS too because you either have to own an import for anyone at Transonic or Sublime to take you seriously or drive a mustang/camaro/firebird in order to be accepted.
So you said you work at Old Chicago? Let me know when you work sometime, I will swing in and buy you lunch
lol.. you probably hate the food.
