Now I know why he's your old boss!
When I'm hauling around expensive stuff, I drive really carefully. Probably the most expensive piece that I've moved was around $1,000,000. That's easy to do when we've got a $100,000,000 paper machine sitting there and $6,000,000 printing presses.

He was the owners kid so he didn't get canned, I worked there about 10+ years ago.
It was foil for making the lids for juice and fruit cups you get at hotels and on airplanes.
We also did coffee dairy creamer lidding for restaurants.
He would come back from lunch all sauced up on Grand Marnier and take over the forks (which wasn't his job) and usually screw something up.[sm=lol.gif]
I saw him drive with the forks all the way up with no load and take out a heating unit and all kinds of crap...
Spoiled brat!

The only foil that we have to deal with is that we make the Pringle's can material before it goes to the printer and final processes. We're the only company that seems to be able to run it and I can't blame the others as it's a real pain in the butt to laminate. The funny thing is what you see is the dull side as the mirror-like finish is on the other side.

Have you got the hold on with C# Express? I heard pro's have worked with C# for 10 years and only adventured 5% of the program.

Learning computer programming is not hard at all. However, you do have to know the basics. To be good at C#, Java or C++. You MUST MUST MUST understand the concept of Object Oriented Programming. If you don't, you can master the language but not be able to design software properly. Once you understand that, you are there! You can call yourself a programmer. You can pick up any Object Oriented Programming languages in matter of days.

I started programming in September, 1981. Started 'C' programming in 1990 and then really started to learn. I worked on a UNIX system for years then started Visual C++ in 1997. I loved programming and would still like to do a little so I don't forget it.

I too was in the service, but I was 19K; I was absolutely stoked to be in armor. To this day I actually miss it and seeing shows on TV about the modern Army and tankers bring back memories.
The only thing I dont miss is the constant cycling out for overseas deployment.

RE: What is your profession?
I started with C# recently and found it very intresting and also not my cup of coffee. I'm now trying to get into the Army Reserve. Going to Afghanistan would be a dream come true for me and hoping ithappens.

Actually, I'm working with C# and Java most of the time. C# is a very good programming language to learn because the syntax is very clean. Usually if you've worked with a programming language for 10 years, you can call yourself an expert. It is like a real language, you can not master everything. In the real world, developers use books/internet all the time to look up information. You can not remember everything. The 10 years, 5% thing, I believe you are talking about C++. It takes longer time and practice to be good at C++. But 10 years of experience in C++, you should definitely get more than 5% out of it otherwise, you should be looking for another job.
