    You are pretty much putting everyone to shame of the top posters by getting it done quickly so you can enjoy it, including me. It gets even harder towards the end to get it where you wanted it to be. I'm not even close but having a blast driving it in the meantime.

    I work in Saint gobain glass wool fabric. Love the job even its sometimes quite demanding, not fysically but mentally. Lots if machinery,some operate with air, hydraulic and electric and if something goes wrong its my job to try to solve the problem as fast as i can. Also use 2 computers all the time where the main programming comes for the machines etc
