FROG MAN Posted November 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2008 About two days a week I work in the office (engineering) so that makes me a white collar worker. Two days a week in the field service makes me a blue collar worker. Tomorrow I got a meeting about a wind generator project so I should wear green. A few of my clients are all women but I'm not wearing pink. Ramona just brought home some homeade blackberry wine and now I don't have a shirt on at all.:rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted November 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2008 Froggie that was funny. I guess I wear a red and sometimes black collar, because that is the school colors where I work. I wish I had some blackberry wine though. Yama Mama:big-grin-emoticon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted November 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2008 I work in an Engineering Lab and though we are all salary, it is more blue collar than anywhere I have ever worked. Most of my work has been white collar as I was a Quality Manager. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted November 7, 2008 Share #9 Posted November 7, 2008 I guess I'm supposed to be White but it turns Blue in a hurry when things go wrong. Story about blackberry wine. 10 or 15 yrs ago I made 3 gallon. Came out really good. we drank one, I gave one to my brother and put the other one in the cellar. ( I still Have one)I thought it ought to be getting really good or could have gone bad... Son was in last year and I suggested we pull it out dust it off and try it. He looked a little embarrassed and said "Dad, Thats not wine thats grape kool-aid. We drank that wine years ago." We being him,sister and neighbor boy & girl. He said it was Good!!Now what kid would do anything like that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted November 7, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 7, 2008 I'm white collar now but was blue collar for many years. Worked as an industrial electrician for about 20 years. Guess I moved into the white collar world about 15 or 20 years ago. I actually miss the blue collar at times. In some ways, life seemed much simpler then.

Well, first of all, I do not claim to be a computer expert. I got interested in them though when I was still an electrician. During the end of my time with Texas Utilities Generating Company, a big part of my job was converting analog relay circuits to PLC controllers. I had to take some courses and learn ladder logic programming. That was the start of it all and then I just developed an interest in PCs and it hasn't stopped. It has always been nothing more than a hobby for me and everything I know about personal computers has come from not being afraid to break something. I have spent many long hours trying to fix something that I broke due to messing with things that I knew nothing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
