Hello! Glad to see I made your day=) I like making people smile. The story is even better progressing than I had expected it to, if that's any better? As far as a description of welding and its job description, I will try to give as good of one as I can. I used to work for a company that built mining equipment but they laid me off some time ago. But here goes:
The welding process we used was called mig welding. google a picture of a mig welder and you'll see what it looks like. We used Lincoln PowerMIG 350 welders at the shop. In my opinion, they're the best. Mig welding has almost become the standard for production work, which was what I did. We had a quota of four sets of handrailing and four base platforms a day, and any extra we built we got paid commission.
A typical day was waking up at 4:30AM to be there by 5AM, which was when we started. I got up, got dressed (They gave us uniforms after 90 days) and brewed a pot of coffee while I took a quick shower. Afterwards, I put it into my thermos and grabbed my lunch out of the fridge that I had to prepare the night before because of obvious time constraints, and haul ass to work. We worked 5AM to 5PM and nightshift worked 5PM to 5AM. Occasionally I'd have to switch shifts because of either a rise or drop in production. I got paid $11 an hour.
I'd get there, punch in, and head to the shop floor to meet my foreman (The boss) and the other people who worked in my area of the shop. They also hired painters, laborers, assemblers, and machinists. The building was a big warehouse with the welding shop in the front and the paint line/assembly line in the back. We always had a blueprint and a stack of raw materials waiting for us, and we'd look over the print and get to work. Building the equipment was simple; we'd just bend and cut the parts as specified by the blueprint and weld them together and send them to the back of the shop to be finished. If you need to know any more, just google mig welding and read a bit. It should explain anything I might have left out. Next I will discuss benifits.
We got health insurance along with dental, eye and life insurance and uniforms after a 90-day probationary period. Uniforms consisted of 5 navy blue long sleeve work shirts with a patch bearing our names over the right pocket and the company emblem over the left, and flame-retardant blue jeans. Steel-toed work boots were required and the company would give us a 'boot allowance' of $90 every two years.
That's about the best I can do for right now. I love this story and I'm excited to see how it pans out. This is by far the coolest request acceptance I've ever had! Thank you so much! I did have a little tweak I wanted to add in if possible? Maybe you can weave in the song 'More like the movies' by Dr. Hook in there somewhere? I love that song, and it fits what you've written so far. Lyrics should be on the internet somewhere. Again, thank you, and post on my thread if anything else comes up. You're doing an outstanding job=)

By the way, if you need any info on either job, post on my challenge thread and I will gladly help you out. My email doesnt work, and i dont have enough time to write anymore, sadly.... but thank you so much! i really enjoyed reading this fic. keep up the good work!
