Here’s To You

Today we salute you Mr. Anonymous PhotoFill.com Reader.
Without your undying commitment, we might find ourselves in extreme boredom, knowing where you came from.
(Oh, I need you now!)
Like a brave soldier, you storm hostile territory delivering much needed stats to the site.
Should you check out one picture? Or two? Or look at every picture on this site.
(Keep clickin’!)
While others rest, you can’t… because somewhere there’s a guy with no internet, dying to do some random clicking.
(Click! Click! Click!)
So crack open an ice-cold winter picture, master of anonymous clicking because if you don’t click, there would be no pictures to click.
(Is there anybody out there?)
Yes, for those who come back here, yet haven’t talked to me in weeks, or months (you know who you are) let me fill you in (also I don’t want to type this over and over). Today I had an interview at TOX Pressotechnik (www.tox-us.com), a company who makes presses for many different applications. Such as that box you’re sitting next to (your computer case) or heat shields or many other thin metal uses. They have what’s called “TOX-ing” which is a process of attaching two metals by pressing them in spots somewhat like rivets, but without using rivets. They make presses and stamping for other applications, but their primary business deals with an alternative to welding or riveting.
I would be a design engineer there, taking a project from beginning to end. Using their supply of in house made presses, I would be designing the tooling, and equipment needed to “TOX” pieces together, and possibly many other pressing processes such as bending, stamping, etc. They are a company with divisions primarily in Germany (where they’re based), and Asia and their smallest division is here in the US. Every project is rather different, customers coming to them wanting different things, but I would be designing (on the computer) then moving to assembling (just in the back of the building) then to shipment to the customer. Obviously I would start out with smaller jobs, them move to bigger, more complicated jobs (like the new Dell Computer server case they showed me) once I got experience.
The interview went quite well, I felt better about this one than I did with Cat-i Glass, however that really seems to not matter. They were very friendly people, and I think I may have at least a foot in the door because they did like some things I’ve done in past internships, and experience. I found this job online, not through NIU, so no connections to this job at all. They liked me by my resume and brought me in. It was mentioned that I was the first to interview, and they were just starting their interview process, for hiring first of next year. They gave me a ‘couple month’ deciding time, however they could and quite possibly might decide earlier. I will be contacting him after thanksgiving, so I’ll know more then, however otherwise I think the interview went quite well.
