I worked in adminstration/logistics in a chemical factory. It was located at the end of a railroad spur specifically built for it.
Chemical factory sounds interesting. You like the job?
I don't work there, but yes, it was interesting. I was responsible for ordering more than 40 different raw material chemicals that we used.
WOw. That is a lot of different chemicals. Was it dangerous being around them?
Yes, but the company took safety very seriously. I should know. My father was the Safety Supervisor. They ran a tight ship. Many chemicals were very toxic. The TCSA, a law passed in 1976, made sure they were tightly regulated. I got the MSDS sheets (Material Safety Data Sheets) through my office--they listed the effects and toxicity.
He worked his way to a good position. Hard work.
Yes, he did. He was the first of my family to go to college. We're from the Arkansas Ozarks. I'm the second of my family to go to college. My sister is the third.
THat is cool. Thanks for sharing about your family and past work experience.
