    CorkSoaker for local winery.

    Family skill, they say my dad was a huge CorkSoaker, while my toothless mom is still in the business and more popular than ever.

    People refer to us CorkSoakers quite often.

    Sr. Technical writer.

    No need for fancy word processing equipment.

    Auto correct has become my worst enema.
    Just mix up two letters and the whole sentence is urined.

    I make cutting tools for the machine trades industry. Very little in the way of commodity tooling such as drills and endmills, more of a focus on print tooling.

    I’ve been with Grainger for 27 years. Last day with them is 12/23/2022. My job(department) has been outsourced to Panama. So need to start looking outside of Grainger next year. Will be interesting as Grainger is all I know. They gave us a good package which is a good thing that will allow me some time. Planning to get serious about the job hunt starting in February

    Thats unfortunate, where are you located and what did you do?

    We sell through grainger, lots of people buy through them and will come direct, get quoted and then go spend more with grainger because its easier being set up with them so I have no problem there.
