    1.) Go find a temp agency, apply to get some job, any job, in a fabrication shop or machine shop.

    2.) Show up every day mostly sober, even if you’re sweeping the floor or running a grinder.

    3.) Take an interest in thr equipment. Learn about it. Learn how to use calipers and a tape measure.

    4.) Eventually they will train you on a machine. Maybe a mill, maybe a lathe, maybe a plasma cutter or brake or laser. Learn how to run it, learn how to run some of the other machines.

    5.) Keep learning and never want for a job again.

      Most annoying is that it is actually quite simple to bulk-learn the basics of all that shit in a 1 week structured course, but you have to play politics instead, before they let you be useful.

      Better plan:

      1. Slowly take the parts of each individual machine

      2. find a secret lair to bring said parts

      3. build a suit

      4. fly over the corporate and political leaders, and shit on them.

      I think that may be less feasible though. We’ll go with your idea, for now.
