Making a living

It's been almost a year since I started working at Mocap. It's hard to believe how fast time flies by. Before Mocap, I never really ever gave any thought to something as simple as the vinyl caps this company produces. I asked the question when I first started, "who uses these?" and the answer was "who doesn't use them?" I've since come to find out that these dip molded items are used in a huge variety of industries from automotive to industrial to household goods. Mocap is probably like a great many other manufacturers in that the products they produce are normally used behind the scenes and end up being used in or on other products we may never see directly. Such as in the example of the automotive industry, these caps are used to protect the fittings on air conditioning components during manufacturing and shipping. They are removed when the component is installed and the car buyer will never have known it was once there. Kind of like an invisible product.

So my first year is almost over and I'm still here. That's a pretty big accomplishment considering how bored I usually end up at most companies I've worked for in the past. It's usually a lack of a challege or just being under-utilized. At Mocap, I'm in the driver's seat and always have something meaningful to keep me busy and the people here are fantastic, well mostly fantastic anyway :) So here's to another year at Mocap.
