I have a new job at a foam shop cutting styrofoam on an old cnc foam cutting hotwire machine for homes and stuff. most of my day is spent trying to manage our massive pile of scrap that the owner dosent throw away because he can cut it down into pieces that he can sell. and the smaller pieces then get cut into cubes for packing material. i say trying to manage the pile because it piles up very fast and the warehouse is full of it. mostly though im just cutting parts, shrink wrapping them and adding to the scrap pile myself. every few days a truck shows up and brings 30 or so more foam billets. they are 50  [...]
