What you do for a living (work, job)?

Man I could imagine back before the company was watching your every move it was a lot more “fun”. I started driving in 2011 and met my wife on route like a lot of other drivers have. I used to call her when I got to her office to come help me with my “package” There’s apparently something about us in uniform that drives them crazy, delivered to a Cavenders Boot City and the girls would ask if my socks matched my boxers and they wanted to check! Ah so much fun!

 

Damn that is some old stuff right there. I can only imagine what the arcflash rating is on that equipment...

 

We know the secret "Phil"..

My dream job right there. Awesome pictures. I was a forest fire equipment operator for North Carolina and am trying to get back into it. Hopefully federally. If you all have any openings let me know lol

 

Concrete finisher. Small Flatwork company. Just can’t stand the winters off anymore and it’s hurting my wallet. Looking to get in with a good commercial company who has work year around or a new career all together.

 

I run Natural Restorations in Arizona. We contract post 9/11 Military Veterans on our crew and host community volunteer events to remove trash and graffiti from our wilderness and outdoor recreation areas.

 

Lots of old people retiring lately, but you'd have to become a Canadian first haha

 

@1lowlife, you didn't happen to deliver to College Park Mall back then did you?

 

No I never did the west side of town.
Around late 1986 I started delivering 2nd Street (HWY 22) and everything north of it starting at (and including) Business 45.
Then I did a couple years delivering HWY 31 businesses east of 45, (Cotter and Company, etc.) and all of downtown.
That was back when they had stores downtown; Dyers, Jacks, Withrow furniture, Roy's cafe, Liberty Mutual, The County Courthouse, etc..
I think Dave Ward delivered the College Park Mall back then...

 

Yeah, I think that I remember Dave. I worked at Hasting's in the mall starting the summer of 1985.

 

I’m a garbage man. I drive for waste management I’m a residential two sort recycle garbage man. Love the job. Get paid awesome money just picking up cans lol. Good benifits retirement and pension. Can’t complain.

 

I have my own custom cabinet shop. Worked collectively for 14yrs at one shop. Owner/boss passed in 2017, I got relived of my position a couple months later. Been in business for myself for 2yrs. Love being my own boss but it's allowed me to get lazy.

 

Whoa I'm an electrician too and those are some crazy transformers and switch gear. 4160 is fun I did industrial mining work out if las vegas for 3 years and thats the only time I encountered it bit cool stuff. I am definetly going to show these pictures to my crew on Monday they will appreciate it. I have a fetish for antique electrical gear it excites me how seemingly dangerous it is compared to todays tech.

 

Here's a couple more then. This school has 7 or so high voltage rooms around the campus. Each is incredible. This is a 2400v switchboard, I'm not sure where they came up with that voltage but it's the only 2400v system I've ever worked on. The floating bussing is low voltage, either 480 or 208, I don't recall. Keep your arms by your sides

 

I can't believe people dump their trash like that. Dirtbags...

 

Utilizing our new Fluke 5730A High Performance Multifunction Calibrater with 5725A Amplifier. The 5730A can calibrate long scale 8.5 digit multimeters. This particular setup is close to $70K as configured. This is nice. ...edit...the 5730A was $76K. Amplier is around $15K.

 

Nice Fiskar axe.

Man, it seems you are in the top ten of the 'best job' competition.

 

Awesome.

The people that do that are freakin' asshats, too.

 

You said:

I heard:

The inversion of the flux capacitor eliminates the need for a self-balancing torque convertor and magnifies the radiation outputs on the automatic transport beam.

 

Lol same.

 

You left out the variance of the overall measurement uncertainty and the affect that degrees of freedom has on the final calculation... ........

 

I am an old engineer. Sold a fabrication shop that I had part ownership in a couple of years ago. We had grown it to 450 people. Now I work for my wife, she is a real estate attorney. I run title, work on property descriptions, do the IT work. Fix toilets. Whatever she says do.
