What do you do for work?

M&M hired gun.
marketing and merchandising.

Unilever.
Procter & Gamble.
Warner-Lambert (now Pfizer).

Commercial fire alarm systems.

Retired theft investigator for large municipal utility. Largest recovery was $1.64M. No I won’t tell you how to beat your meters. :stuck_out_tongue:

Service Manager for a national automotive chain. Basically run the shop and sell service repairs on customers vehicles.

WTH! Was that from one customer—how long was that happening to rack up a bill like that?

Heavy equipment product support.

For Australians here (pinkpanda3310 , grin) ; do you recognize WARATAH ?

Do you know Simon Mao ?

How does our addiction to lights rate ?? :laughing: :laughing:

The roof steel - cross bracing, parallel chord trusses. The panel eventually gets tied into the floor slab as well. I only say that because i’ve seen pics of a building that had a fire which collapsed some of the roof steel and all of the panels ( a couple of which were only connected at floor level, remained standing. The surrounding buildings blocked a lot of wind so they didn’t get blown over but still… 125mm thick, 7m tall and weighing 15-20 tons each….

We don’t need to worry about earthquakes. The Meckering Fault Line is a little ways out of Perth and is not very active. The vast majority of sites we work on are sand. We only encounter problems when we dig up stuff that was buried by man.

Waratah is a plant. Pretty sure it’s an aboriginal word.

Something to do with mining? Or waratah the suburb, port waratah, the flower, company

It was one company, much heavy equipt drilling a big 22ft dia tunnel.

Inventor—with the capability to screw up many cheap flashlights.

Before I got re-tired I was a glorified maintenance tech with certifications in HVAC and welding.

Worked a 2nd job as a residential training instructor.

Worked a 3rd job in armed security. (insurance ornament)

Kids are expensive.

Different cooked, tasting the same. We had a large industrial user on 3 fase high tension.
Visited by very specialised (high paid) metering guys. Suddenly the consumption is down by 33%.
Meter guy thinks( ? ): Okay. Meter dept thinks: Okay. Billing dept thinks: Okay.
Apparently nobody notices. Forrest Gump would have noticed, or Lassie, or Flipper, or Mr.Ed.

Untill Sourcing dept. (we) analysed sales (Peter Tosh: a man without a past is a man without a future).
The culprit was in the meters. A three fase system has three meters, and one meter was out of action.
Month after month the meter guy rapported: meter 1: nnnn MWh, meter 2: nnnn MWh, meter 3: 0 MWh.
There was no foul play (only lazy colleagues) but still we had a very hard time getting our money.
The client tried the oldest trick in the book: so sorry, but the books on that year are closed.
The following months were filled with happy days …… if you were a lawyer.
Fortunately our legal dept. reacted very swift …. and hired an outside man to handle the mess.

Much the same here. Meter reader looked at the meter, looked at the huge hole in the ground, many floodlights indicating 24hr use, winches operating, dirt conveyor filling trucks yet no consumption. He should have gotten the credit.

Construction IT grunt, hobby farmer.

I’m an aviation fire fighter :slight_smile:

When I was younger, I was a rancher.

Now, I’m a semi retired machinist, welder, metal fabricator, draftsman.

But mostly, I’m a rancher again, who sometimes also build race cars, buggies, barns, and corrals.

And I use flashlights ALOT in my job.

Some really interesting occupations represented here. Certainly a wide variety. And cool video pinkpanda!

Data Analyst here… systems analyst, programmer, database admin, whatever you want to call it. Was that at Caterpillar for many years. Now I work for an awesome agriculture technology company

Pretty impressive resume considering your ocular limitation. :nerd_face:

Instrument Tech for a chemical plant

Edited my post before and then deleted it by mistake instead of saving it, good you found it in time! Thanks for the info. The prefab panels are a really good way to get a building up and running way quicker than formwork. Probably cost more but I could see where commercial construction would love the idea of getting everything done on time with minimal delays.
