So.... what is it you do?

[Mr Momo]

I'm a licensed aircraft engineer who maintains these

I'm flying on G-RJXJ on Thursday / Friday - look after her extra specially for me

[Noops]

I've never really worked out what it is, I really do.........and picktures are not really advised although I'm told that when I do what I do, when I do it ,people are usually very happy with the end result . Which still surprises me after all those years...

Having looked at this thread and been around Victor long enough, I think I'm really lucky not to be stuck on a rig.. or in a office or have someone bark sh*t at me ..thankfully all that is behind me .

Although my day to day work is fasinating to most folk , it can still gets right up my nose from time to time..but I wouldent swap you ...

[Mr Momo]

to represent my companies interest in operations, plus get to visit other places to see some interesting stuff going on :



But I also spend a lot of my time listening to technical stuff in meetings like this >

LOL! It's amazing what a difference it can make when you don't hate your boss...life is too short and all that.

Maybe you should, candle-lit dinner etc

I have a company that runs amusement arcades in holiday parks. Basically, if it lights up and takes money , I will supply it. This includes Gaming machines, video games, simulators, air hockey, pool tables, crane machines ( teddy grabbers), penny pushers, skill prize games, basketball games, football games etc.

The down side is that I never get to play the video games as often as you might think

Er, no.

I help to stop this happening...



Mostly by shouting at companies who don't make what they are contracted to as well as staring at bits of twisted metal to work out who to shout at...
Basically fault investigation for NATO Tornados.

I used to fix pumping units for offshore but got tired of cleaning all the pie crusts off them so moved onto fixing choke valves

That'll be lost on everyone here Paul, withe the exception of another SEer who no longer works for BJ


Oh - meant to say - just my last job earlier this month I saw the sign you put up on the split skid unit, whilst fitting the propshaft - was with a trainee at the time and had to explain why I had food coming out my nose
