What do you do for a living

RE: What do you do for a living
Maintenance Mechanic II for the University of Washington. I take care of all the systems from the water boosted system to the fire system, to heating and electrical (I'm an electrician) to security and safety. I also do all of the plumbing and carpentry, so far I haven't had to call anyone in for help. It did take me 3 years to get all of the as-built prints and equipment manuals since the general was in some sort of dispute with the University. I also maintain approximately 50 gas appliances which include stoves, furnaces, duct heaters, space heaters, hot water tanks and the like. Started at this new facility 2 weeks before the doors opened in July of 1995, so I got to work with all of the contractors as they got ready to leave, also lived on site for a year and a half for free. My son was born while living here. I take a lot of ownership in my job and look forward to coming to work everyday. Here is a link to the place. Later all.

RE: What do you do for a living
I'm a first responder for conflicts or natural disasters...big plane drops us off in the middle of nowhere and they tell us to make an airfield out of it...first we secure the area and then set up comms with HQ...once we get things rolling we can start receiving planes brining in the main body...after main body gets in we turn the airfield over to them and head home...usually gone for about 45 days at a time and the airfield can be turned over to any branch of the military... ...we're self suffient...everything that can fit on our pallets are all that we need...we have are specialties but wind up doing a little of everything since we travel in small groups...kind of cool...I can't complain...

Just kidding I guess I will throw them away, but it seems like someone out there must be looking for parts. I have 5 of these that I just replaced.

I work on the under ground electric lines For the local power company. It is a pretty good living but it is a dangerous job. We just had a fatality about two months ago. I Didn't know him but a lot of my co-workers did and they all said he was a great guy. He was 55 years old and had 20 years on the job.

Here is a picture of the 32 lb female I caught by myself and it took me an hour and 50 minutes to get it in because I knew I was going to keep it and it was the first big fish I had hooked in years. I was afraid I was going to loose it so I took my time, man my arms were tired and I still had 4 miles to go to the pull out. I actually bent the net getting it in the boat, and then I yelled really loud, but there was nobody to share it with, but loads of fun anyway.
