and sometimes I actually do like my job 11

It's a quarter to eleven at night, I have my fall protection harness and my hardhat, I'm about to get in the car and drive three hours, be back outside at 6 AM to witness a monumental erection and maybe climb up in it.

This is what it's about. For me, anyway.

Then I left an unopened can of caffeinated beverage in my car, and the next day it exploded all over my dash, as I discovered when I went to go to work this morning. Gotta go clean that up now.

LOL. Did you happen to have a cigarette after this entire episode was over?

Does _anybody_ have a straight response for HgTX?

Oh. Sorry.

Glad the erection went off without a hitch and you got your mess cleaned up, HgTX.

What Hg describes is the true joy of being an engineer. For me, if doesn't even have to be monumental. I really enjoy seeing the small ones too.

Projects that is. Small projects. Seeing the finished product. It's priceless.

Yes, a line of HVAC units, valves & piping bent & assembled to my drawings. Stepping in to lead a line on a new product release was better. Helped to balance out the stress & '$10 a minute' speeches from production about line downtime.

Used to design valve & piping packages, so I got to ask another engineer to 'check out my package' with a straight face. That was priceless too.

Alright, who is this masquerading as HgTX? Can you stick around for awhile?

Gosh, it only took HgTX 3 hours and it’s still up, and it was fun too, that’s real staying power. I think some of us need a pregnant pause on this one. But, not all of us, right Cass?

Bye the bye, clue us in Hg, what the hell was being installed (erected) 200' above the ground?

 

[Ron]

Come on Cass...I know you're holding back!!

 

[casseopeia]

I've been trying to cut back, Ron. But since it's almost Friday right before a holiday weekend, I'll make an exception.

I find that the preliminary phase, if properly and diligently executed, makes the final erection stage somewhat anti-climactic.
