Nothing as exciting as that I'm afraid Oily, just sling up the odd dish and aerial here and there.

What ever puts food on the table:-csmile
You travel about Rolfw?oppp north by any chance;)

 

[rolfw]

No, only for social reasons, business wise only about a 25 mile radius.

I run a rather dilapidated computer network at one of the local high schools 300 computers running RM Connect 2.4 on win 98 clients. The workstations are 5, 6, & 7 years old, and are getting rather unreliable.

We are past the point of no return for repairing break downs, and I just try to hold everything together in some sort of shape until we are refurbished next summer......

Sounds like you could do with one of those cool-looking covert access poles for the van Rolf...

 

[Oily]

Or one of these carbon fibre ladders that we do;)

I work in Telecomms, on Siemens phone systems. Used to install satellite dishes (and a few months of hell on NTL) but i realised its nicer to be working inside all winter. Miss the summers up on chimneys though!!!!

 

[Oily]

Its not all exciting stuff Rolfw,we've been making identification paint for the elections in Iraq,its for the yanks so they don't shoot each other or anyone else for that matter.Its pretty boring mixing+the chemicals are playing havoc with my hands,MEK,Toloune to name but a few

 

[rolfw]

I've yet to meet anyone who's job is wholly exciting, but I enjoy mine in the main, it was my hobby before my job.

Must have one of those poles though, as STICK says, would look cool on the van and I could advertise "Covert access our speciality"

@ eddie173, know what you mean about work in the winter, probably the biggest downside, but the views can be breathtaking.

Depends on which area you cover i suppose! Most of the areas i worked in would take more than a covering of frost to be considered breathtaking!! Likewise it was a hobby for me and i jumped on Sky when they did the digital push in `99. And spent the next 2 years cleaning up after subbies who couldnt install a greasy stick up.....

I'm doing a PhD in Laser Physics...little geeky, and unfortunaltely I have no carbon fibre ladders...I do have a huge laser?!

 

[salvador]

I'm a software engineer and although I work mainly in Oracle Financials these days, I used to work developing realtime software which was a lot more exciting..... but a lot less £s :-(

If you supplied something like the Williams X-Jet I would be interested.

I do something similar to Rolf, though I try not to climb above a gutter, certainly avoid aerial work unless its part of the main job, even then I would prefer to get someone else in.

Been working in the commercial sector for a number of years now, which has led onto some interesting work for the satellite providers.

What, you liked it so you stayed there?
