[Drum]

so what fascinating snippets happened in yours matt? how many guns did you shoot?

[WarlockNZ]

:shit: your a cop ??? LOL ... i had no idea .. ha ha, still a good bastard tho, although i am glad to see my taxpayer $$ well spent.

As for the domestic ... you should have given him the bash .. there is no excuse for that.

[Harry33]

Well I for one Thankyou for doing a job that some people don't give enough respect. Keep it up

[scumdog]

BTW, I never see my job as a 'chore', I love it (but at times the 'serious' human tragedy stuff grinds me down) and often go back on days off to sort some thing or other out that in a big centre would never get done.

I think he is playing with his little friends right now....don't disturb him!!

[Grahameeboy]

Respect to you SD.....:rockon:

[terbang]

Had a mate who used to drive trains. Reckoned he came around a bend to see a young woman sitting cross legged on the track facing them. She looked straight at him with a huge grin on her face that never even flinched as they just ran her down. Similar results to your cows I guess (he didn't elaborate). Fucked the poor guy up a bit..!

[MattRSK]

No guns in my job. Just as exciting though. Thats why I do it!

[Indiana_Jones]

I drew half of an F-14 in CAD today (rather shit looking), that was about it

At least she wasn't spread though 6km of track like one cow was....and her head probably looked better - even when it came off.

[Big Dave]

Nice - I enjoy a look at your world.

I dicked around putting a catalogue together and watched some NFL.
An hour on BRONZ stuff my only worthwhile put back.

[skelstar]

Im guessing that playing with very high voltages can make your day fairly interesting eh Matt? Someone has to do it I guess.

Yeah, I heard of a guy in Palmerston recently who had his arm and leg blown/burnt off because of 11kv lines. I guess he wasn't wearing his Hi-Viz vest.

[scumdog]

Of course I left out the really mundane bits - and the identifiable personal bits.

But then it would be like a KB rally eh?

or a KB thread......

[Ixion]

...- and the identifiable personal bits.



Was that the cow?

[Grahameeboy]

Was that the cow?

which cow though??

[Ixion]

To answer that would require the identifiable personal bits, which he left out

[Grahameeboy]

Come on use your imagination

My best riding buddy in Sydney in 1978 was Al 'fatal' Lynch. Rock jawed, reformed westie. Quite a ladies man was Al. He had a custom Z900B and I had an XS1100 and we used to go out on the south side - race our bikes and chase babes 7 nights a week - for a few heady summers late in the decade.
The rules were different back then and it was an Austin Powers style shag fest. We had a different babe on the back most weeks. And some stunners too.

By day Fatal was a ground engineer at qantas mascot. He was the one who waved the landing beacon things and communicated with the pilots via the hard wired head set.

Just as he reached up to say 'all clear' to a 727 and unplug - lightning struck the plane.

Fried his nervous system - it was 5 years till he could muster the strength to pull in the clutch on a bike.

He's still talks slow - brain's fine - just the signals get lost in the burnout. Don't think he rode again. Married a Cypriot girl and got family.

Onya Fatal. We were huge.

[skelstar]

Sounds like a bad day.

ever so slight I woulsd say

Hmm, don't very often deal with survivable disasters s you got me there.

Bloody unreal Kharma though.

The way I read this, these two things went together...that must have been some tour!

Like others have said re: your job - good on you!

(PS - I moved papers around and drank coffee. Oooh, I printed some things as well...)

[Edbear]

In other words, a fairly normal day in Auck, SD, sans a few bashings and murders... Thought you said the South was a nice quiet place to live where nothing much happens...?:sunny: (Of course, "nothing much" can be a relative term...)

[TerminalAddict]

I made sure one of our "interesting customers" wasn't hosting porn.
I sent a bunch of emails
played some foosball
did system updates on 30 odd linux machines
felt suicidal more than once

[MSTRS]

Hope you don't expect the taxpayer to fork out OT, young fella??

[skelstar]

A couple of weeks back I spent a large part of the day with my head in a 4000V (DC) 500W power supply (amplifier actually) trying to find a fault. While my list of tasks was not a long one (like yours SD), touching something/anything with any part of my body would have been VERY bad for business. Having some 'issues' on my mind at the time didn't do anything for my concentration either.

That might have been a bad day.

dont you people know how to turn things off ?
Its a lot easier to work on stuff like that when its not hot ... :mellow:

[skelstar]

Hard to diagnose a fault when its not going alltogether.

Ever tried to change the channel without the TV on? :mellow:

you need to work somewhere live where the power CAN"T be shut down, and carbon fibre spanners are the only way to work on stuff without sparking it up.......

[ghost]

Your job sucks, apart from getting to shoot things, miss that about my old job.

keep up the good (and crap) work fella, it is appreciated by some of us.

(especially the shooting things, you need to do a bit more of that:innocent: )
