Michael_Brown Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Alot of those Lampson Transi-Lifts's undercarriages have faced the sky in the last decade and a half. Are you an investigator? Here is one dropping a load in Australia. At the end you can hear the block of the white crane bashing off of its own boom to make and eerie bell sound. Warning the guys video taping drop the f-bomb a few times. It does not matter what type of equipment or other construction type of accident I get called to have a look.
ketchenany Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Mobile Crane Operator. I love it. I have various offices. This is my current one. Does Silvio treat you well!
Grimace Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 It's a good place to work. Just back after a couple of years roaming.
craigdritchie Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 My actual office isn't all that impressive - think stuffy closet with a desk and a phone and you pretty much have the idea. Good thing I don't spend very much time in it. I work in magazine publishing, so the majority of the real work I do happens somewhere else. For example, I attend 15 to 20 different boat shows each year, all over the world. This one is in Germany. Sounds great, but for me, it's another day at work. My job is a mix of business development, schmoozing, and I still do some writing. I enjoy writing about boats, and one part of my job is test-driving and writing about new models as they come out. This is a new Skeeter, still parked in the slip at Yamaha's secret testing facility in rural Alabama. Even outside on a rainy day, it has that new car smell. I would love it if this was my full time office. Maybe one day. Speaking of new car smell, I also sometimes write about automotive stuff. Last year I got visit Hankook Tire Company's R&D centre in Korea. They let us spend an hour or so trying out high performance tires on their test track. That was a pretty fun day at the office. Unfortunately, they didn't let me keep the car. My primary "other" office these days is an airplane seat. It's best to write things while the experience is still fresh in your mind, and before you head off someplace else and forget all the details. This picture was taken while flying through a typhoon on a trans-Pacific flight. Note the 702 mph ground speed, while flying into a 149 mph head wind! Almost supersonic in a 777! Like any other job, it has its ups and downs. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm a pretty lucky guy.
Hooked Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 I always wondered what somebody with 5 million dollars worth of fishing equipment did for a living. I almost fell off my chair laughing on that one solo, good one. And I too wondered, hahaha.
manitoubass2 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 Right now I'm a full time fisherman, lol. Hopefully I'll be back to work soon though Here is part of my office Here is the kitchen and here is the most important part of the office!

Grimace Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Hey FnA, no problem. That would be cool. I think we could combine the two. You bring all the dope dealers cars to the job site and we will smash them with the crane. Lift the full stone box to the top of the boom and freefall them on to the cars. Then you can arrange that every dope dealer gets a picture of their smashed escalade when they are in the can. Now that would be a great day at work.
fishing n autograph Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 That would be awesome! Bring a wreckin ball too!
ckrb2007 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Awesome jobs so far guys. Myself, I'm a cable & line technician (Fibre optic splicer) for Allstream. Our crew of around 15 outside plant guys repair, maintain, build, test and trouble-shoot our network in and around Central Ontario, although the network runs coast to coast. Here are a few pics of my various "offices". My main office is my raised roof van seen here at Yonge & Richmond in Toronto Splicing in a rail-side tent at a train de-railment. Hanging up a splice encloure in a Toronto Hydro manhole. Taking down an enclosure at Derry Rd & Airport Rd. Sometimes we have to repair our cables when this happens......makes for an exciting and loooong day. Cheers, Colin
