      Interesting @Filthy, seems very specialized.

        It takes a 'special' person to do my kind of work… our turnover rate is almost 100 percent. I have been doing my job 14 years.

            @Filthy Seems like a very niche profession.  How did you get started in it?  Right place, right time?  Knew someone?

            Curious.  The travel aspect seems like it would be very cool!

              @endo we have an office in Brussels so I don't get to that part very often. But every once in a while.

              @goosehd I answered an add in the paper. I was just trying to find a minimum wage job in retail or join the military at that time. The military laughed me out of there and nobody wanted to hire me. You have to have a driver's license, clean criminal record, and had to fill out a 50 page application to be granted unescorted access to nuclear power plants. And I have to pass monthly drug tests and get a department of transportation physical.

              The rest is all on the job and classroom training. There's lot of safety and sight specific training too. I don't have to work in the nukes anymore. And I mostly work in natural gas and fossil power plants.

                It sounds like you work all over the world.  Do you get to volunteer for the overseas work or just go where they need you?  Are you on the road most of the time?

                  They send me to all the difficult and shittest places to go. Like if is dangerous they send me because they know I am crazy. I did refuse to go to Nigeria recently though. I was worried about the dangers per say, but sleeping on a cot in a communal living situation isn't my jam. I am pretty crafty and street smart so they can send me somewhere and I can fix stuff if it breaks down and they dont have to worry about me being kidnapped or anything like that.

                  There's one other guy they like to send to all the nice international places. Then they staff a lot of the jobs with the guys from either our Belgium or Australian offices.

                        Idk of this counts as authentic Hawaiian food @RoxRocks86

                        .

                        I never went to a restaurant like this before. But it, Katsu, was amazing.

                          @Filthy did you go to L&L bbq or something?

                          It’s not necessarily Hawaiian as katsu is Japanese, but it’s def a popular local dish served exactly like that.

                                    I ate all the chicken and most of the rice. I didn't care for the macaroni. But I'll eat it tomorrow.

                                        This is arguably my favorite bar ever. I only get to come here once or twice a year.

                                          This looks like the kind of place where they have nurses at the ready with wheelchairs in case something goes sideways 😃

                                            I think I might be able to pull off 2 lbs, but the rest are insanity! The 125-pounder would be a tough ask even for a huge party.
