What do you do for a living?

Nothing, but I need one... My excess funds ran out about a week ago from my last project. I'm highly skilled at everything, anyone hiring? imp:

 

And someone like myself:

1. Installs what you designed

2. Fixes all the problems and safety hazards with your circuitry. rotfl rotfl rotfl

Just so you know:

Emergency stops go in series with the ENTIRE machine, not just part of it. rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl rotfl

 

And then I am also the one that goes out and has to figure out what the guys installing my design did wrong, and also what they decided didn't need to be installed. rotfl

Really though, I don't design the machines, I just design the power systems that feed it, and external controls for some types of machines. And yes, I know how E-stops should be wired in.

 

I know, I know. I'm glad you know how E-stops should be wired....I'm in the process of an 80 hour project to fix someone's electrical hack job. rotfl

Control circuit is wired with telephone wire, flexible conduit everywhere (runs of 20'+) on the outside of equipment where it could be hit (needs to be IMC, and they ran flexible).

And I'd hope with that EE next to your name, you don't have to design individual control circuits. I can see you needing to design the panel--some of the panels for our machines are HUGE, with boatloads of wires for various PLCs, etc.

It's a mess.

My pop is an ET in the altoona, PA branch of the post office. I forget what level he is, like 10 or 11. I know he rakes in the money by the double fistfull. He's been there about 15 years now.

If no one has guessed yet I am a gravedigger. I bury the dead. We have 3 cemeteries and a monument company. My wife and I work together and in addition to the gravedigging we also make headstones (she does the layout and cuts the stencil, I sandblast them), pour the foundations for the headstones, and set the stones.

And I'll tell ya something Mrbeer I think I could give your dodge a real beating here in the cemetery. I'm usually hauling 4-5 ton of dirt from the hole with out F350 dump. Figure20-30 ton of dust a year from the quarry, 40-50 ton of 2RC and 2B gravel for the roads, 18' trailer with backhoe. And shipments of granite ranging from 4k-7k lbs. And that's not even counting the flatbed monument truck we pour the foundations off of and set the stones with. waytogo

 

I never did respond to this post. I am a regional manager for physical security for a big computer company.

 

I'm a Safety Manager. My company contracts with other companies (mostly construction) to help them maintain the safety programs and to be OSHA compliant.

 

I'm a server engineer that implements and supports computer servers for a West Coast health system with data centers in OR, WA, CA, and AK. Also do some project management and technical lead work for same health system.

 

Guys like you are LOVED :stir: on all of the jobsites I work on. rotfl

 

Aw schucks man. You're making me

The thing is, it helps companies fix stuff before they get busted for real. Also, the price of my contract is sometimes even lower than the cost savings on insurance for having us.

So, saves company $$$ and they get to fix stuff before being busted by OSHA. Win win for ALL :stir:

 

I repair Nuclear Powered Submarines in the US Navy

 

No I completely agree with you. So many times i have been the guy who no one likes because I actually try to work safely. Some of these contractors are just so darn cheap they would rather endanger employees than spend the extra time and money to do a job the right way.
Keep up the good work!!
