Thanks! I would have settled for 'other' (that has aslways been a description that fits me).

Santa must be a trucker.

well really. I have this small burst of high speed connection that i would loose i a day or two.

so just had to do something useless between downloads.

anyway, Trucker I wanted to know what kinda guys come over to the THG forum, and *Other* is too vague to be an option isnt it? You could always check "My own business" that sets you apart from "Somebody else's business" right?

I guess its Santa!

In India a lot of Sardarjis (Sikhs) are truckers, and the name Santa Singh is quite common among them. The word "Sant" means Saint. So a lot of Santas are truckers actually.

Here's a joke site of the sardarjis, <A HREF="http://www.santabanta.com" target="_new">http://www.santabanta.com</A> Enjoy!

The trade name is Stationary Engineer which is the most common if you work in a thermal power plant.
If you work in a thermal nuclear power plant they're called operators.
I went to school and graduated as a Power Engineer. (2 year college diploma)
When I graduated I was licenced as a 4th class stationary engineer and as a industrial gas fitter (natural gas pipefitter) in the province of Ontario. As well I had received a certificate as a commercial/industrial building operator.
After graduating I became a member of the Canadian Institute of Power Engineers. I got a job in a small power house in a private canning factory where I worked to get my third class stationary engineers licence. The work was hard and the pay was bad so I looked for a new job.
I found employment as a building operator in a Hospital. I worked there for two years but it wasn't a licenced power plant so I could not work toward my second class licence. I did a lot of work there and that was where I learned my trade. But since there wasn't any way to advance my career to second class I looked for another job.
I found a great job in a first class power plant. The plant was owned by Nestle. Nestle made chocolate syrup and ice tea and a lot of other products. Things were going great I worked as a waste water plant operator. The plant had a great deal of waste water from it's production and I was responsible for treating and testing the waste to meet provincal and federal guidlines.
Eight months after working there and on the day my daughter was born I received a layoff notice because the plant was closing. Well that was hell of a lot of stress to put on a guy. The plant was kept open for another six months and I looked for a new job like a mad man. I found a new job as a building operator in the biggest tower complex in Canada in downtown Toronto. It was a job and I needed one right away. It was out of my line of work since I wanted to be a power plant operator and wanted to get a second class licence. I took the job and on the flipside the complex has a refrigeration plant. The refrigeration plant is the largest one in Canada used to provide air conditioning to commercial office space. So instead of getting my second class stationary licence I got a class A refigeration operator licence and I now work as a shift engineer in a billion dollar commercial property.
The only electricity I get to generate is for emergency purpose but in the summer I operate enough chilled water equipment to cool 15000 private homes. Even in the winter when it is -5C outside we still have to run mechanical chilling equipment because of all the heat produced by the building occupants and their computers.

I am not allowed to say where I work but most people should be able to figure out it is a office tower complex in downtown Toronto. I guess I could give the name but I can't give any other info. The property is called the Toronto Dominion Centre. There are probably a few THGC members who work there or in one of the neighbouring towers.

I'm a self employed general contractor. I only do computers for fun. It brings many challenges,especially when overclocking to the max for that high score in 3Dmark.

I aint signing nothing!!!

Crashman, you seem like a busy man--full time student, two jobs, a husband, a father(?)......how the hell are you still able to make so many damn posts!!!

See a real naked pic of Britney Spears <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/stick_e_mouse" target="_new">here</A>!!!

I guess all Americans work for the government from 30~40% of the time depending on the state.

BTW whos kids are you looking after? I dont think you could have any kids if you are full time in college, full time at work and part time busy for government. Thats ~250% of your time, and kids take about 1/24th of a day to produce!
