- Thread starter AstroSam
- Start date
Count me in on that! Make it a double. I got up at 3:30 AM for a 6 AM flight to San Francisco. And it's raining here on top of that. And to add to the insult, the meeting I came here early for is cancelled, so I just get to work in a hotel (without any 1 1/2 year olds @Blind Owl) until the welcome dinner for the conference tonight.
Make it a triple.
Mission accomplished :grin::grin::grin:
As SCADA engineer I draw nice functional pictures, script, configure.
As PLC engineer I can be called a PLC programmer, but I also can be called application engineer.
As Technical Automation I truly am a programmer.
All above isn't possible without PCs or network, that is where I do IT hardware and networks.
When shit hits the fan, die Kakke ist am dampfen, stront aan de knikker, then I'm a shit digger.
Can you combine all above in one job description? If yes, then you are a genius and I finally know what I do for a living :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
No 1.5 year old? How do you live? Haha.
I've you love to live with a 1.5 year old - wait until they passed the 8, 9 or 10. Its so cool to make "big boy stuff" like tree branch fights in the wood, stealth firecracker actions on the day before silvester/New Years Eve or watching Luke burned parents ("woah! Look at that! Cool stuff!") while eating another kilo of potato chips, haha :D
My wife often shakes her head, telling me "I wonder: are you his dad or his brother??".
Well, since he hasn't a brother - yeah, I have to fill both rolls, haven't I? :grin:
Cheers, have a good one!

Hm, in our company such jewels are named "IT Expert Manager". And those guys are getting hell of monthly earnings, like 6, 7k per month.
They intended to make a new job description for me, technical specialist, but job descriptions are hard to make. I must let you talk to my boss about the 6 - 7k
My employer is one of the biggest german companies. I'm working here since 17 years, and inbetween I looked around for "better options". As it turned out, the level of monthly salary is way above those of small or mid sized companies. So you can choose: do I want to have a job for the fun but less money - or do I want to have a higher "stress level" but moar money?
Due to my monthly costs especially for the house, I finally choose the second option. Though I'm unsure if I will reach retirement age. But I'm always telling me: I had - in a positive way - a hell of a good youth, lots of party and fun. The rest of my life is work and concern, manage everything in a good way, all for the kids; minor fun for me. But as I said: I've had my fun. And when I'll die someday its of no further interest for me ;)

I like my coffee like I like my women, hot, large, and free trade- wait, whaa..?
I woke up to severe thunder storms and a flash flood warning. No run for me today. Time to work on the ol' simpit, I guess.

*sigh* I think I will restart the old running machine aka me in one or two weeks. Paused with sports for almost a year, but I think that - even if it won't be 20 or 30 km anymore - 5 to 10 km won't hurt my physis ;)
Have a good day @Just Jake !
I've been in San Francisco for about 24 hours now and it's rained every minute that I have been here. Did I fly to Seattle by mistake? No going for a walk/run here.
I need a waffle... and a cup of tea... yep, tea. This timezone thing is tougher then I imagined x.x
I think I hurt my knee on the elliptical the other day. I get a sharp pain when I bend my knee and pull gently in one direction. I hope it's not my tendon...
I ran out of coffee so now I am drinking beer. it's not quite the same?
I'm here all week. Be back in Colorado on Friday. My wife tells me the weekend is supposed to be 70 degrees F (I guess that's about 20 Celsius?). BTW, it stopped raining about mid-day, so 48 hours of pouring rain.
I'll call it the same. I've switched to beer now too. Nothing like all day in a sales conference :sleeping: to drive one to the beer rather than the coffee! :beers: :laughing:
Yes! And straight into a new semester, Game Engineering! I get sooo sleepy around 16.00 hours!
