Is that why your code name is Screem? You could of gone w/ stopple but then nobody would know what you're talking about. Being in highways I got to see a lot of big and small lines tapped. Always exciting when gas started to blow. It always got the neighbors attention when they smelled the gas and thought they heard a jet engine.  ;)
 
Hey screamin nice that somebody here knows what hotapping is al about! Thats when the job gets fun!!...little blowin gas...gets most everbody on the jobsite a little puckered up....and the local FD starts running around and tries to start directing operations...thats when i go hang by my truck. until they wear themselves out a little and become willing to let those who know do thier jobs

Guess our department has had so many we just stay back (out of the hot zone) and watch... only get excited when we see the gas guys running around screaming.... then it's time to get worried. :nervous: Nothing like the sound of a leak in a high pressure line though it will definitely get your attention.

Dood. we sure appreciate it when Deptartments work with us, unfortunatley that has not always been the case...recently we had a department deny us access to the hot zone....they saturated the area with water (filled excavated hole with water)...I still had to go in with line pressure blowing and det my squeeze off tools to stop the escaping gas...only now I'm working in mud and water blowing,
   That being said...most of the local depts are great to work with...the best ones ask what we need, what they can do assist....we normally like to have them charge a line and help establish a safe zone....and let us do what we do in the hotzone

Just a humble high school teacher here.  Don't have plans to be a principal or anything more than I am right now.  Love the kids and don't want to change. :)

Hello my name is Jeff. I am the Maintenance Supervisor on an Oil Rig in Mexico. I have been doing this for five years. I work 30 days and go home for 26. When the wife and children don't have me doing  projects. I like to go for rides. Anywhere between Southeast Texas and Southwest La. I have been blessed to have a great job. To be able to provide for my Family and have the little extras ( two H.D's) in life. Before working on an Oil Rig, I worked seventeen years in a machine shop as a Machinist in the semiconductor business. Spending time away from my Family has been the hardest part of my job. As I am now 130 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico in the Yucatan . Just a few minutes ago I visited my Wife on the phone. Most of our conversation was about our last Motorcycle ride together and what were we plan to ride when I get home. That right there is enough to hold me over until I get home.  Stay Safe.........

I changed jobs in July of 08 and moved, after 8 years, from the National Telecommuncations Administration to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) where I'm the Disaster Emergency Communications Programs Chief.  Working for FEMA has been great.  I plan on staying here for the rest of my Federal career.

   :devil:

  Can you get us some money down here in New Orleans? Seem to be having problems down here with the FEMA office!!! :pepper: :pineapple: :apple:

It's interesting, I don't think many here (at least, among the respondents) are familiar with the term Investment Banker, or Investment Banking firm. 

If I may... (without being tarred/feathered), out of curiosity, does anyone know the difference between a BANK, a BROKERAGE FIRM, and an INVESTMENT BANKING FIRM?  And for that matter, any idea of the history? 

For those who don't care, change the channel!!!



 But.....do you know the difference between a doctor, lawyer and an indian chief! :huepfenjump3:

21 years ago, I started one of the first ten national VA programs to help homeless veterans of our military by providing them with a place to obtain rehabilitative and health care serivces to give them the opportunity to turn their lives around. The best part of that job was being able to see the results through what the veterans acoomplished afte completing the program. Today I am still working with veterans, but as the associate director and business manager of the Mental Health Division of a VA hospital in the Chicago area. I didn't make a lot of money doing what I chose to do, but it has its' rewards when I see the lives I had a part in helping change for the better.  :)
