Come on, everyone! What do you do?

Hi all.
I'm a building services engineer specialising in vertical transportation (lifts, escalators, autowalks etc) and also a bit of mechanical services (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). The last 5 years have been as a consulting engineer. After saying that I have just changed jobs so I'm now regional manager for a fire protection company.

Had my Paso for 2 years now, reliving my youth as many years ago I had 2 bevel drives; a 750 Sport and then a 900 GTS.

Occupation? I'm Chief Mate on a chemical tanker running in the US Coastwise product trades. Currently on a time charter with Citgo, hauling products from their refinery in Lake Charles, Louisiana to receivers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.



But when I retire, I'm going to open a shop to repair and restore older Ducati motorcycles! Sorry, no 999's need apply!

It's interesting that you're noticing trends in the kind of people that own Pasos. I have my own observations in my industry, what type of women marry sailors. 3 out of 9 officers on this ship are married to nurses, which seems statistically very high. Not sure what it means, other than they chose their career based on wanting to help people with something wrong with them, and anyone is this line of work definitely has got something wrong with them!

It looks like I'm waking up a topic that's been sleeping for quite awhile.

I'm a operating engineer, I don't think it will help your engineer tally though, since it's just a fancy title for a heavy equipment operator. I have run backhoes, crawlers, dozers, trenchers, compactors, skidloaders, etc.. I recently went back to running a conveyor, which is the machine I started out on. It is a truck mounted machine that pours concrete, stone, or just about any loose material.

Here is a picture of the machine I am currently running.

As Tom Waits puts it

I've been a cabbie and a stock clerk,
And a soda fountain jock jerk,
And a manic mechanic on cars"

But really:
5 years as a barrista
1 year as a Lambretta mechanic
6 years as owner-operator of hotel/cafe/bar
Same 6 years on local city council
2 years as transportation planner (now planning the arrival of a 750 Sport to compliment the 851 presently in the garage).[/i]
