I spent 2 yrs of my life battling with "Consultants" and "designers" on a house in Regents Park, London (£22m house) Installing a complicated hvac heat pump system, one that from the very start I warned wouldn't work, and after it was finished I had a meeting with the "consultants" their lawyers and their clients, under threat of court action, and sat down in this big intimidating board room, and pulled out a wad of letters and e-mails between myself and all involved stating at various stages along the job that there were major conflicts and problems with the systems and advising of the corrections or alterations needed, and their replies "thanking" me for my concerns but as I was "just" contracted to do the install.....it was a quick meeting;)

Man, that was THE sweetest "I told you so" moment

And the long, silent , walk out of the board room was the icing on the cake,

I love my job some days, not every day, but just some days:D
 
I'm a Water Treatment Plant Operator. Iwas a assembly line worker for 10 years, and a auto mechanic for 17 years. Hopefully this is my last job, only 7 years till retirement!!!

Construction

Estimator, currently. I would have been fired :eek: if I estimated how much it was going to cost to bring my truck back to life!
 
Just a lowly A-space engineer. Mostly commercial, but have been quite fortunate during my "career". Looking forward to retirement (could be any moment now-lol),
Cheers ya'll

I'll take "J" for Janitor, "K" for Keypunch Operator, "L" for Laborer, "X" for Xenophobic Dictator - as I have my own business. Oh, and I'll take "Y" for Yodeling Instructor because I'm teaching my kids to play guitar and sing...;)

I think that I might borrow X as a NASA X-ray Astrophysicist, or perhaps R for Rocket Scientist. Sounds impressive but I bow to the knowledgeable folks on this site.

I have had a few moments like that as well, none that went to court fortunately. I have only been out of engineering school for 5 yrs. So I am a few yrs away from retirement. At least I have my retirement truck ready to go right;)
