I don't get paid much but, gotta support the family business (hopefully in the end it'll be mine :D ). taking long distance electrician course atm. went to college for property appraiser but it didn't pan out.

Spare parts Interpreter.....lets see who can guess what that is.. I've done an apprencticeship as a motor mechanic and have now also gotten my trade ticket for Interpreting (only recently recognised as a trade here in Aus). All that and its only taken 20 years.......

I assume it means that you interpret what parts a customer requires?

Cone penetration:confused: Sounds grim and illegal lol

Thats the usual response:D Would take a while to explain, but in a nutshell its a type of geotechnical investigation. I live in hotels monday - friday (writing this from my hotel room), spend all week driving from one corner of the cuntry to another, pushing cones in the ground with 25 ton truck/crawler and i do the same thing offshore hanging off the edge of huge boats and drill platforms.

Cool man never heard of that line of work.

Personally though i prefer the sound of cone penetraion lol;)

when people phone while I'm working, I can answer with "I'm Penetrating" and I get to buy condoms 50 at a time, much to the embarrassment of the till tart working the checkout at tesco/boots, and charge it to company expenses! :cool:

Best explain that one a bit better mate coz at the moment you sound like a guy that spends all his time in hotels posh wanking.... alot!
