Whats the furthest you've travelled for a simple job?

[-Matt]

I have to travel from Bristol to near Edinburgh in Scotland on Monday, all just to look at a motorised satellite dish on a hospitality trailer that is not working......

I would so love it, if I find out its just a loose cable...

Im not so sure on the economics, however as a good employee, I shall do as im told....

Was the trip worth it financially? or was it a mates job?

No way, its more a case of keeping a major sports entity happy, for when a big job (involving 100's of thousands of £) comes along.

I worked out it would have cost easily £700 for me to be sent, just to take a look!

Anyway, I got there on Monday and decided it was toast! Water ingress into the circuit board.


And now today have the lovely job of driving up to Northern Ireland (where the trailer now is) today with a brand new dish to fit tomorrow!

Had to fly to Texas due to one of our engineers leaving some test code in a PLC and forgot to remove it before leaving site.

20 hours travelling there, 20min on site. Steak dinner, back on the plane home the next day.

3 DSOs on a horizontal ledge.

Me "whats the likelihood someone has knoked a coffee over?"

Embarrassed looks all round.

Did a full set of tests to show willing but really, does nobody ask these questions.

Earlier this year I made the treacherous journey all the way up that ladder to install a chandelier..
Twice.. 1 on each side

You better go back and take that scaffold down, C.
