New Job

[wellywood]

After winding-up a business and being just short of pension age, I needed something to fund my woodworking addiction.
I spotted an ad for a meter reader for a local power company who wanted someone to read 'remote' meters.
Now armed with a 4WD and go-anywhere keys I get to go places Joe Public often can't, like the one in the pic below.
I start at eight a.m. and am usually home by 2.30 p.m.
And they pay me for it!
I should have done this years ago!

Nice!

My kind of job, well after the mortgage is paid.

A mate of mine worked for national grid and had to survey the lines looking at tree growth and he had go anywhere keys! Got to do some lovely off roading

Now that's what I call falling on you feet.

To meet OSH requirements I had to complete a 4WD training course.
To demonstrate how far over the vehicle would tip without falling, the instructor had me pushed over until he could hold it balanced.
I was inside screaming like a little girl. :shock:

It's quite good when you get say NSF and OSR off the ground. So the car is balanced on two wheels. If you get it balanced right you can easily rock it with just one finger.
