AAAWWW YEEEAAAHHH BOIII!!!!

hahahahahahahaha <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

damn i wish i could play on the computer all day, all i do is sit in a chiar and sometimes fall asleep and barely do work at my day job, night job is a different story gotta make money to pay for this truck somehow

i feel ya dog

I would much rather put in a 16hr day out on a project then 4hrs at a desk in front of a computer

I used to say the same thing. I had been working in the field, full-time, running equipment, doing electrical work and pretty much everything else, since I was 17. I worked for several companys, including my Dad's, so I'm pretty well rounded in most trades. I thought I would never take a desk job.

Eventually, I started taking Foreman positions for a couple of different G.C.'s, then I started working as a Superintendant for a company that did a lot of work for the oil companys. I liked being a Super. Lots of time in the field, but when it gets too hot/cold, you still get a nice climate controlled trailer to hang out in.

When the Project Management position opened, I wasn't really interested at first. Then I started thinking about the future.

It's really kinda cool. I still get alot of field time, I just don't get dirty. The pay is great, and I have *TONS* of perks. My office is about 45 mins from my house, so I don't have to drive all over California, and deal with SoCal traffic, to get to work anymore.

However, my wife does give me a hard time about "my hands getting softer and my belly getting bigger".

Oh well.

I do my share of desk time but I hate it
well then agine I'm just a dumb pipe welder/iron worker

dude im in the same boat as you! i work for txdot(tx dept of trans.)im an engineer inspector i go out and inspect contractors work. right now im currently inspecting the build up of hwy 281! i did 4 1/2 yrs of feild work before getting promoted to inspector this last january. all day im on this damn computer surfing the net and like the mcdonalds commercials "im loving it!" i would not want to back in the filed again! as for the softer hands and belly getting bigger my wife says the exact same fucking thing dude! hahahaha

blah try working 8 -9 hours a day at the "day job" hten going home to my shop to work another 6-8 hours on somebody else trucks...... but hey one of these days i get rid of the day job and just build trucks, maybe even my own if i ever get the time LOL

I feel yea when I'M working its 10 plus hrs a day and 6, 7 days a week then I come home and work at my little gig of making ornamental iron stuff and depinding on the location of the job I'm gone up to 16hrs before I get back home the days that I do end up at a desk I'M wiped out when I get home

my biggest problem with office work is I get bored and then I loose sight of task at hand
