Well my life is looking pretty dull now. I do cathodic protection installations and testing on pipelines, which seems to bring me into a lot of contact with reptiles.
Driving, or chasing the water truck around and drifting, the $5 million mine trucks looks like it could be a new career change for me but

Wow. I can't really see what's going on in that video. Are you on an elevated, insulated platform or the like? Is it in a power substation or something like that?
Stewart

I'm feeling slightly inadequate now after seeing what interesting/dangerous/crazy type jobs that people do out there. I love what I do but would love to try some of these peoples jobs for a day or two. I think libbo's truck driving in the mines tops my list to try.. Yet, wouldn't your job on the pipelines give you a bit of travel?

katgurl, the travel is good when you are in a nice town. It wears very thin when you are constantly in uninhabited parts of Australia. They generally get upset when you go herping or venture away from the camp boundries after work hours so it becomes very boring very quick. You can only hear the same stories so many times if you know what i mean.
Doesn't do much for the married life either, most pipeliners end up divorced.

I always wanted to be a marine biologist. Then I discovered I get violently sea sick. Screwed my plans up big time. I've got an unused degree in marine biology if you want it.
