That is why he uses equipment rather than a shovel.

It shows lack of qualifications to get a civilized job.

We smart people use our brains not our muscles in
return for wages.

In other words just another
construction worker of the heavy equipment operator
type.

And what's wrong with that?

Now that is sick, really sick.

I have dust and cat hair wafting in the breezes when I open

this dry?

You listening to Ganz's incorrect job description?

You shouldn't because it makes you look about as
dumb as Ganz and you should avoid that at all costs.

I worked for the water company for ten years. My
job title was Leak Control Coordinator. I did not
read meters. I was in charge of leak control. Using
various means (mostly inputting computer readouts
of meters the meter readers had read) and a custom
database which I constructed to pinpoint areas of
concern where crews were directed to sound for
leaks and repair those found. I also spent plenty
of time using sounding instruments and other means
to locate leaks personally as the crews were not
too motivated to find the more difficult to find
leaks because they knew they would have to do
even more work repairing them.

I had my own office, computer, telephone extension,
etc. This is pretty far from reading meters.

So, buck up kiddo. You're talking to a professional
who made his fortune with his head because, although
my body is also superior to most, the head work is
what keeps me entertained. Any old cretin can
use his body - it takes nothing but training. Training
is for monkeys and football players.

I now understand why you bought a Coronado. It was so you could
maintain

your

leak management skills.

C'mon, Katy, being a former pet groomer you know how
cat hair is. It gets everywhere because it seems to have
no oil it in. It's so light it just floats around and gets
into everything. I make coffee and while drinking it
I notice cat hair floating, I cook an egg in the frying
pan and see a couple black kitty hairs in the white.
I used to try to remove it but I gave up. A little cat
hair certainly isn't going to give me a hairball.

My bilge is completely bone dry, but it sure isn't loaded with dust and
cat
hair!

Our bilge is dry, too, except when the oce cubes in the ice box melt....I
have this image of neal pouring kitty litter into his
bilge and leaving the hatch cover off so Little Neal can do his tinkle....

It was a challenging and rewarding job. I could do
my own thing over half the length of the Keys and
answered to no one because no one understood what
I was doing other than the results which were better
by a factor of three or four than most water companies.

Whereas most water utilities accept water losses of
from 30 to 40 percent as normal, I kept the losses in
the Upper Keys down around five to six percent. They
paid me thousands I saved them millions. They got
more than their money's worth.

Ok. I'm wrong. You were a leak-checker! Did
you have to have a couple of drinks first, or was
this something you really liked to do?

Yep, weren't you the guy using your brainpower to pan-handle when I was in
the Keys this summer?

Something besides making you look foolish?

I have no water, no car hair and no dust. I keep my boat clean.
You lose again!
