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.

Don't worry about it one iota. These fools
will continue to cling to their misconceptions
like a comfortable old pair of shoes.

Look how some of them still view President
Bush in the face of overwhelming evidence
that Mr. Bush is among the best Presidents
this country has ever had.

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?

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.

Something besides making you look foolish?

No. You don't excel at that. Once in a great while you manage it,
which is far exceeded by how often I make you look foolish.
