I'll have to wait for my next life before I can hope to get into one of

That's like the story of Louis Chevrolet being a designer for GM's
Buick Motor Division.

He broke away from Buick and started making his own, with a quote.

"Here I was, designing cars [Buick] that I myself couldn't afford."



Interesting......but there is a big difference between designing and
draughting. I just draw what they think will work, then draw it all
again when they find out the 'details' don't fit.

I'd never make a sailor anyway, I don't like the sea (or any deep
water). Even ferry crossings give me the jitters! Too many jaws movies
and reality footage of boats going down in cold water.......

Draughting? Did you man drafting? Driving? I'm confused.

Seeing that Brian is from New Zeland, I'm sure that it is what we would
call "drafting".

I could be wrong, though.

Draughting?


yep, drawing up plans/layouts for piping and petro-chemical pressure
vessels.



Did you man drafting?


No, thats the sorting of livestock into different groups.




Driving?


No, thats either the herding livestock or operating a vehicle.



I'm confused.



LOL...... I can't help with personal problems.
