I’m a Chief Inspector, and over see an Inspection Staff in the Office of Highway Maintenance. Used to Specialize in anything Storm Drainage related, (including all Levee’s, Pumping Stations, etc.) but now my staff actually oversees and investigates all case request that come in through the entire department. So it doesn’t matter what the complaint is for nowadays, it’s handled through my department.

And no, tech support isn’t boring… but I can see the monotony due to the repetitiveness of it. Mostly dealing with the same issues/people all the time. … Did I mention, I also help with all the IT stuff. :slight_smile: I’m also the GIS person for the entire department. (It gets busy at times) :slight_smile:

I sell spare parts and consumables for machinery most often used to make things out of aluminium. It’s not exciting :joy:

(I came for the weight loss and stayed for my sanity... ) #184

Ahhh… Sounds exciting and rather diverse.
I didn’t even study IT. I just slipped into it because I was really good at googling stuff basically.

90% of my job is copy paste from all my self made mail templates.
And everyone comes to me with any question that is even remotely tech related.

"Dude, why don’t you google it yourself. It’s not my fault you never cared enough to learn English… "

Same here, I didn’t either. Just good with computers overall I guess. I’m actually self taught in GIS too.

Same here, and it’s been this way for a very long time. Hence, where the nick-name ‘Digital Dave’ came from :slight_smile: Though most folks nowadays think it’s due to me doing Digital Artwork now, but I actually got it from all the folks in my building who would call me before they reached out to the IT department. (Guess it was faster and easier for them.)

24 hours in.
First experience in not being fat adapted and fasting. It is very difficult after 4 days of junk. Experiencing hunger pangs and thinking of food constantly. Not like when I was fat adapted at all.Oh well, sleep soon, so I won’t be bothered.

Still on this week’s ADF plan and already at 25 hours today as I only ate once yesterday (early morning) so it’ll likely end up as about 48 hours.

Feeling OK. Was hungry when I first woke up but ignored it and walked Chunk. Bit hungry now after our walk but soon time to go to work so not worrying about it. I don’t have any food hidden at work at the moment as we are in the process of moving to a new building.

Currently at 30 hours and feeling cold and shaky, salt not helping, so I’m going to get myself some food when I get my lunch break today.

#189

I’m at 36 hours on another fast…and not a clean one this time. But I only add minimal amounts of a certain (highly favored) liquid fat (wink wink) to my coffee and tea. I can’t make the blur spoiler work this morning.

It’s very minimal, but makes me happy.

And I’m not shaky but @Shortstuff … oh yes. I’m cold.

I put up with it because of all the benefits, but I’m ready for a bit warmer weather.

But it always makes me question in my mind, whether I’m slowing my metabolism just a bit, or whether it’s just a normal reaction of This Mortal Coil, to conserve a bit of fuel for the hunt that hopefully will help me drag some freshly killed meat inside of my cave. :yum:

'Scuse the mixed metaphors.

FYI - The ‘blur spoiler’ is not working (or present) presently, but hoping it’s corrected soon? … Also, just so you know, the (@ call out) hasn’t been sending notifications either, so until it does, folks will just have to respond to call-outs, reply’s etc. when they come across them.
