So I am sat here this morning looking at a computer screen and if I'm being honest I can't really be arsed 😄 So I thought I would ask what people do for work and what are your day to day tasks like?
For me I design relatively simple mechanical building services for residential complexes, literally right now I am producing a schematic for the water supply around the building, working out sizes of pipes and the routes they will be taking, little snippet below -
Generally my work day can be quite varied, some days design team meetings, others doing drawings like the above, others it's meeting suppliers or sub-contractors and coming up at the end of this month is the first 3d project we are doing internally (which as the others in the design team have no experience of Revit I will likely be leading).
So yeah what do you get up to in your work day?
Please tell me you're one of the good guys who prints a test plot to make sure you can read it all clearly?...not like one of those work experience consultants who draw gas lines in yellow so you can hardly see it on WHITE paper!! 🤬
I’m Head of Physical Production for a performance capture company called The Imaginarium Studios. My day to day job is preparing for projects by breaking down scripts into mocap friendly shots, designing and building mocap volumes as well as a load of tech/production stuff. I also run digital line up, that’s where we take an environment in a game engine and replicate it in our stage. It’s essentially marking out where walls, ramps, stairs, chairs etc should be in the real world.
Rubbish, you're an undercover spy with an 00-number because you never tell us where you are or what you're working on!!
This is true enough, I'm certainly guilty of giving my tuppence on plenty of occssions... and to be fair, me spouting off on politics is what we're mostly trying to avoid here, because i could do so very easily multiple times a day, on a daily basis lol
I soooo wanted to put a comment up about this Phil but thought "No, nothing to see here, move along" 😘😂😂😂
OK Phil, but, for context, he was speaking in a debate entitled “has wokeness gone too far?” which is probably why the term was used so frequently.
I don’t really think it’s vacuous bollocks to point out that, although it may have been the industrial revolution that was the beginning of global warming, a major factor now is disadvantaged people who just want to make their own lives better.
Also, again for context, he was saying to the people he was debating with, they should be working harder to make scientific and technical breakthroughs towards clean energy that was cheap i.e. affordable for the people in the world who can only currently afford fossil fuels. I don’t think that’s vacuous bollocks either
Just my opinion and I’ll raise you to a threepenny bit 😘
Hope it stays mild but listen to your body and rest when you need to. I caught it but, thankfully, I had been vaccinated so the effects were mild, like having flu for a couple of days. Still took me a while to be 100% though
"Hoy is eleven-times aworld championand six-times anOlympicchampion. With a total of seven Olympic medals, six gold and one silver, Hoy is the second most decorated Olympic cyclist of all time. Between 2012 and 2021 he was the most successful British Olympian and the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time."
Christopher Lee.
I’ll give you Sir Chris Hoy. Chris Cornell, although influential, is several levels lower than Grohl and Bowie and not even you can compare Dracula with Del Boy/Frost/Granville/etc
Dave is winning again? How is this possible? There are far more famous people called Chris! Christopher Columbus, Saint Christopher, Kriss Akabusi (yeah it's spelt differently but it's still Chris), Kris Kross. The list goes on!
How many famous Dave's are there? One: David Attenborough. Yeah admittedly he's an absolute legend and one of the greatest people to ever live, but you can't base this competition on one person.
(sigh)
I was going to stay out of this but, given the drivel above (thank goodness he didn't stoop so low as to include Christopher Biggins) I think, on behalf of all Daves I need to throw a few more in to back up the legendary David Attenborough.....
I think that's game over boyz...the cream will always rise to the top and they're all Daves
DaveyDave and I got the same tattoos to mark passing our karate shodan (black belt) gradings. He’s got a few more dates on his now he’s up to 3rd dan 👍
You may have seen different but from my point of view a lot of the heating focus has been around heat networks so that the gas boilers can be swapped out down the line, its just a change of heat source then (and its fairly efficient combined with HIU’s). Its the heat source that people are still not sure of, we have worked quite closely with the guys that have written CP1 for CIBSE and been some of the early adopters of their revised guidance (in fact we were installing heat networks based on the Danish standards prior to CIBSE adopti g it and creating their version (though back then I only cadded it all!)
I take it the boiler swap out is for ASHP or similar and you have to ensure the network is sized large enough to cope with low grade heat? This is my worry with the current "No new gas boilers from 2030 (I think that's the date) " The politicians think it's wonderful but who will tell Joe Public it's not a straight swop? Bigger radiators will be needed and possibly bigger pipework in addition to probable thermal insulation upgrades to the property structure.
Looking ahead, are our street electrical infrastructures man enough to suddenly cope with the extra load from ASHP? It obviously won't happen over night but.... Also how would the additional loading impact the phase sharing in the street?
My other big concern, whenever I see big new housing developments announced, is..... I hope you've checked the local drainage / water / utility services for capacity. They didn't do that once in my area to a big development and we had months of roadworks while they upgraded the gas mains. No-one admitted it but you didn't need to be a rocket scientist (just a services engineer!) to figure it out!
Retired plumbing and heating engineer/estimator/project manager here Luseth. HNC Building Services was as far as I got but this industry can be a carousel at times - correct @Diddums? - and I moved around regularly until I found a niche in a small family company and stayed there 19 years! 😂
This resonates really deeply with me as the only voice recording I have of Anne is our church answerphone message. So if you’re videoing the kids, grandkids, spouses, partners, mum or dad, get them to talk as well. Believe me, it’s worth it ❤️
