I go to work for 16 and come back to gas mileage? WTF?

Nate - my real, real job is engineering account management at / for a VERY large coffee company in Seattle. 60 - 80 hours / week easy Monday - Friday with international travel the norm (it sucks). I design and make coffee packaging for a living (cups, sleeves, food, retail pkg etc.).

My secondary job is to help out a buddy on the weekends with NDE inspection. Structural xray, magnetic, ultrasonic inspection etc. on awesome [Bleeeeep!]. This is the job I was talking about, but you would do it full time. 60 - 80 hours week or more. Right now we are the doing Simpson Pulp Mill shutdown in your back yard. I've spent the last 2 weekends inside of gnarley ass pulp mill tanks shooting steel with batman level technology [Bleeeeep!]. Today I spent 16 hours inside of a tank the size of a VW bug, in the pitch black, with a special black light, a super 220 volt magnet and cancer causing glow in the dark magnetic particles looking for cracks in 1" thick steel. The pay is good and the work is fun -but it is real work, so you can't be a pansy.

I do this on the weekends for FUN after already putting in 60 - 80 in a damn suit. I line my pockets with some walking around money and help out a best friend.

If interested, shoot me a PM. Same for anyone else.

This is my only post tonight. I gotta be in a tank in Tacoma at 6 am and I live in Snohomish. FML...
