Default Pictures at work

I Had an idea, some of us have interesting jobs, while others have interesting times at work., & some are blessed with both, and of course pictures will be taken. Well I have pictures that I have collected over time I figured why not share & hope that it would catch on & others will do the same.
So I thought that it would work like this:
With the rule that the picture/s must come from your work day.
A brief description of your line of work. Why if you want to says so.
A short caption with the picture.

Myself I work Ems on the nite shift. Nite shift ems is different on many levels, full of people with questionable sensibility, complete crazy, & the inebriated. On occasion I actually help someone that is in need of genuine help or just simply help someone have a better day.

Pictures: something unique, a situation, a place or an object that not everyone would encounter.

A friend of mine (in the white shirt), that chose to jump in for the save. I had to improvise this picture, don’t always get to take the picture in this line of work.
 
Please use the best of common sense when posting any picture.

Tell us about your work place.
Have a happy Labor Day.

My job isn't very exciting, usually lol. I work for a well servicing company in the oil fields in western North Dakota. The place is a wasteland (compared to where I live).

The second photo is an awesome sunset photo I snapped. Several funnel clouds touched down that evening....

I work in this building



or this building (They're connected on the concourse level, so 'technically' they're only one building)




And this guy (Bernanke) ate lunch with me once just because I looked like someone interesting to talk with




Saw this guy (Greenspan), but never talked to him





This guy is pretty cool... bow ties, piercings, awesome moustache...

subscribed. Truck driver, not too many cool photo ops but I'll snap something if I get some intersting cargo or a challenging drop site, they both occasionally happen.

great off-topic thread idea, bet everyone has something interesting to share.

my work allows me to travel to a lot of places, which to me is probably more interesting than the job itself. If you've ever watched the show "how it's made", you already have some idea of what most of my job involves -- i spend time on plant manufacturing floors and in data centers working with the computers that control manufacturing for regulated industries (drugs, chemicals, food).

most places i go are pretty sensitive to having pictures taken of their sites or processes, but i'm sure i have a few around i can come up with.

Some of those driving in snow storm pics you had were pretty interesting...

Well, I went through some of my old "misc" folders of pics and found a few:

Demon, U propably meant these:


Just another beautiful winter day round here.


The same place, about 200 yards forward one another day, a Polish trucker got a crash course on driving in slushy snow.


My front rim after the first pic. Bought studded snow tires for next winter, still gotta swap all 4 back tires before the snow, currently my set could be approved by FIA for track slicks...


This was a bit of a head-scratcher...


I was told to load from bay 62. Take a guess did I...

A vid of one day at work.
Won`t embed, but click on the pic if U want to see it. Pretty boring actually, just me driving around Lahti, but the weather that day was somewhat interesting...


...And the office itself:

A `04 MAN TGA 18.313 FLLC. 12litres straight six, packs a decent punch but guzzles enormous amounts of diesel compared to it`s average cargo load. It normally consumes about 29-30 litres/100km which equates around 8 MPG

As with any job in retail, we get our rushes and our slow spots. We also get a fair share of interesting bikes from time to time, but everyone's out riding since we're nearing the end of the season.

Get to drool over the king of kings all day:

And here's something a bit different, a free pen holder for joining team Yoshimura (They engrave it and it's real CF, not amazing, but pretty cool):
