We all hear it on the radio. Seem to be in the business where if anyone is to blame it is us. You can wait 3 days for a dude to buff a weld but if you aren't there the minute the grinder hits the floor your the problem.
Good X-ray hands seem to be a rare find anymore. Ones that do it and do it well know it and seem to be abit messed up in the ole noggin. Maybe it's the radiation or maybe it was just in the water from their pond.

We are one of two guys in the group, either always out the gate on time or never out the gate on time. I personally am the latter. I seem to never be able to get my ass out the gate on time an donate.

Those who know what NDT/NDE stands for will get it of coarse. I had a fella ask me if I knew what NDT stands for when I told him to get a wire brush and prep his own welds. He didn't hand buff them......or make the end of shift.

When the coordinator walks in at 4:30 with the news that they just finished cleaning a tower for entry and have no permit ready and no man watch. The only real answer is "put wheels on that bitch and roll it to nightshift". Problem is I am usually the nightshift.....

If you have been in a plant long you have heard it. Need to get that Phaser ray done. We all also know you guys (and gals) are the newly crowned Diva's of the NDE world. Drive in passes, helpers, ECT. Get the hurt feelings going, I will wait.
