Ok I know at least one of the readers of this blog will love this topic. His love of Asbestos surveying is comparable to how the late Jimmy Saville felt about young gi... It's just as perverse and weird and bizarre. He's how I got the job I'm in so I owe him big.
I don't want to bring the industry of asbestos surveying into disrepute (Sarcasm much). Or write anything that would cause problems. I could. It would be funny. Maybe only for me and the nameless individual. Ha, really I'm saying this to tease him. I imagine he is reading every word expecting a bombshell. It's going to happen...
Actually I began my professional vocations while in 6th form and during my first year of Uni, I registered a business - with my brother. It got dissolved after a year though. I preferred sole trading. I started out being a free-lance web developer. Which is still part of what I do in my job -it's web centric. To me it's a little different to 'designing a website'. HTML and CSS are fractional parts of it. It's like calling an Astronaut a deep sea diver because of the helmet.
It bothers me when clients or nameless individuals suggest changing something that I've considered. "Oh I see what you mean, just change it back." ARGH! If I had unlimited disk space I would have a nice history repository. Alas, I don't and so just changing it back is often not as straight forward as pressing an undo button. I guess that's what the client assumes.
Recently I got pretty much finished on a surveyor drawing UI. Oh how boring I hear you cry but no... Give it a chance: From design to completion:
 |
| The vision in the design doc I did |
 |
| An Early touch screen prototype based off of some Canvas Draw |
 |
| The anonymous one's first effort |
 |
| A few more tools... |
 |
| Evolution Not Revolution Notice the penises have gone? |
 |
| A few months later when working on the air testing... I did this. |
This gives you some idea of what sort of trivial nonsense I must endure.
No disability issues really other than the obvious. I need to find a better job!
Problem is, I'm lucky to have this and I know it.
