Good afternoon folks! 

 

I've been told earlier this week I am being promoted. I went for a technical director role, but sadly, I wasn't grey haired enough (quite literally was said at one point). 

 

I have however, been told I am being promoted to Principal engineer. Scarily, and very antagonising for my imposter syndrome, this will make me the highest ranking engineer (who isn't a manager) in the business currently. 

 

I will be having a couple of drinks this weekend with my good lady to celebrate.

Thanks chaps. Looking forward to growing into the new role. 

 

For quite a while, I've been doing the job of a principal as I've largely backed off on the "design" side of things. And I'm getting involved on numerous projects, and taking on the big issues the designers hit in their projects with regulatory compliance, client issues, or consultants pit against us. I've been batting off people with "principal" and "consultant" in their job title for quite a while now so it's good to get the recognition.

work in parts of an very old factory that have leaky areas/hot/cold/damp and old machines older than me that draw way more power than what you have there that dont do that....just saying something isnt right.

It's not the power that cause it, it's a bad connection, too slack or too tight and it's cut through some of the strands, 

 

The badly trained numpties fitting smart meters were blamed for many a dead du and the odd fire.

thats what i said.

its not the power solely (unless the wiring is at fault in this case) as most of the machines at place i work at 400+ in a old building and thats way off the onsite substation, which makes our electricians pay attention when working on them. thats to refer to a previous post.

 

ITS FRIDAY YEY!!!

Smug mode is engaged.  I got my crappy old laptop to run Windows 11. So the need to purchase a new computer can be deferred.
