So the title pretty much says it all. I am so over the mundane. Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,Trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it.... Rinse repeat
IIt's not the job, its the fact that I am not an electrician, more an inspection operator with enough experience built up through the year to fix any fault I lay my eyes on. But one can only inspect the same things for so much while it looks the same as last time till it becomes soul crushing.
Breakdowns cost the company $$$$$$ but I wish on it as it gets the energy and brain juice flowing unless it is just one of the hoardes of motors that went POP (yeah yeah unless you have very special equipment you will not put on a cheap electric motor (<18.5kW) you will never detect the pop before it actually goes pop and you put in a new one). Truth be told, we don't even repair those as it is just not cost efficient, just send it off to some scrapyard. For home use they'd be great, for undisrupted use in a chemical environment, yeah no.
What I need is a good balance between the mundane (ag tog, weekly plant feedback meeting again, sit and play on my phone where no one can see me, hurray for Teams) to mega problem that arise and needs an engineer solution NOW with maybe a good dollop of some hands on too (I am an artisan after all)
