I have been on this board for a short while and I was wondering what people do for a living. By the counts on some of your posts some of you must me employed on this site:p

I am an IT manager for a small ceramic tile company. How do you guys earn your beer tokens:pixie:

Thats a coincendence mate. We have just had our place done last week and there coming on saturday to finish it off. They condemmed a few radios which didnt go down to well. Plus a few printers and monitors. So i have been busy replacing them this week. There doing the server on saturday i hope they don't fail that or i will be busy. Plus one of the monitors is from dell and under guarantee so i spent about an hour trying to tell the indian women (call was directed to india by dell to save money on english employment) all about health and safety in this country. I am not sure they have it over there

LOL Mmmm... a few radios sounds about right, but printers and monitors?

I've tested tens of thousands of the bleeders mate (literally), and they hardly ever fail... same with servers... :confused:

Tell me more and I'll tell ya if they've been doing the testing properly... stuff like that only usually fails the visual inspection (ie, if frikkin live wires are hanging out and so on).

BTW if you don't mind me askin', how much did they charge you per test? (Don't worry I don't wanna know the company, just wondering what peeps are charging up there). :p :p :p

Well the monitors failed on to much earth leakage. One of the monitors was only 18 months old so i couldn't believe it either. I Have'nt seen the certificates yet as its not completed so not sure about the radios and printers. As for how much they charge i never delt with them so not sure but i can't see how they benefit from failing items unless the firm have a computer component buisness which would be sneaky ;)

I hope they pass that server or there will be a lot of :cry: on monday morning .
