ode to a service engineer
A combination of, for once, too much time on my hands, beer and an overly creative mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k99h5aikc4g
It's all the same, only the ships will change
Everyday it seems we're working all day
Another place where the fishes aint so cold
I'd work all night just to get it done
[Chorus:]
Refrigeration service, on a steel deck I walk
I'm wanted day and night
Wanted day and night
Sometimes Its screws, sometimes it's pistons
And the people I meet always make something wrong
Sometimes you tell the day
By the hours that you work
And times when you're alone all you do is work
[Chorus]
Refrigeration service, on a steel deck I walk
I'm wanted day and night
Wanted day and night
Refrigeration service, on a steel deck I walk
I'm wanted day and night
Wanted day and night
I walk these ships, I got a toolbox in my hand
I talk to chiefs, cause they know what went down
I lift heavy gear, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million problems an I've fixed them all!
Refrigeration service, on a steel deck I walk
I'm wanted day and night
Refrigeration service, I got the night to fix it all
I'm wanted day and night
Wanted day and night

Re: ode to a service engineer
the lady wants me to give her some loving, But right now, I'm leaning towards your advise
Made this thing a long long time ago before I realised that we were doing premium work at all the clocks hours for a little more than a pat on the shoulder and a smile and loving it
I keep reading about the elevator engineers going on strike to get better pay and how the whole country (Norway) will grind to a halt if they are not back to work in less than a week I wonder what would happen if us ref guys did that, went on strike for a few weeks, and then I wonder... why havent we done that?-Cheers-

Oh NO,
Not the Norwegian lift engineers on strike, that will be horrible for sure.
I remember a couple of years ago when there were a long power failure in Oslo (Capital of Norway), I think it lasted for a day or so.
People were stranded everywhere, they even had to call in the military to help the fire brigade rescue people stuck on escalators.

Re: ode to a service engineer
One chap I knew, in London, went back to a completed refurb site with another chap to make a phone call, on a Friday afternoon. Quue to use site phone at Job#2 was too long.
The refrbed site was not yet occupied -- just security in parts of building. The two of them got stuck in the lift, heading up to the 5th floor. They were stuck there from Friday 2:30pm ish through to Sunday late afternoon, when finally a security guard heard them and sorted things out.
When I next met him he was boasting proudly of holding the record for being trapped in a lift (maybe just London/UK). That was about 10-15yrs ago, so could have been broken since then.
Don't mention lift engineers to him!
