    Cool Zen and refrigeration engineers



    This is just to see if any one out there has experienced this before, it only happens to me in the summer when the calls come flooding in.
    It always starts after the first job of the day, then I seem to go into auto pilot Buddhists call it a state of mindfulness you are not thinking about anything just being in that moment, I can travel from one job to the next not knowing how I got there always find a parking place before hand I seem to know what’s wrong with the piece of kit. Repair it and float on, onto the next and so on all day every thing is just right, but as in life you have yen and yan you get crapy days.
    But has any one out there had the same feeling

    Re: Zen and refrigeration engineers

    Hi Jan,
    I get it all the time travelling around the M25.
    One Min i am leaving Watford the next Min i am pulling off it at the M11 junction, What happenened in between did i fall asleep if so why am i not in the central reservation .

    Definate autopilot taking over or maybe its just that i spend so much time on that road that there is never anything new to register in my mind.

    Regards

    Raymond

    Hi jan

    Or when you make an abbreviated note in your diary on the monday of where you have just been,then when you come to do your time sheet on the friday the abbreviated note means nothing.Thats what I love about this job your weekends last longer than your weekdays even though you can put in 60 hours plus.

    I,m sure someone will come up with a moral to that statment

    Regards

    Bernard

    Talking Re: Zen and refrigeration engineers

    Hi Bernard
    I think the ability to alter time is some thing a engineer can do, like when you are traveling and are getting paid overtime you seem to travel slower especially on a Sunday

    Re: Zen and refrigeration engineers

    Auto route is another, I can navigate to most places on auto pilot but when it comes to giving someone direction I,m hopeless.

    Or the days when you find that parking space outside the shop everytime unfortunately there is also the days when you need your bergan and boots

    Regards
