I've got a new job!! and I'm rather happy about it, those of you know me well will know I've had an 'interesting' experience over the last 12 months, and I'm rather glad for some sanity.
I'm rather pleased to be back in the Energy Sector proper, and yes that does mean I'm in Oil and Gas but not all of it. To be fair the biggest twist in all this resurgent work load is that I am back at the one place I didn't think I'd be going back to, and one that I very much doubt Danny Bahar will ever pass again. Yes I'm back at the place that became my second home for so long....The Hethel Engineering Centre...but this time I'm not a civil servant, this time I'm business developing for a control system company, PROEON Systems Ltd.
So what does that all mean, well it means I get to be involved in something I've been fascinated with since I was a boy, Jet Engines!!! yes that's right! bot not in the way you think, or you might conclude...I'm not talking about the jet engine that you have dangling on the bottom of your Ryan air flight to London Leeds airport, I mean static engines, for power generation... about the only time you can get up close and personal to a jet engine running at full tilt on the ground doing a job...
and I'm not talking little turbines that you see on trolleys in airport used to start 747's...I mean the type of engines as a school boy you read about in cut-away in the Eagle...Avons, Olympus, etc.
but that's not all we do and I'm so happy that when I was in college I did automation and control systems for industrial applications. I really never thought I'd ever need to use that information ever again, but now I have found that it has become invaluable.
The rest of the time I've been actually quite relaxed, I've even had time to enjoy a bit of an outing to that British Sanctity of Sunday, the pub by the river...The only down side is....what happened to the Sun! I've been waiting for it for so long......
Spot the sun competition, mark a cross where you think the sun is.
So lessons learnt this week...
Don't be 'on the take' in a company like Lotus (allegedly) you'll get caught....
never burn your bridges or piss people off, it's just not worth it....
and you should never forget your education...it comes in handy some where....
Next time I'll be preparing for a Show...
