Try working in an engineering shop, CINDERS, everything under the sun gets said to you there. Goes in one ear and out the other.

I think a 35 year stint in construction will suffice me 17.5 as a crane operator (Lever attendant to the masses) I suffered all the time with engineers that wanted "X" tonnes lifted at "X" radius despite what the load charts said there were some heated exchanges to do the earthworks to move the crane so it could be accomplished the lift, I made up a phrase "Desperate solutions to impossible situations" after a long career in the hire crane game.
And if you really want to be the bottom feeder in a world full of $hite try being a Safety Advisor which is my gig now the most hated person on site by both sides of the mix, I have seen the worst of construction one site I was on in the 80's for 2.5 years there were 3 fatals on site one was with a firm I was working for they say it does not affect you well it does when they say out the gate we have just had a work mate killed luckily for me I did not know the bloke but pretty sad all the same.
