A welders story!

A snap from my workdesk

So i've joined into the ranks of other who's struggling to climb the corporate ladder!. Well, its been months since i joined this company called Air Liquide Welding (pronounced as air lick-it) which is a French based company.

This company distributes the Safro-oerlikon brand in the Asia pacific region., in short its a brand know for its high price of welding electrodes/consumables and machines.

My rank as a welding engineer, means that i've got to be very good in memorizing standards,procedures and the parameters involved in the process. Not entirely difficult if you had good photographic memory, which unfortunately is missing in me.

So i've welded a lot and alot of metals, but i still suck in welding. Welding seems to be more difficult than it seems on the youtube, i really do have to learn to steady my hand and my movement, as steady as a surgeon's hands.

So far i'm quite satisfied with my job, and it's sad to say that "i loved my job".....Yes!!!, i've said it, i loved my job not because its cool or etc, but its because its got such a bright future for me. Where else can you find a job that can pay you up to hundreds of thousand per month in salary?.

OK,my salary is microscopic, my workplace is 2 hours drive away, its hard to work under a frenchie!, but in the end, i dont fuckin care, because life is always tough!
