Oh yeah! Forgot one:
Crane Operator- The person who is responsible for holding you up for long periods of time

 

just did... we'll see how it turns out lol (**fingers crossed**) although i didnt put it up as eloquently as you did, i was tempted to copy and paste your intro lol

 

now that most of terminology has been put out,let me add some essentials,hard hat,gloves,safety vest,and above all comfortable steel toe boots are a must.I almost lost 2 of my toes 4 months ago because i got to comfortable with a simple part of my job that ive done hundreds of times without incident,it only takes once,and has cost me the last 4 months off.

 

What happened?

 

dropped a 12x12x 3ft oak block off my RGN wearing my leather loafer shoes,bad move,my big toe will never be the same again have a toe nail may take another year to heal,hopefully i will get my return to work release this week.so like I said,never get over comfortable.
