Carte Blanche, well... or something like it
The only thing about working in a technical directorate is the fact that there is lots of emphasis on TECHNICAL. It's not the same as the projects guys upstairs with their contractor chasing routine and the rest of the lot doing whatever they do.
It's been 4 months into the job, still a thorough nube around the office, with notes and books piled high in an endeavour to disect and assimilate one's self with the issues of welding and whatever else Materials and Corrosion is all about. You'd be surprised at how much there is to know and argue about when it comes to rust. Believe me, it's worth all that talk... something around the tune of 276 billion dollars a year is lost to corrosion (not just rust, but close).
However, I digress back to my original point that when one is 4 months into the job and still trying to keep that head above water, it's not funny when a much senior person, say with about 25 years experience asks this nube for an honest opinion on the course of action, and expects a valid answer.
IT FREAKS ME OUT!
WIth 14 million dollars in the pipes (quite literally, and that's small btw) you'd hope these guys know what they're doing. If anything goes... well, it wasn't me!
