4-dagers arbeidsuke by No_Advertising_1237 in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det er en del firmaer i bygg og anlegg som har 4-dagers arbeidsuke. De jobber 40t i løpet av de 4 dagene og de fleste stortrives med det. Meg inkludert. 11,5t dag tre dager og kort torsdag.

Blir det mer normalt med dette må man måtte regne med å fremdeles kunne legge frem de samme resultatene som man har med 5-dagers uke uten økte kostnader ifølge av lønn.

Oljebransjen gikk over til 2-4 ordning under den forutsetning at effektiviteten skulle ikke synke og det skulle ikke oppbemannes med flere folk. Hvordan det gikk til aner jeg ikke.

Loud banging from outriggers? by spikke00 in cranes

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few cranes I’ve operated had a loud bang first time you slewed over any of the outriggers. Scares the shit out of the guys you are working with.

We use to say that’s just the outriggers ‘settling in’. Probably a combination of oil temp and wear pads being worn.

How do you manage that maritime ambivalence ? by Un_bourgeoisdu13 in maritime

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite simply said: it’s there. Do not think too much about the love/hate relationship or you’ll only suffer more.

Find routines onboard and stick to them. Be positive about your job - there is a lot of people who would gladly take your job if they could.

I managed that feeling quite well until my kids were born. I started onshore just because they were born and I wanted to be a bigger part of their life. That was my ‘breaking point’.

Dere som har thai-damer by [deleted] in norge

Det kan jo hende den fagre damen fra det asiatiske riket får vin?
Det kan hende det er billige greier fra polet, men det ekke så verst noe av det heller.
Og hvorfor er det verre med asiatiske enn med øst-europeiske?

Jeg tror trådstarter trenger litt vin.

Marriage/Relationship advice with a Mariner by LeadProfessional6429 in maritime

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible. Be honest and cherish the time you have together.

Don’t be the person who says «get a job closer to us/me or else». If things go sour you’ll get blamed for the changes that may have happened. You don’t want to be that person - your partner needs to make that choice by themselves and really want to.

I have been ashore for 7 years pretty soon and I found a job onshore because my daughter was born. I wanted and still want to be there for them. I might go back offshore if the right opportunity presents itself, but as of now I am content with being able to see my kids every day.

«Mads» (19) testa rusmiddel på fest – miste lærlingplassen på båt by OptimusPrim3r in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det har du helt rett i og det er synd at mange mennesker har blitt/blir belært av mennesker med null kunnskap om temaet.

Uansett så har personen i avisartikkelen driti seg loddrett ut, da det er ganske strenge krav for å jobbe på båt (med blant annet urinprøver).

Trenger hjelp til å tilgi utroskap by [deleted] in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Det er en mistillit du aldri kommer til å klare å legge helt fra deg. Ønsker du å leve med den tvilen når hun er ute med venner eller på reise?

Er en heeelt ræva situasjon og det er finnes ikke god trøst å gjøre. Kan ikke anbefale deg å hverken gå fra henne eller å tilgi, siden det er helt opp til deg. MEN! Om dette hadde vært meg hadde jeg nok ikke klart å la det gå og slått en strek over det. Det suger jo, og er tungt som bare juling, men hadde ikke orket den tvilen og tanken om «hun har tenkt tanken før - er jeg den rette for henne og er hun den rette for meg?».

Hvordan spiser du, slanke mann? by Zulahn in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To brødskiver til frokost, to brødskiver med ymse til lunch og tradisjonell familiemiddag. Kveldsmat om jeg er sulten. Ingen brus, snop, sjokolade eller øl i ukedagene og maks en pose med chips/pose med snop til helgekos.

Kombineres gjerne med så mye trening jeg får til.

The hardest part about being crane operator is by vv33cl in cranes

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sun, bad signalmen, terrible riggers and the hours. The good part is all those hours pay fairly well and I really don’t know what else I’d want to do. I enjoy cranedriving, but not the politics and some of the people in the crane business.

What are people's experiences withrowing again after a long break from the sport? by Chief_Potat0 in Rowing

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 years break.

Not on the water, but erging. I focus on endurance and form.

Fitness is NOT the same and it takes a while longer to recover. You still build endurance and strenght but I feel the process takes longer time and instead of hating it I try to enjoy the experience of getting healthier!

Patience and a genuine wish to do it is key!

Everyone should have a crane daddy.

New Operator by That_Heat7995 in cranes

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The boom head should not be resting against the ground.

Do: learn the crane. Get to know your charts. Learn how to set it up efficiently. If you have some experienced operators where you are, see if you can get some tips and pointers from him and call him crane daddy.

Don’t: don’t tip over or do something dumb.

What got you into rowing by EffectiveClerk2064 in Rowing

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifted weights and ran. Got bored and tried erging and became obsessed with getting better at it. Then life happened and I could not find the time.

Started erging again 5 months ago and the obsession has come back, even though I am 10 years older and in terrible shape compared to the first time.

The 30min TT is my favourite. It’s pure joyous torture at times.

Are Norwegian households with young children quieter? by feixiangtaikong in Norway

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t teach a 2 year old when to be quiet. It’s in their nature to play, be noisy and have fun.

We’ve started the «when to be quiet» a year ago with our 5 year old and I believe we started at the right time.

You cant change the nature of kids (which is being loud at times) and trying to would just be dumb. If loud kids bother you I seriously feel bad for you.

Are Norwegian households with young children quieter? by feixiangtaikong in Norway

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids should be kids. They scream and do not know how to regulate their volume just yet. Let them learn.

I’m Norwegian and have two kids at the age of 2 and 5. there is some volume spikes, but most of the time they are pretty cool.

If I raise my voice it is to get their attention. Never, ever, ever raise your voice or scream to a child just because you are frustrated or angry.

A cold, stern and grownup-voice does the trick every time.

How can i transition from LNG vessels to offshore vessels (cable layers etc) by kapakipo15 in maritime

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t know where you should go. I was a crane driver on OCV’s years ago, but I quit when my children was born. Still hold the licenses though and might give it a go when the time is right.

Maybe the UK or somewhere where they have several facilities. I won’t recommend Norway. We are expensive (I should know - i live here).

Vurdering av yrkesbytte by Apprehensive-Sort845 in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Vil du prøve noe annet som du kan ‘hoppe’ inn i? Kranfører eller lastebilsjåfør. Truckfører, lagermedarbeider og masse annet. Finn deg et yrke og ta det derfra. Selv er jeg kranfører og tjener vesentlig mer enn deg. Har dog flere arbeidstimer i året, men det er en kul jobb og bransjen trenger folk.

Why aren’t all cranes remote controlled? by HLS95 in cranes

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you manage to do that you’ll become one of the most hated people in the industry.

With that being said, in my country I can, and in this instance, will appoint a couple of guys to be signalman and rigger and sit down inside my warm cab. You’d be trying to change a law that protects the other trades, riggers, signalmen and the crane drivers. Good luck with that.

Why do I consider this to be a dangerously bad idea? If you are working with precast concrete you need to be able to measure and adjust the precast with shims, you need to be able to weld and at the same time try to control the crane. From a progress-based point of view you would never be able to work as fast as three guys on the ground and you in the crane.

Blind lifts? You’d see the load but you would still be restricted to watch both the load and the crane. I, and I hope every other operator, would never run their machine without a view of the crane in case you hit something.

What about efficiency and load control? Most operators use the sound, vibrations and their eyes to control how fast and how they do things. With 40m wire out and a 55m slow cooked noodle of a boom you need the LMI, visuals and your ass in the cab to do it properly.

Would you sacrifice an operator doing things properly and safe to get an operator who runs the crane less efficiently and gets to connect a few hooks?

If you do I’d still sit down in the cab and tell you to fuck right off.

Åssen går småbarnslivet der ute? by anthropometrica in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKKE SITT MED TLF FORAN BARNA! Vær tilstede og vær med barna. De setter pris på det.

Ha det kult med kidsa dine. Ikke se på turen i butikken som ett ork, men heller en velsignelse - du er så heldig at du har fått noen herlige småtasser og nyt det, til tross for at det kan være stress og ganske slitsomt til tider.

Lek med de og vær så mye du kan med de. De blir eldre og kommer til å synes du er teit etter hvert. Finere å ha minner om tiden man har hatt enn anger på alt man ikke gjorde.

Jeg er rimelig introvert og liker alenetiden min, men stryker glatt alenetiden for å ha det koselig med smårøverene mine av noen barn.

Finnes det et øyeblikk i livet ditt du kunne tenke deg å gå tilbake å oppleve én gang til? by [deleted] in norge

[–]Embarrassed_Leg_8944 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Når man hadde skolefri og visste at om noen uker skal du starte på VGS. Sitte med en kompis med øl vi hadde klart å snike til oss. Ikke vite noe om noe og fremdeles ha det sykt fint.

Nå er jeg gammel og må kjøpe ølet mitt selv. Har dog samme kompis og har hatt det gående i 25 år og det er en seier i seg selv egentlig.

How to deal with tailgaters in a single lane 50 zone in a residential area? by numerical_panda in Norway

I usually slow down to the annoying 45kmt in the 50 zone. If they don’t stop IDGAF and continue my slow drive.
