    Yeah but if he's using cards then it's digital radiography, I do a lot of work with that kind of shit too. The 20k machine your talking about is the regular type of X-ray machine.

    Moonchild, what kind of stuff do you do radiography with? NDT?


    Both of these make me excessively Jelly.


    Sadly not, just thoroughly middle class. For ages though, I used to be ashamed of not being poor (a lot of people I knew were), but then it occurred to me that having parents who worked hard is nothing to be ashamed of, and that I should embrace not having monetary issues. I mean we never had expensive cars or a particularly big house (and 6 of us lived there because my Grandparents did too), but whilst it has come close to the wire a few times, we've never got into major issues, so I've never been in a position where if I genuinely need something, I can't have it.

    But then I take it a step further by being an asshole and mocking poor people. But that's because I'm a dick.

    Shit Trickster, we're in the same boat. Throughout all of high school it made me a bit depressed that if I wanted to talk about something interesting with my friends that cost money, I was essentially bragging and taunting them because they couldn't afford it and I could, and I was lucky for having hard working parents that would always get me what I needed and would do anything to help make me a better person.

    Eventually I realized that I shouldn't feel so bad, in fact I should be using what I have to make others better if I'm better off than them, and I suppose that's where our boats diverge.

    Well, my secondary school had a LOT of richfags in, given it was selective, rather than open to anyone. It didn't cost per year but you had to pass some tests to get in. It was an eye opener really. You still had poorer guys there, but there was this one guy who I just remember dealing with it perfectly (both his parents were doctors), and just pointing out that, given both his parents were doctors, they worked for that money, and that's how it is.

    Unrelated, but I spent like 30 minutes at work trying to crop a picture of the Asian pointy hat onto the picture of Candles today, but gave up in the end.

    Yeah some maintenance NDT stuff (nothing really intersting, just diagnostics for radiation levels and picture quality), but mostly I do software maintenance for DR. My company sells DR components and complete systems to hospitals and surgeries. So I am the guy to bring those machines into the local networks and setting up the software and when everything goes to hell I am the guy who has to get up late at night and fix stuff...

    That leads me to another interesting fact: I'm half assorted Scandinavian, most of which is Norwegian, a quarter combined Mexican/Indian/Spanish, and a quarter French-Canadian/Canadian-Indian. I've had MANY people think that I'm Asian.
