Cairo is a shithole, enjoy
Oh I'm under no illusions. I was looking into the place a few years back when I got close to working Saudi, was gonna make it my time off hub.

It's Also completely just an idea I had earlier this evening. There's not even a manager running it yet, just another engineer I know. It's not like he can make anything like that happen. But given the fact it's new I'd already say I could be the subject matter expert on it by guessing.

My idea was I learn the product here while it's new then fuck off over there for a couple Years as a consultant as they deliver the product and try to work it themselves.


I'm gonna ask the said engineer about it tomorrow, and if it doesn't sound completely wank I'll drop a comment to my boss to plant the seed

Are you claiming to be a licensed engineer? You didn’t even finish highschool bruv. That’s illegal!
Not licensed at all. My apprenticeship bwas in engineering and my previous job title was aircraft engineering technician. Current official title is test engineer.


I don't like the frugàl use of the term in the UK. I know people that remove panels that refer to themselves as engineers. I don't design or calculate anything nor do I have an engineering degree. My job is to test wether shit works, find out why it doesn't work, and upload software once I get it working. I'd call myself a technician or something personally, but I don't make up the job titles

Oh and I do have a diploma in electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic engineering.

That was a work based class tho. I diddnt go to college for it.

Egypt prohibits the sale and consumption of alcohol in public places or shops, with the exception of hotels and tourist facilities approved by the Minister of Tourism. ... The alcohol industry is monopolized by Al-Ahram Beverages, which has been in Egypt since 1897.

Then who the hell issued the diploma?!?!?
The company who made the equipment. Incorrect operation would result in bad stuff so they required all operators to pass a course. I'm trained to the level that I could sign off other trainers. Fuck me if it diddnt make my brain explode tho when I was learning it, and I already had a good knowledge of those systems by then.


I actually purchased an online electrical course lately. Not done it yet as it's boring as fuck, but just as a refresher as it won't advance me or anything.

That’s not a diploma, at best it’s a certificate!!

This sidewalk parker found a way past the blockers. The worker on the right side job is to adhere them down. He kicked the car as he walked past.

this afternoon, the black suv is still there, didnt even get towed.

the white car up the block is gone.

i was talking to another expat about this at lunch. a key issue is there are too many cars now in china, and not enough parking spaces.

then he mentioned something i never realized.

there are no parking garages here. hes been here 10 years, ive been here 15 (both in multiple cities). neither of us have ever seen an above ground parking garage.

a huge new mall gets built, maybe 2 layers of underground parking.

a huge skyscraper gets built, maybe 3 layers of underground parking.

there are no above ground, multi levels, parking garages
