Was following the Google photo car this morning, gave them a wave Smile

Will be interesting to see how long it takes to get up to the site. He was definitely taking pictures as he was fiddling on the laptop while driving. Not sure that's really in the interest of safety quite frankly!

Speaking of cool jobs like that a mate of mine about 3 decades ago, pre computers and stuff nabbed a contract with the Electricity distribution board to drive down every road in Queensland and record all their equipment, transformers switching gear etc, basically do a stocktake.

They paid his accommodation everywhere, and it was open ended ie they weren't sure how long he would take. He was single at the time and had a ball. Pretty much stayed drunk for 2 years at the governments expense Smile

How cool would that be Smile

To give you an idea of the area he had to cover QLD is a bit more than twice the size of Texas.
