Picture/Secret Message thread
I haven't participated in pic threads in too long, and besides, we just got our haircuts.

Here's me practicing hand signals I use for my job.












If you can read that, we're either in the same field, or a similar one that uses them. If you can read that, and it means something to you, you're also a Misfits fan. Small world. :hi:

Post your own, whether making hand signals or not. :bounce:

3. I'll gladly say it
but I don't want to risk killing the excitement in this thread that had dropped off the front page before you kicked it up. I'll gladly pm you if need be, but I'm sure I'll finally kick this for the very last time (this weekend?) with a translation.

The only hint I'll give now, is that every one of my signals above is one of the base-10-numbers. We use other signals that are for actions to perform, but they're moving hand & arm signals that probably can't be represented in still picture form.

PS: One of the base-10-numbers is also poorly represented in still picture format.

11. Not even close
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 09:56 PM by sniffa
Though lately I've been working around cranes.. and more recently, including tomorrow, pile drivers. They pretty much ruin our job, or if we're lucky, turns a 6-8 hour job into a 10-12 hour job. x(

ps: tomorrow's gonna suck ass.

15. Field surveyor?
We did a bit of that when I was studying drafting in high school — went out and surveyed a local ranch. I still remember stuff like "mark" and "check" and the signals to raise or lower the target on the Philadelphia rod.

17. Ding, ding, ding
That's exactly what I do. Though we don't use the Philadelphia rod anymore. ;)

Now it's just left for my secret message to my fellow members of the Fiend Club


Yes, I have this pin on my man purse.

19. I figured by now the technology had surpassed spruce
What little I did in it was... christ, 36 years ago.

I shoulda stuck with drafting, man. Would've made an infinitely better career. And, shit, I was good at it, and I loved it. x(

20. Hang on. You grab your crotch and get paid for it?
Holy shit. Mr. Midlo is so in the wrong business. He and BoyMidlo are constantly, ahem, checking.

Still, it was fun to see. :P
