When the automatisms you acquired during your job are invading your private life.

When i was an intern in a big store, i had to fight against the reflex of storing the shelves during my own shopping sessions.

    Going out to pubs and pointing out all the missing or lacking essential safety measures.

    Going pretty much anywhere and talking about the breaches of electrical safety requirements.

    In airports and explaining all the ways they aren’t complying with safety regulations. And now that I don’t work in an airport anymore I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.

      I don’t know what to do with all that VERY specific knowledge.

      Anonymously tip it to regulating authorities?

      Or the news, to force a resolution and get some amusement?

      Maybe I’m too much of a keyboard vigilante lol…

        These aren’t unknown things. Airports are taken very seriously, and they work closely with regulators.

        But especially when you’ve worked in a high reliability airport, you can’t help when you travel to others and notice where they’re falling behind, things they haven’t done yet. Etc.

      It’s been years since I moved from the electrical field, but anytime I’m in a new building I’m still looking at the ceiling to see where and how everything is installed.
