Strange things I see

I work in some bad areas. This on is so bad they have night time security 24 hours. 

I thought you lived in Florida?  i.e. too close to the equator to have "24 hours of night time" ?

Unless you're depressed. Then it IS 24 hours of night.

I got a laugh out of this a few weeks ago.

This was quite a while ago, but still great:

That looks like a perfect nap at work room.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

Looks like an NDI room.

That is indeed what it is!

My uncle used to work as armed night security on the south side of Macon. At a grocery store.

My now ex worked at an AMXS unit on the base where we were stationed. One day I got off of work early and decided to hang out with her. She showed me around her squadron and took me through the jet and sheet metal shop. I got to go in one of the NDI rooms and her and her work buddies thought it would be funny to shut the door while I was in there. I didn't think it was nearly as funny as they did.

Shot in my home town. There were more flags on the front.

Yeah, I'd be a little irritated as well.  This particular room is (as far as I know) decommissioned.  Most of this area was.

I was always jealous of the folks that worked in the fab shops on base.  So many fun toys to play with.

It might have been built in Pennsylvania.  So, ok.

What's an NDI room, and why am I vaguely hesitant to ask?

Non-Destructive Inspection.  X-ray, sonic testing, magnaflux, etc etc.

Common with a large number of, I guess you could say, high performance high dollar parts.  This particular one is at an ammunition plant somewhere west of the Mississippi.

In reply to Mr_Asa :

Yeah, I was always amazed at the tooling they had. Of course, when you are repairing 50 year old aircraft (RJ-135), nothing is off the shelf. Her aircraft was a 1964 model.

There is a large ammo manufacturing facility in my hometown. It's west of the Mississippi

My former workplace has probably done business with them.  

Reminds me of a hotel I stayed in when I was young and dumb.  I should have known to just leave when the front desk had bullet proof glass that was fit for a bunker.  If that wasn't enough, the security guard behind the desk with the knife cut scar from one ear to the other should have been a hint.  And then there was the apparent crappy repair indicating the door to the individual room had been kicked in several times.  Despite all these things, I still paid my money and tried to stay, after all, I had a reservation (and, surprisingly, none of the above was in the brochure).  About 3 a.m., when there weren't breaks in the police sirens outside long enough to get to sleep, I got up, checked out, grabbed a monster-sized coffee and drove the rest of the way home.  Good times.

Now, older and wiser, I never would have made it past the bullet-proof glass. 

Found this one at a place that sold used tires.  I think English was their third or fourth language
