BobLfoot Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Reading a post about Startup Alarms and a guy named "Nubs" got me thinking. How many cool and clean nicknames are there out there for people who work with PLC's. I'll start off the list and look forward to reading others. List not only the name but it's relative meaning. "Joe Relay" - The electrician who only understands relays not PLC's easily. "Thor" - That maintenance man whose tool belt contains the best collection of Hammers. "Nubs" - That poor maintenance soul who is missing an appendage or three. "Ivory Tower" - Area of the plant were maintenance thinks the engineering and management types live. Just a start I hope.

TimWilborne Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Well imagine that, everyone at work has a nickname and I can't think of a single one that is appropriate to post on this forum. Quote

TConnolly Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 Reminiscent of the Soup Nazi of Seinfeld Lore, we have the hydraulic nazi, the vacuum nazi, the chiller nazi, and the computer nazi. Quote
Buckaroo Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 How about: FLASH: The great thinker that decides to short a circuit out rather than tracing it out and deenergizing it properly. LEGEND: The person that has such a high opinion of himself/herself regarding members of the oposite gender that they are a LEGEND in their own mind. Quote
Ron_Smith Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 "Twister" -- The operator that, no matter how well the machine is running, just has to adjust something. Quote
bob1371 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 The guy I work with is called "Blister" Always shows up after the work is done. Quote

newpageboba Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 Whoopsie - Whoops I shut the plant down Rack 'em - Causes Rack faults Then there is the guy that shows up just after the problem is fixed just so he can take credit (still needs a nickname besides a**h$$$) Quote
Togadude Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 Pockets ---- The co-worker that no matter whats going on, always is standing there with his/her hands in there pockets. Quote
Smoke Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 Boom Boom --- I once worked with a sparky that found the worst place for a screwdriver and high voltage. Quote
glaverty Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 Theres a guy here I call "Side Cutter" because anytime we are moving equipment or have to rewire something he will just cut all the dang wires leaving us no idea where anything goes. Once he cut a fiber optic sensor. I said "You realize I can't splice that right" I got an "oops" in reply, wish I could have charged the $500 bucks for the new sensor to him, that would teach him real quick. Quote
ReBroker Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 "Ten Thumbs" this is the maintenance guy who will cross thread a catchup bottle at the worst possible time, also good for melting the leads on his meter and yours if you let him use it.... Quote
Clay B. Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Sleprocks: From the Flintstones, the guy that no matter what he did it went wrong. Sleprocks is what we call operators that will always find a way to break a machine. Arm chair warriors is what we call certain management presonel. Think the name explains itself. Smoke: These are tech that just vanish whenever work needs to be done. It is like that vanish is a puff of smoke. Human Wiggies: Techs that find out a circuit is still live the hard way. We have several more but those are my favorites. Quote
