Find a plumber's Blog (or LiveJournal, or whatever-- provided that
it's an online journal). It must be the Blog of a professional
plumber, and this individual must devote a decent portion of his/her
journal to discussing his job-- and it must be current, and it must be
updated fairly often.

This should be a fairly simple task. Find it-- and then tell me how you found it...

Thank you for posting this Blog.

The problem with it is that this guy spends very little time
discussing his job. He has just a tiny little bit about plumbing, and
an enormous amount about his political views.

Can you find another one in which the plumber focuses on his job? (And
preferably one that's updated more frequently...)

Hello again griffith933-ga,
 
Here's one. Probably more detail than you wanted.

Is this in the ballpark?

Wow! That's certainly some site you dug up there. Although technically
it's not a diary, I can't in good conscience refuse to pay you. Good
enough! (Although I might post this question again at some point in
the future.)

Besides that, it looks like there's quite a bit of-- well, let's say
interesting information there...

Hello griffith933-ga,

I?m glad you thought the site I found was interesting. Thank you for
accepting it as the answer.

I did some more searching and came up with a couple of other blogs
that might add to your quest for real life plumber stories.

Anyway, I am a plumber, if you haven't already guessed.

"Day in the Work Life": Plumber

Listen to this story
Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894, celebrating the working
class. In that spirit, on today's 'Day In the Work Life' -- our weekly
look at how folks trade their time for money -- we put on our hard
hats and solder some pipes alongside an apprentice plumber.



One of the problems in trying to get information about a plumber?s
life from blogs is that plumbers are not very likely to be expressing
themselves this way. You?ll have much better luck looking for blogs
from people in more verbal professions.

Another problem of looking for a ?typical? plumber is that they can
work in greatly varied situations and the type of person attracted to
one will probably not be attracted to another. The life of a plumber
in business for himself (and it?s still mostly men) doing residential
repairs is likely to be very different from a plumber working for a
contractor doing new construction or a plumber working for a city high
rise or a plumber in an industrial plant. The challenges faced by each
would be different so the setting really matters for understanding
what a plumber?s life is about.

I hope these links helped. I look forward to your future questions.
