I like my job because you wake up not knowing what you’re going to do. You could be going to a fire, investigating fraud, taking a statement or learning something new. Where I work changes too. I have an office, but typically work from home. I usually just wear a hoodie/tee/jeans to work/at home but a dress-shirt (typically) when working.

Past claims have been large chemical fires, supervising unloading of a rolled over truck, acting as interim security or even doing light surveillance/recon work. I work closely with private security, police, fire and many types of forensic investigators.

Today took me to a large international convenience store chain’s regional office. First off...they have ICE CREAM in their lobby. I love shit like that.

My investigation kinda changed gear a few times and I found myself on the roof of the skyscraper, 27 stories up on a wet windy day.

The building is in the heart of Surrey, BC’s transformation and is very pretty. I thought I’d share some photos of the building and some of the MASSIVE condensers. The building is a mall, brewery, university campus and office building.

I don’t like heights, so needless to say climbing an additional 15 feet on a steel ladder in the rain wind while being able to see all the way down wasn’t fun. The ladder was just from one section of the roof to another and I wasn’t in any danger.

(exterior photos not mine).

disclaimer: Nothing pictured is material to the claim nor is the building my insured.

Cool building, though I hate that it’s encased in parking lots instead being tightly integrated into a walkable city. I guess it’s close to transit at least.

Did they also have hot dogs on rollers?

The lowrise section of the building is a mall, which explains a lot of the spaces, and it abuts to a commuter parking lot next to the skytrain and bus loop which accounts for many of the rest.

Surrey is not a walkable city though, all in. It’s nearly 350 square KM with what amounts to 6 or 7 different cities in one. DIY dental work is less painful than daily bus travel. Halfway decent bike infrastructure though, but again, 350km2... and it’s not exactly flat.

Did you shout, I'm the king of the world!" when you were on the top of the skyscraper?

You joke, but their lunchroom was more of a private gas station.  No rollers that I saw though

Ha, no, not with the people I was with, but I did get a sneaky photo (above)
