From: thy Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009

Not enough money for me to have this job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do  you know who is in the top position in the World?  Wonder No  Longer....

819 Meters is 2687 feet or slightly over one half mile in the air.  ...(0.5089  miles!)

Babu  Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India is the cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.  Known  as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building, the 819-metre (about 2660 feet) Burj Dubai.  His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home.  Apparently it takes too long to come down to  the ground each day to make it worthwhile.  When the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.  Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubais workers.  Some say he has been up there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid  30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared to the average wage of 800 dirhams a month.  All agree he's worth it.
