I'm on my last week of training for my new job, 2.5 months of training. It as at least a half a month longer than it could ever possibly need to be. I'm am tired of listening attentivly.
I get $2.50 raise at the start of next week and then a $5 raise in four months. It super strange to have things like that plotted out in front of me. Union certainty is swell.
I just have to make it seven months to get off probation and I'm virtually unfireable if do the bare minimum for the rest of my career.
I probably have about 3-5 years of night shifts ahead of me, which I'm ok with.
Full on nights? How are you handling that? I worked nights/swing for 9 months a few years back and it was a hard as hell adjustment.
Congrats on where you’re at. It’s been something that’s been nice to keep up on as you’ve shared.
You operate a dredge for local government, don't you? Does that entail excavating waterways, or something else?
I work at a wastewater treatment plant.
The dredge is a small part of the plant that I'm probably not going to operate very often for a few years.
Regionally it's a pretty big plant at 45 million gallons a day average but maxing at 450 MGD. Nationally it's maybe a biggish medium sized plant.
