You didn't push it back to cover new years?
No. Someone with more seniority took new years. I’ll be working ot to cover their leave.

It’s one thing that sucks about being 10-15yrs younger than the next youngest supervisor, everyone has more seniority for vacation scheduling.

I was supposed to be off from Thursday of last week until the day after New Years, but I worked a few hours yesterday afternoon and will be logging in to work more today, Thursday, and then again on the 31st, because no one covers for me while I'm out and my job is sort of business-critical. We've tried having other people cover while I was out, but they just fuck up shit I have to fix when I get back, so it creates more work. Nothing I do is hard, but there are a shit-ton of caveats.

Jesus, how many sparkies and operators do we have here, I think I'm in the wrong business. rmenergy @rmenergy any jobs coming up?
Yessir. First will be a senior dispatcher/shift supervisor (same as me), then probably 2-4 water & power dispatchers, not sure about journey level plant operators, mechanics or techs. Apprenticeships should open around April for operations, mechanics, electricians & utility craft workers.

That’s just with my entity. When I get back in to work I can use the search engine to look for positions across the nation

Nice. I started out in an old steamer. 4 units, all ng fired(formerly dual fuel with fuel oil). 2x155mw GE units 1800psi fd/id b&w boilers. 2x360mw Westinghouse 2400psi fd b&w boilers.

Never did get the opportunity to operate the supercritical units at our sister station. They’re all decommissioned now though.

Have a good hitch. If you’re finishing Thursday evening you’re probably starting long change. Have some good days off as well.
