I got a job!

Recommended Posts

Start next week, with a decent raise at heavy highway scale.

Sadly it's at the nuke plant doing concrete etc. (procedure pace is 1000% slower than production pace and can make for long days), but it'll last a month and give the weather time to break for all the other jobs coming this year.

It's going to be a busy year here in the Quad City area and I have two standing offers for good superintendent jobs ''as soon as the weather breaks'' with more probably coming. That spells competition.

Looking forward to the next month.

Congrats on the job -- it's always good during the off season. And you know what's on the line, and why it matters...

You realize that, after how this winter has been, most of us around here aren't expecting the "weather to break" until...

July.

If we're lucky.

:P

Congrats on the job. Sounds like it will be interesting.

Congrats. Please don't push the wrong button.



I've been there before and heard a great story about a job briefing that kind of went like; ''...and whatever you do don't go near that switch, control, whatever...'' and as the boss pointed to it the reactor shut down... , they all got several hours of overtime trying to explain that they didn't do anything.

Weird shit happens there.
