I see him every day, but not you.As far as time being tight, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, 95% of the work is done by 5% of the people. We could loose 50% of the RP's on site now and never miss them.Thats the real truth,Ask (No names)

To begin with please note there is not an "r" in my name... as far as not having a clue I have plenty believe me. No I have never had the pleasure of working at a Duke plant, but several friends and 3 generations of my family have. Many of these workers choose to return despite the lower pay because they can work all 3 plants, its close to home and the weather is much better in the South during the winter.
As far as seeing Henry everyday and not me, have you never heard the saying..."behind every good man is an even better woman"? ;) Believe me after 29 years of being married and his working the biz for 27 of those, I'm pretty sure I've heard first hand most of what goes on at work. :)

I hear you Camella. I can't believe people are so judgemental and truth be know there are ghost in their closets
Smart People:
I've worked about four outages total at Oconee. I worked there because i liked the plant, the people and the work. Don't let the fact that some people are "calorie challenged" be the only judge of the work they do. i have friends i've known for decades who were top notch techs. Maybe now their backs don't work so well, or their knees ache all the time. you may be a young buck but don't discount the value of your fellow workers and their experience.
As far as "calorie challenged" techs, I'm one of them. and for all of my outages at Oconee, when it was time to work I got off of my lazy butt, squeezed into a set of 5X OREX, taped myself up, grabbed my meter and did my 3-5 hour roving jump in the BRT.
(No names) might remember me from the waste sort facility at SRS. I have never let my weight stop me from doing my work, getting jobs, being promoted, and being asked to return several times.
Smart People:
then the snide question comes to mind: if all the good techs are working elsewhere, why are you at Oconee?
nuke_girl:
First of all..that was a very uncool post.. very insulting to the people that came there to support YOUR outage. In fact..i have friends there currently and i feel bad they have to be subjected to YOUR attitude in the workplace.
also.. how often do road techs arrive at a plant to be told ...youre not a real tech..get me a house tech..OR.perhaps a better question should be ..what exactly does outage support mean to YOU as a house tech..does it mean teamwork?? i think not..apparantly you are on the "I" team and not the "WE" team..i mean scince your work standard and ethics are much higher than the "losers" you are forced to endure
you know usually when i am convinced everyone around me is a complete *ss...is about the time i realize ..ITS ME... LOL
Life is a lesson ..learn it
