Today in our first day of training we were welcomed by
 C.T THOMAS. When he set the tone of the outage he laid the smackdown on us.After most statements C.T. was quoted as saying Can you deal with that??
Letting us knukledraggers know we wern't needed.We were put into our subserviant places.As the spineless,
jelly fishes that we are nobody said a word and we knew he was the pimp and we were his bitches.

i have always believed in picking my battles so listening to someone toot thier own horn is not a battle i choose to fight.

So far it dosent sound good.  The only changes heard arent beneficial to the techs.  We will be punching time clocks (although they are only use for accountability), less techs, different lead techs, no break room that I have heard of, we get paid a day later and a maintenace cordinator the we have to "live with" who is already on most techs and deconners crap list.   The only good thing (if you want the hours) is that we should be on 72's for a while and if you like snow skiing it has just snowed.  Im sure things cant be as bad as they seem.   Last generator wasnt bad at all, but we will see how this goes.

So what are you waiting for techs? Come up to Canada. If not this spring, then this August. Pickering has a 3-4 month outage coming up. You'll be treated well and you will work directly for the utility i.e. Diablo Canyon type set up.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Check out the Canadian HP job site postings for more info.

oooo... looks like recruiting has taken a turn here....

[HouseSnake]

So, it is 2/14, has the SGRP started ? How are things going....Radbastard - you there ? How is SGT to work with ? I never worked Calvert, but I've heard good things in the past.
I worked with SGT at St Lucie, and I don't think I wanna do that again.....

I wish I was there. I generally eat 2 of those boastful types before lunch.

[starving_dog]

Sorry to complain, but aren't we supposed to be talking about Calvert Cliffs?  SGRO started on schedule last night.

[HousePuke]

If anyone is looking for the posts regarding the Canadian and American military, I removed them.  While I regret the incident that was being discussed, it was completely off topic and certainly not one for this thread.

[biloxi_blues]

Initials are done we had to sacrifice one tech due to heat exhaustion, but CT would be proud we got the job done.  Was that house tech supervisors carrying meters and doing surveys?  Maybe Ive been in heat too long, oh that is, in the heat too long.  Snowing today.  By the way the over /under is 110 days.  At least shutdown was on schedule barely.

[RADBASTARD]

CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT?

That is our outage slogan as per our maintance supv over the hp's.
 Well you thought the last outage was fucked up well this one the way it went last night this should be a even worse.
Less techs,Less deconners,house techs and supv.swinging meters and doing survey's to help out the contractors. When I saw that I thought the bengals were going to win the superbowl or the contract companies were gonna bring back rental cars.I thought I was dreaming.We lost one tech to heat on his first night and one called out sick on the first night.

CT THOMAS WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD OF US BECAUSE
 WE LIVED WITH THAT AND STILL GOT THE JOB DONE.

Hey Radbastard,

  So you went back for another round of
punishment at Calvert?  Sounds like it's
already shaping up to be another cluster
like last Spring.  And here I am Fermi
being treated like a house tech with
"King of the Road" Gerry Thompson.
Calvert would have been more $$$s but
you can have it.  Keep giving us the
play by play and bloopers.  I'm really
looking forward to it.

[RADBASTARD]

Well in the can we had 3 Hp's for 300 workers= ca ching$$$$
I am not making this up either they were crying for hp's. Everybody came out gassed up because the purge wasn't on. 300 to the old body counter + 3 hp's.
I THOUGHT WE WERE AT MILLSTONE LAST NIGHT.
HOUSESNAKE, I thought we were gonna have to take a half a coke bottle, and a glove liner to make a filter paper and a air sample head out of them like on survivor again with no supplies.We need maybe 20 more techs and about 10 jr's for this outage to run smooth.God help us if people drag up.We are really strapped here because this company is so damn cheap.This might be longer than the last one.

CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT ?

Haven't done the replacements at Calvert, but when I worked there for regular outages the housetechs ALWAYS pulled their weight,and supervisors were there to fix problems.

Of course now the outage is being run by SGT and a new company at the helm to boot. Glad that I'm not there!

[TamiTrueheart]

I like Calvert. Always reinventing the wheel. The housing is cheaper across the bridge.

[biloxi_blues]

I usually dont do this, but Im going to use a radbastard tactic (sucking up to the house).  I have always enjoyed working with and working for the house techs and supervision.  They have always treated me fairly.  It is sad that the Bartlett supervision is the one that gives me and  a lot of others the grief.  I think a lot of the bartlett long term superv. people need to get out and really start finding out what the road is really like again.  I think this would be a great place to work if we could get rid of the long term (bartlett) people.  You would think they would be the ones that would help us out instead of here it is "live with it" attitude.  ONe more thing if you ever try to send me out in that record setting blizzard in my scrubs there are going to be some sore ankles around here.  You know who you are.

[HousePuke]

Oh allright, next time wear double scrubs!

Radbastard

[Walt Harris]

Thanks guys and gals.....just about the time I think I miss the road...you remind me how "not-so-bad" house-pukin' is!! Calvert was never on my top ten list... sounds like it has sunk to even lower lows....

[RADBASTARD]

Biloxi nice suck up.Hey you missed a spot wipe your mouth.I will agree the I like the people here also {slurp}

Bone love ya ,hate ya, love to hate ya.Good luck!

Calvert had a good night last night maybe cause Biloxi was off?

I wish jjordan was here we need some ice cream.

[biloxi_blues]

Or maybe you only did one jump like you did tonight.  No wonder there are 100 workers per tech in the can.  Quit your snibbling parachute.
