I can't believe that the RP Supervision could possibly believe that treating people like second class citizens will aid them in having a successful outage. I have not seen one RP Tech....House or Contractor that is happy to be here. I hope they all leave...no one deserves to be treated with such disrespect. If they think RP Techs are so worthless.......watch the Outage come to a GRINDING HALT when there is NO RP COVERAGE FOR CRITICAL PATH JOBS. $$$$$$$$$$$$. Then they will become PRICELESS, but oh sooo toooo late for Prairie Island. By not making the RP Techs feel welcomed and respected the only thing that has been accomplished is people not giving a crap. A HUGE DAGGER has been jabbed in the sides of this upcoming Outage. I hope no one gets seriously injuried due to this lack of respect and concern.

That Black Ball list is a thing of the past! You can't Black Ball your Bread and Butter! They can't even fully staff the outages this season, not to mention the growing manpower needs in the DOE world! Today, four postings alone for DOE sites, probably twenty openings! This past week about seventy openings! If you left the plant this morning, you would have a job before you got to your car! If things are this bad, before opening day, what's it going to be like when they drop the rods?

If recuiters are calling 'scabs' just in case it's not because there's going to be a strike, it's because there's a lot of work out there and most of the current HP population is going to bail. For anyone that gets a call, keep this in mind. PI is no longer the country club of the midwest. If you come here you'd better be prepared to mill about smartly and learn the parade rest stance. This new sherrif has a lot to learn and he could start with a course in "how to play well with others". This never would have happened with the last RPM. I hear DC Cook is paying a 5k bonus just to show up. HMMMMM.

This is about my seventh time coming here to PI and after the next generator replacement it will be my last unless Andy and Barney are gone. Ive enjoyed coming here, but with the new sheriff and his little deputy it will be my last. He dosent even want to dip into the Rp budget to get the contract hps their own fridge. We use to get paid 12 for 12 here but that no longer exists and now we have to be dressed out and in the can at our start time. Our site cordinator who stated that we can leave now and look for other jobs and bartlett wont hold it against us has now denied that statement. But other than that it aint so bad here. The weather is nice and so far the crafts have been nice to us. By the way outside HP's is there any heat there at the equipment hatch it gets kinda cold here in December. The fun really begins tonight.

Welcome to the Beevis and Butthead show! Just when you didn't think things could get worse, it did...the outage started. There is NO control around here. They've got one house person assigned to containment, one house person assigned to the CAF (where everyone is supposed to go in this time) and that's about it. There's a sign on the desk at the Aux access point that pretty much implies that we're all out to lunch, when in reality there are only two that are out to lunch and those are the boys upstairs. As my Uncle Crisler would have said "I've been to lots of rodeos and any number of goat ropin's but I ain't NEVER seen anything like this." You've got people wandering around in the yard with their containment shorts on cause they're changing in and out in their own trailers and if you need to go poopie at night you get to go in the pitch black porta potties with the spiders and snakes, stand in puddles of urine and try to do your business. And get this...Beevis just found out yesterday that this nasty business is going to happen again in the spring! Nahhhh. We'll still be doing this one!
