And you don't work too many hours lol?

I work 4-12:30 5 nights a week. We get the 2.5 hours of OT built into every pay period and typically run over on Mondays and Fridays because the plant is down and we can do PM work.

Yeah, but it's 1st shift and I do my extra time EARLY in the morning so it's not a big deal. I hate that everything closes 30 minutes after I get off work and don't have time to run errands.

I'm going to start going to Ace for more hardware, they've got it all.

I go to Fastenal because they literally have it all or can get it all within 1 day.

Also, Eaton employees get ~80-90% discount on everything.

Hell, half the time I walk in there for 1 or 2 bolts he just gives them to me.

My god damn post didn't go through.

I'm almost done with getting the Jeep running. Should be pretty damn close tomorrow.

Because it frees up power... and temps never changed... and i already had one... and still have another one for a spare lol...

Im just a apprentice... yearly bump has me at like $17.75... which sucks for me... compared to what im used to... however make lineman in 4 years and that starts at $32 not to mention the cost of living raises... thats just right now... plus the unions about to negotiate again next year for 2016...

Thats GA power though... contractors and local power companies make much less... they just dont have to worry about OSHA and all that mess...

must be nice... fastenals around me only sell in bulk now... gotta buy the whole box... which makes them worthless...

Ace is the place, I put in 4/10's & they are starting OT back up again. I was working 60 hours a week.
My red Jeep will be 2wd for a while. Front axle is toast. Sucks being broken & broke.

October 10-12th.



And my last job wondered why I left working there for $13 an hour being full time. Like da fuq? Are you seriously unable to understand that that is not enough to keep someone around when there are thousands upon thousands of jobs open in my field? They started me at $10 an hour being part time and I got little raises over the course of the year to get me to $13 and the boss loved the work I did for him, but wouldn't even counter offer me a number to get me to stay when I told him what Flowers offered me. I got a nice pay raise

I'd still like to get on with Ga power in their I&C department at some various plant under southern company. As long as it is close to an offroad park or the beach, but that is opposite of wheeling rocks. Lol.


60 hour weeks and you're broke? Lol

Whole thing is toast? What'd else did the locker take out?

Lowrange2

I worked 66 hours last week and I'm broke.

Sounds like we're in the same boat ! I worked 68 hrs and my whole check went to mortgage and our stupid ****ing babysitter decided to cash 3 checks at once cause she is too god damn lazy to goto the bank once a week

NGAXJING

It is not the babysitters fault for you not keeping a log of the checks you wrote. If you wrote checks then that money is accounted for. So you can't spend it. Duh.

We need to ride some FS roads this fall. I live so far away I haven't ever had the ability to go, but I'd like to see the nice places of north Ga.

Xj88

Cheap and preferrably very close to chattanooga...

If anyone knows of one let me know.
