So we did our first of four shutdowns at the plant we are working at last week. All went well up until the very end. We were running the SCADA system and the iron workers temp panel off our generator while we had the power off to the plant. We finished our shutdown and let the UPS system run SCADA while we hooked it back up to permanent power which took all of three minutes. We killed the generator and started wiring the Iron workers power back up. Over a five minute period I had four knuckle draggers ask when they would have power back on. I told them it would be around ten minutes, and to sniff off until I was done. Well they got me in a mood by pestering me. I was about to land the last wire when someone came in and asked again. I told him,"it depends how many more times I get asked.". Well apparently it was the GC on our job. Who BTW is also the head knuckle dragger out there. He was none to happy and started popping off at the mouth. My foreman laid into him and when he went to respond I called him a rat for hiring foreign workers as opposed to union. The man exploded over this. He informed me there was no union on this job and asked to see my card since I was claiming he should be hiring them. My foreman threw him out of the electrical room before I could drop my pants to show him my "card". We had a laugh over that for a good ten minutes. My foreman called our boss to tell him what was going on and he laughed his butt off about it. Said to keep on keeping on and pay the GC no attention because we are not working under them. We were hired on by the city not the GC. Its times like these that I love my job more than anything else.

It's REALLY fun to have some jerk by the short hairs when he has no recourse what-so-ever!

 

 

 

Yeah it is. Strangely enough he has avoided me like I have the plague, all week this week.

ROFLMFAO! That about sums it up.

I Like the title above my avatar to. I decided I would adopt it as my own, after some old timer dubbed me as that. I think it is fitting.
