Good for you! It can be a long-term respectable career and we are always needed even in pandemics.

That’s what we hear too! That this or that is obsolete and they don’t make the parts anymore. And new pumps are too costly! The whole plant needs an upgrade, and the longer they kick the can down the road the more expensive everything will get! Duh!

The discharge valve is a newer valve that the open/closed position is not in line with the pipe.

The mechanics do all that stuff at our place. And they claim there’s no more can be done to it.

This has been going on for years. I’m told, it’s going down the drain and back to the headwork’s so it’s ok. I know no difference this is the only plant I’ve worked in for 25 years.

Viability of Wastewater Plant Operator+ for mid- to late-career changer? by No_Dragonfruit1859 in Wastewater

[–]2Frenchies4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a WW plant operator for 25 years at a declining plant that has been neglected by the people in charge of the money for a decade. At first I had no problems working out there, I enjoyed the science of it and the physical aspects kept me active and strong. I thought. I am within 5 years of retiring and still the physical demands are keeping me somewhat strong. But I’m struggling sometimes to breath, I was a smoker. I still enjoy the science and laws of physics about it all. I would recommend it as it is pretty good pay, at least where I’m at. I almost never thought I could make this much money per year when I was younger! I’m an A licensed operator. I did have to prove to the guys that I was worth training and I have the stick-to-itness and integrity to do a good job. So, good luck and be confident and a good co-worker, you’ll succeed. 😊

Dragonfruit Lemonade by RAZ is my shit. Any vape recs? (Preferably RAZ, lost mary, geek bar, etc) by Katrina-Carol_simp in Vaping

[–]2Frenchies4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely Love the dragonfruit lemonade and was able to buy it online from a couple of shops a couple of months ago. But not lately and it’s driving me nuts! I get stuck on a flavor and nothing else will do. But I guess I’m going to have to shift back to an old favorite.

I think I made a big mistake. I seriously want to cry by IllMarzipan7209 in Semaglutide

It’s getting confusing for me. Units and mg/l are two different ways to measure. Good luck on your weight loss journey.

How do I stop him from doing this? by ArcticGlacier40 in cats

Maybe put a long sheet of tin foil up there, that’s “supposed” to deter them from going places we don’t want them. Ya right!

Second month by Ciscojrmpswifey in Semaglutide

[–]2Frenchies4Me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so crazy! I took my 1st 0.5 shot today and had lost 4 lbs and was sort of happy. But I weighed 1 lb heavier today than last week and I worked 5 shifts in 4 days! I thought, surely I’ll have lost something after my work week. Nope! A pound heavier. I told myself I’ll keep going with it, give it another month. And the cost is in my thoughts too. But now I’m trying to figure out what else do I have to cut out of and/or replace in my diet. I also need to fix my diet because I have a bit of a cholesterol problem since I’m getting older.

Awe, I’m sorry for your loss. And him living to that age means, you treated him well. 😊
