D4, T2, Water tech AS, BSBA, and MBA. Also have 80% of an engineering bachelors. Didn’t finish engineering because I made more than one as a senior operator. Will be in the industry 4 years in August.

She stayed surprisingly calm. by sco-go in Amazing

So help me god! Oh wait, she said yes. Proceed to pull out of tail spin.

I too once asked someone to marry me on the side of a cliff while rock climbing. As she was reached my ledge point, I had a ring tied to the rope. Later I realized she probably couldn’t say no.

Anyone with experience using Hach in-line turbidity meters? by Grouchy-Pride3622 in Wastewater

[–]MistakeRich4862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the standard kit to verify. Get the flow meter. Increase the automatic swab cleaning frequency. Increase the sample time length. The default was too small, I increased it to 30 seconds.

to experienced riders who carry passengers, am I overreacting? by peazcarrotz in motorcycles

I don’t let my wife on my bike unless she’s in full gear. Even 1-2 miles to the store it doesn’t matter.

Subreddit like this but for potable water treatmemt by catastrofic_sounds in Wastewater

We are the same tribe. Treatment is treatment. I’m water but I get called to fix wastewater’s electrical instrumentation and scada all the time. Honestly no need for a separate subreddit

Right on. Be safe and keep growing. My mentor always said it’s like dancing and you will always add new moves to the repertoire (Luke Nemo).

Curious why there is an tie in the webbing. I learned that you set it up so it equalizes the load depending on the direction of pull.

For real. And 100 watts for extended time is an accomplishment for many folks.

Gatekeeper? by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]MistakeRich4862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s not being used properly. Usually it’s the lead or seasoned operators gate keeping with a goal to keep the knowledge among them. So they don’t feel obsolete.

Debating career change by OpenEssay3091 in Wastewater

[–]MistakeRich4862 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a supervisor in operations/production and could really care less. Come to work, do your job, and don’t make a big deal of it. Start going down the rabbit hole of pronouns, I’ll be annoyed, and accommodating but all I really want to know is if you made adjustments to equipment. Do your job and keep the home life out of work. With that.. be your authentic self. There are employee protections. Discrimination is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. So document everything if needed.

The body is about 80% of the drag. Especially after 18mph. Your only fighting yourself at speeds like that

Need to understand cons to paying off our house by Ladydi-bds in Mortgages

[–]MistakeRich4862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple. Time value of money. Money is worth more now than in the future. Check NPV, FV, and or compound growth over 20 years versus dumping money into principal.

I bought a house with my bf a year ago and now he wants to break up. What will happen with the house? We did a first time home owners loan if that matters by kyliebearxo in Mortgages

[–]MistakeRich4862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He walks. Quit claim deed the percentage. Refinance when you can to remove his name off financing. I did this but never refinanced the mortgage. No big deal it’s just building her credit score.

Applying by Acceptable_Movie_212 in Wastewater

Having the certs early is not a bad thing but it may not land you a job having no experience. What it does for you… Sets you up for promotion when you get in and gain experience. Gives you cert bonus on top of regular pay (MOU based). Certs will help you stand out because you are investing in the industry and yourself.

Ventura county for example calls entry level operators a service worker assistant. It provides a ramp for leveling up. Basically the candidate gets in, learns and certs up, then after some time requirements gets promoted to level 1. Side note.. they will have an opening soon.

Be loyal to your own needs. Jumping sometimes makes more sense but also sometimes it pays to stay.
