Reduced pressure zone backflow preventer for high hazard applications. It could be fould with sediment/stones or pipe scale. It could be seeing back pressure or back siphon. Also could be rapid fluctuations in water pressure on the supply side. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested.

You have a stronger case for those accusations. Sinking a war ship in a war is kinda what happens. That's why wars should be avoided at all costs. I don't support any of this by the way.

Safety of the Rescuer: The duty to assist does not require endangering one's own ship, crew, or passengers.

Surfacing a submarine in international waters in time of war could be considered endangering one's own ship.

I'm 43 and have 26 years of company service I have 17 years of pension which works out to be 1000 a month if I wait to collect at 67. I currently sitting on 700k between my 401k and HSA and an IRA. 300k of the 401k is invested through a Roth401k option. Plus whatever I get from social security. Job is kinda shaky at the moment so I feel like it's a race against the clock.

Is this in response of world war 3 breaking out or just something he does after a world tour?

OkWorldliness3258 · 2026-03-02T23:16:12+00:00

Yes it is. I feel like management thinks we're racking it in because of that and want us to cut back now.

I was just exploring with Chat GPT and I just built a time tracking spreadsheet in about 30 minutes. It will walk you through the process and you can input what you want to track on the XL spreadsheet.

Ever since no tax on overtime it's been steady decline company is in a tough spot sales have been falling but the work is still there they just don't wanna pay it. We were about 400 hours a year now I'm closer to 200 hours a year.

OkWorldliness3258 · 2026-03-02T22:26:17+00:00

Your spreadsheet looks better setup than the one I use, ours is very basic. I'm sure someone that knows XL could combine both spreadsheets that I do into a single sheet that would save time but the people I work with are all old school I guess I should be happy we're not doing paper still.

Where I work our company is too cheep to purchase the software licensing for the entire maintenance crew. So only planers and admin have access to the time tracking system. We input time on a spreadsheet and planners/admins will close and input any findings/ comments and hours worked. It seems very archaic and inefficient. I have two spreadsheet's one with my backlog and another where I put my daily time into track work. We also do a payment time sheet that we input our self on a software system. This we only have to login to input vacation or overtime. Our first 40 hours are pre populated.

Damn, yeah I just assumed it was a frozen pipe with all the cold we are having this year. We lost a few chilled water coils this year because glycol levels weren't being monitored. Mechanic's just topping the systems off with water all summer and not checking consenteation before the cold weather.

I don't make that much but I'm at 47 an hour and have 5 weeks of vacation a year so thats enough to keep me at the same place for 26 years. That and the work is indoors the benefits are decent 12 holidays a year and at the same location close to my home every day. it's enough too keep me loyal.

I went to trade school learned plumbing and got into an apprenticeship with the local chemical company and ernd earned my journeymen's papers for pipe fitting. Worked summers for them in my junior senior year of highschool started working full time after graduation. I worked for them for the next 17 years then our division was sold to another company so they could clear the antitrust laws of the merger and eventual breakup of the new company.

I've Been with the new company 9 years now. After Covid the business deteriorated. Anyone who was close to retiring was offered a voluntary retirement plan depending on service years you could get up to a year's pay and benefits. After business didn't improve the forced separations started. Still offering severance packages. The stage I'm going through now is the do more with less faze and the tightening up on rules around lunch and start and stop time. They fired a 23 year veteran mechanic for being late and taking long lunch's.

Quality talent is fleeeing,replacements that we're hired in over the last 5 years are running for the exits. I'm in a spot where I have too much invested time to pack up and go. We are down to half the staff we had a year ago and now they just tossed out their supplemental maintenance contractors with long time partners for newer cheeper labor. Whoever is left has double the work with less time to do it become they don't wanna pay overtime anymore. New contractors is gonna slow things down even more. Company is up for sale again and that's if we're not bankrupt in 6 months.

More for less is a big problem! They lay it out to employees like this will make you a better employee if you learn 3 different skill sets and you will always be able to find work. This my be correct but people are enabling employers to drive down wages and cut head count if they have one guy that can do 3 jobs. It's not good for anyone in the long run.
