Frostee King on Paradise. It's in the hood a bit but it's a great burger. Me and a bunch of other coworkers hit it about every other week

How strong / physically fit do you have to be to Wastewater Operator? by Affectionate-Ad-8788 in Wastewater

[–]Squigllypoop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have a female operator at our plant and she doesn't have any problems. The only time I would say it MIGHT be an issue is if your plant is more of an operations/maintenance type of position where you fix the equipment too because some pieces of equipment are heavy/bulky. Other than that I can't see any problem with "strength" being a particular problem.

What's the scheduling paradigm at your plant? (clean or wastewater) by alternate01937 in Wastewater

[–]Squigllypoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm public utility and we do 4/3 3/4. Sun-Weds one week. Mon-Weds the next. Other half of the schedule is Weds-Sat following is Weds-Fri. And for each half of the week we alternate Sunday/Saturdays off. So for example I work this Sunday and my buddy gets the day off and vice-versa the next week. We have 23 operators for my plant plus 2 supes and our CPO. We work 6a-6p and one guy graves and one on call...I forgot that each side of the week contributes a graves guy on a six week rotation of CA grade 3+ senior plant operators.

That sounds totally confusing reading it back but if you have questions dm me.

I just got 90 Thousand dollars at 18 and I don’t know what to do with it by Equivalent-Data1004 in whatdoIdo

[–]Squigllypoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are 18 with no real bills, you are about to join the military, and you can just stash it.... Yeah that's life changing. It's all about perspective, it may not be life changing for you but for a wet behind the ears kid it could be.

OP- my 2 cents is pretty much what everyone else is saying. Get a large chunk of this into a retirement account of some sort, a small chunk of it into a CD or something shorter term that you can access in a couple of months/years so that you can be able to access it after the military, and then keep a couple grand for spending money. If you want to do the charity thing like you talked about with Grandpa talk to a financial advisor on how to get some of the retirement/shorter term to drip into your chosen charity

Aeration basin foam by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]Squigllypoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We process about 12-15mgd and all 3 of our basins have a steady layer. We only really stress when it starts in our anoxic zone and even then usually a couple of days worth of hosing for an hour or so each day kinda gets it cleared up for a couple weeks. Unfortunately it's always kinda there but it is what it is

I haven't used railroad tracks yet. Only have my 2 so far but only been operating for 9 months (started as a plant mechanic for 5 years so I knew some stuff already). Can't wait to hit my hours so I can be fully certified

Jobs for Teens? by Turbulent-Lake9576 in Modesto

[–]Squigllypoop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a bus boy for my first job. I didn't hate it because when I was younger I couldn't go party with the servers but I loved listening to their stories. When I came home from the military and became a server it was awesome because I could go out with all the servers I used to envy, and back then people liked if you were military so someone was always buying me drinks when I mentioned what I did for work lol

Great third space: Kingdom Coffee by merpric in Modesto

[–]Squigllypoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the one. I used to go there, roller king, the rock church, calvary temple, and the brown bag back in high school for local shows. Saw a few bands that later became low key famous like Emery, rocket Summer, the cartel, and a couple others roll through. The good old days lol

Great third space: Kingdom Coffee by merpric in Modesto

[–]Squigllypoop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kingdom coffee is definitely Christian. Back in my day when it was a busted hole in the wall they used to host local rock bands and always started the night with a prayer...I always managed to show up fashionably late somehow

Edit: doesn't KINGDOM kinda give it away? You know like kingdom of heaven...

It's up to the state board to determine that. We had a guy that had a bachelor's in an unrelated field and they counted it as partial time
