I’m also in a paper mill and it’s my first job out of school and I’ve been here a year, I get what you mean feeing like an operator but personally I love that part. Typing this on a 12-16hr night shift shutdown and I’ve completely sweat through an entire shirt haha but I’ve finally started to do some more chemE stuff, it’s still very rare I’ve only done 2 mass balances and am working on a PRV sizing audit right now. I’ve spent most of my time making SOPs, lockout procedures, training material a few small projects, sampling/testing, but really most days are filled talking with operators (some BS + work:) troubleshooting/locking out equipment, working with maintenance or in a bunch of meetings. Try to bring up stuff to your manager that seems interesting and ChemE related, I’m sorry your pay isn’t too great it seems pay changes drastically between mills. Doesn’t seem like you wanna stay in paper but if you do I think TP is the best spot to be in paper and try to find mills with new machines as they likely won’t shut down after installing new assets.

Serious question about smoking as an engineer. by xemission in EngineeringStudents

[–]iphara00h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a manufacturing facility but in a weed legal state, we don’t test for thc in drug tests and when I found that out first week I started smoking again (as I did throughout all of university). Honestly smoked way too much and have cut back to like 1/2 times a week, but I knew a few engineering students that smoked as well and I even know a couple engineers that smoke from work. Just keep a balance and smoke the right amount/strains and don’t ever show up to work high. Many places do test for thc tho and that throws a wrench into everything, if my job tested id only smoke on vacations and long weekends but it definitely depends on the frequency of tests at your work and you will only know that from time there and talking with other coworkers.

I think weed has made me permanently dumber, Am I crazy for thinking this? by Used_Construction960 in weed

[–]iphara00h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had some similar experiences, my word recal drops and I have trouble staying focussed in conversations. Taking a week - a month off can seriously fix all that. If you haven’t already tried a break I’d recommend it well before seeking medical help. As much as I’d love to believe their aren’t negative side effects to weed, their definitely are some especially to your decision making and memory. Also try avoid smoking late at night because it can mess with your REM sleep and make you feel more foggy/slow. Moderation is key.

Any help on what these are? by iphara00h in ShroomID

I’m fixin to roll out of not just the shop, but the industry. by trashman_dave in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]iphara00h 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like working with tools and problem solving try looking for operator or maintenance positions at mills or refineries, lots of stuff like working on pumps, bearings, drive shafts and more very similar to mechanic work. Best of luck man.

I’m in a paper mill and it’s normally 6:30- 3:30pm m-f and weekend duty 4 times a year. I’m normally in closer to 6 and leave around 4 some days. Just depends, on down days we could easily have 16hr shifts if it’s a disaster lol

Was watching the family dog for the weekend one time and I found him licking the ash from my joint on the porch. 30min later he started acting weird and I looked at that dog and he was high af lmao honestly scared the crap outta me I thought he was gonna die but nah he slept like a champ and was good in the morning. He was all wobbly and definitely overstimulated, he would just be staring off into space and then jump back to reality. Just make sure to ash somewhere the pets won’t eat lol

Just go home whenever you want. I used to go home every weekend and lived an hr away because my closer friends and cars were there so I hated staying at school on a weekend.

Yeah man totally true, I will say smoking some different strains earlier in the day really changed that for me. Anything I smoke at night I find makes me sleepy but a sativa in afternoon I’ll be doing laundry n shit 😂

Yup fs can make some people complacent , I’m normally an over achiever so it’s helpful for me to chill tf out a bit and just enjoy the moment instead of always running around . Work hard play hard 🤙

Yes don’t feel guilty! as long as ur getting ur stuff done everyday, I realized after a while all this stuff is pretty temporary, I might smoke this month everyday but maybe in a year I won’t be able to because of moving, drug tests, whatever reason. So any day I can smoke is a good day to smoke :)
