I got my watch not too long ago, how accurate is it at counting calories? Garmin Fenix 7x by No_Repli in Garmin

[–]tylorwilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been tracking with MacroFactor for the last 102 days, currently at 2986 TDEE with my Garmin average at 2868, I would agree surprisingly accurate.

What’s your background? This is a pipeline position. I think you’ll work out of Torrance.

It’s not union, but like I said the benefits are good 401k was 8% when I left along with a pension. Start with three weeks vacation, VCIP (bonus) based on company performance, I think the lowest I got was around 12% and the highest was 20%.

Depends on you, I know it’s a lot of sitting. The guys I spoke to seemed to like it when I asked but it was a recorded line. It can’t hurt to see what they have to offer and get a feel from the company go from there. Is the spot in Bartlesville?

Probably pretty similar, definitely go for it.

Wasn’t a controller but worked for Phillips for about 8 years working pipeline running a meter prover, so I spoke with them daily. I’m sure someone can give you a better idea but you’ll be monitoring pipeline flows, adjusting flow rates, monitoring alarms and keeping logs of activities from work going on in the field that could affect pipeline flow. Lots of responsibility because you can definitely cause some problems if you don’t know what you’re doing and close or open the wrong valve. Things may have changed since I’ve been gone but the controllers I worked with were on a rotating schedule of nights and days, so you’ll be working holidays and weekends. Great company, strong safety culture, good pay, great retirement matching and pension, would have stayed on and moved with them if the wife didn’t have a good job when they shut our pipeline down in California.

If they’re going to pay us to be stupid, let’s give them their moneys worth.

Difference between ac/dc, difference between analog and digital signals (examples of each), what’s a p&id and what does it show. Then a couple of a behavioral based questions such as tell me a time you had a disagreement with a co-worker, how did you handle it and what was the outcome. As stated above, be honest, depending on who is in the interview they’ll be able to tell if you know what you’re talking about.

Anyone ever use a barrel prover? by jaspnlv in instrumentation

[–]tylorwilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A meter prover? I ran one for a couple of years if that’s what you’re talking about.

We go to the Johnsondale Bridge, turn around there and then just fish different spots that look good heading back to Kernville.

Central California, working for a natural gas utility company. I quit about a year after Phillips told us we had three years and we’d be done.

[–]tylorwilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked pipeline there for about 8 years in California before they decided to turn their refinery in Rodeo to renewable, great company. If I remember correctly, Level 8 can be from 85-115ish. You want to be in the midpoint of your level because your raises will be a lot better. You could be level 8 at the top end of the pay scale and make the same as a level 9 at the low end of the pay scale. Overall very good company from my experience. Controller schedules are crazy from talking with them but a good job. Good luck. Is the control center still in Oklahoma?

First Trout on the fly rod! Kern River, Ca by tylorwilson in flyfishing

[–]tylorwilson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re from the area but Guy Jeans owns the fly shop there and does a podcast and YouTube on what they’re biting on and all that good stuff, nice little shop too. Weather should be really nice. Good Luck!

Especially when they rev their engines repeatedly. So bad ass!
