Same here. Off the last 2 weeks of the year and still carrying over my max of 80hrs. Got to burn a couple more days.

80 hr carry over... that's good... I only get 40 hours to carry over. :ugh2:

120hrs this year. Last year was the same. Workload is just stupid.

best time of the year.. :tup::tup:

be blessed mr. godspeed.:hello:

enjoy sir..:tup::tup:

285 hours of banked PTO I gotta burn lol

That is where I started 3 months ago. LOL

very nice sir.. we get to carry over 240 hours each year.. so everything i earn, is excess.:tup:

If I was still at the plant. I would have gotten 280 vacation hours and 520 sick/short term hrs this year.

Been busy day. Took the wifey to see a surgeon. She needs surgery on her hand. Arthritis has damaged the joint in the thumb. Surgery schedule for Feb.

Good morning gentlemen!:tiphat:Gotta go and get a vascular procedure done on my left leg this afternoon.:eek:Anyway,everyone have a good day!:tup:

Howdy all! :hello:

That's like half the year! :eek:

I'm guessing you retired because the other half of the year at work was especially shitty :ugh:

Happy Thursday everyone :hello:

Home Depot had better benefits :rofl2:

This year would have made it 20 years there. I was hired on 9/16/2001.

I would still be there if Duke didn't sell the plant to Dynegy in 2015. When Dynegy took over. It was a clusterfvck. (still is from what I hear) They went from 1,800 employees to 6,000 overnight. They bought 11 power plants from Duke and another 6 plants from someone else. Complete change of corporate culture and it wasn't for the better. It was so bad that we took a union vote and voted the union in just before I retired. I left and was followed by 6 others within a year. The writing was on the wall.

Under Duke. The 401k was matched dollar for dollar up to 6% on all money earned. Dynegy was dollar for dollar up to 5% on base pay only. OT and bonus didn't count. My average bonus was $48,000, I average another $50,000 plus in OT. Dynegy was cutting benefits too.

If I wanted to pay for them. :icon14:

Those aren't benefits then :tup:

greetings mr. godspeed.:hello::hello:

It's a turbo car. That is what they do to you. It is where Boost Addict came from. Do I need to get you a sign up for Boost Alcoholics Anonymous?

:icon17:

yeah brother, I may need it...

I was driving it today and I thought to myself, I still have to install the down pipe and the exhaust (which Im still waiting on it, I ordered it 2 months ago).. its only gonna be faster.. I dont see why people order bigger turbos for this car, thats gotta be insane (and dangerous).

install that **** and then lets line em up.

:rofl2::rofl2:

we can do that kin folk, absolutely.:driving:
