That's like half the year!

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

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.

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?

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).
