no one has asked what job it is... DUNNO!

I'll be working for the DuPage Water Commission. My official title is assitant operator. The pumping station I will be working at supplies entire DuPage county with water from Lake Michigan, it pumps 200 million gallons of water a day. It is the second largest pumping station in Illinois. At any given time, I am one of two people on the clock making sure everything is running like a top. Whether it be maintenance, emergency repairs, monitoring chemical levels, water levels in stand pipes, and anything else related to keeping the water supply. I have to maintain/repair generators, bearings, high voltage switch gear, 1000+ HP electric motors, pumps, boilers, air handlers, centrifugal chillers, plumbing, you name it.

The hours are pretty awesome. 12 hour shifts, 6 to 6, 4 days on 4 days off, and every 7 weeks it alternates between night and day shift. Kinda like working every other week.

Yes it did ryan. Not as much as I was making before though. The hourly pay is a little lower, but the salary will end up being decent, because I work 48hours a week.

I just got home from signing the paperwork, pissing in a cup, and the turn head & cough routine. All that stuff will pass with flying colors. Im starting on Tuesday June 1st!! This is going to be such a relief not worrying about living paycheck to paycheck any more.
