I have worked for NES as a burner/crane operator for three years now. When I go on road jobs with the crane,our maintenance supervisor feels it is his duty to come and supervise the job.As usual,he over rides me,screws something up and tells the boss it was all my fault. He is a real (I will put this politely) boot licker.
Friday morning I was called in to the office and promoted to maintenance supervisor with a fat pay raise,a company phone and my own office. For some unknown reason the aboriginal maintenance supervisor was given his severance pay and sent down the road. My first official move was to promote our WitOutPapers maintence helper to my old position as a burner. He is functionaly illiterate,overweight 63 year old and cant weld so he is of no use to me. He came in Saturday morning,cleaned out his locker and quit.
This leaves me with three broken excavator mounted shears,a broken and mangled car bailer,two Senibogen cranes sorely in need of attention and a 98 Freightshaker with a timberjack mounted crane that has issues.
Massive overtime,here I come. It is so nice to get ahead for a change and I guess I will be doing nothing but eat sleep and work for the next year to get all these problems sorted out
life is good these days
