Asphalt Offloading and Additive
May. 12th, 2011 10:17 pmSo Steve and I are pretty much getting stuck with a kind of shitty job. Which is alright. Turns out Steve and I have a fuckload in common. Makes the day go by a little more quickly, anyway. He was saying he wants to hook me up with some artsy girl that lives next door to him and his wife. Funny, but maybe. I met him the first day I was at the refinery for classroom orientation. He had just moved up from Alabama. Strange coincidence he's turned out to be a kindred soul.
Basically we're offloading overloaded asphalt tankers and adding additive to those that need it, as well as greasing and doing some general maintenance on the load swing arms. It's probably going to be shift work...not sure if we'll get split up or we'll be working together on a semi-permanent basis. Will find out tomorrow what the plan is.
Apparently summer time is a really high-traffic season for the asphalt racks so they may want us there doing it for a couple months. It sucks in a way because we're the only ones trained to do it, and we won't be learning anything outside of it...and there's not a whole hell of a lot to it, either. But on the other hand it's pretty low stress and we don't really need to impress anybody while having this particular job.
Weekend is almost here. I'm excited. I really need a break from everything. Hoping I can coax kayla to come hang out with me or something just for fun :) And maybe just spend the rest of the weekend relaxing at home.
