Do you need someone to run your errands during the turnaround?

What's a Turnaround?

A turnaround is what we call our annual shutdown. The plant I work at is 24/7 with the exception of 2-3 weeks in the spring when we shutdown and do repairs/inspections/upgrades we can't do while running.
It's quite a time, we go from 30 employees to an extra 75 ~ 100 contractors onsite.

That sounds like a lot of stress potential. Do you employ dogs on herding duties?
No dogs.
Last year I saw a contractor pretend to put out a cigarette on his tongue. I told him I'd give him a dollar if he did it for real. Of course he declined. Another contractor overheard, took the cigarette, put it out on his tongue, then demanded his dollar.
Every time I saw him after that if he had a ciggy* he would put it out in the same manner and ask for a dollar. I think I paid him ~ 4 dollars over the course of the turnaround.
(* we allowed smoking in designated areas only which is the reason I was only out 4 dollars)

The only place in the USA I might consider moving to...
What? They might need average Janes like me to use as test subjects or something!
I might consider taking up smoking just to be able to do that trick.
Though, I might demand $2.

That's a little steep for me..
This morning a contractor accidently hit a control valve and shut the whole plant down. Before anybody whines the valve is about twenty feet off the ground and the guy had to knock it pretty hard to trip it.

Was he a very tall chap?
No, sorry the contractors were building scaffolding and were passing board up when they hit the valve.

So did you all go out and celebrate?
erm, No.

Turnaround Day 15
I'm pooped. This is the first time in 15 days I've been able to sit in my office for longer then 20 minutes at a stretch.
Finally getting a chance to catch up on non shutdown activities. It seems I missed a star wars weekend here on the forum.
