What's it like to the the best at something?
It means that whenever there is a problem they call you.
This time it meant that I got an all expense paid trip to Kansas City (which is in both Missouri and Kansas). The regional office controls engineer (whom I trained last fall) was unable to get a single motor turning in the two weeks that he had been on-site. So the project manager calls the home office and off I go.
After being there for 2 hours I had many rollers turning and by the time I left that first day I had nearly everything running. By the end of the second day it was all running...we only needed the weekend so that we could install the remainder of the conveyor.
Now, since I have been doing this for over 2 years and the other guy had never done it before at all is no reason belittle his skills.
The long and short of it is that I am getting paid a bunch of extra hours for doing someone else's job. ¶ 21:10
