Badge sniffer, eh? Just kidding. Sort of. I'm sure TVA has very high standards. Except for the places where I know they don't.:)

There are vey high standards for what I am a part of. Whether they listen to what I have to say is another matter all together. The fact is we have old plants that have problems that come with that age. But as a whole my plant has made great efforts to better those situations and we have several other major upgrades that I am not privy to speak about at this time. But with any other govt. agency the main issue is there are way too many chiefs looking to move up ladders which causes a great deal of the bad pub that TVA continues to get.

I just need a good practice target. I'm thinking heart. I don't think she'll shoot me if I screw up and get noticed. Kat, would probably shoot me twice, once in each head. And Volga would probably just beat the living hell out of me, and not in the good pain kind of way.

TVA is good money for a lot of people. Their actual ethics......I just know of a dozen or so personal stories. It's a good gig though as long as you stay in good standing.

I bought that one because it got really good ratings on Amazon and the ink is fairly cheap. It does a good job on scans, copies and does great printing on hard stock. The WiFi was extremely easy to set up. And, it was cheap. I've used Epson printers for the past 10 years with no problems. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

Peach is probably more of a knife girl. I'm afraid of what she would try to cut off.

There is a lot of talk and not a whole lot of behind the scenes action if that is what you are referring. There is onlyso much pencil pushing that can be done. But from the folks in the plant there are a lot of fantastic individuals who are extremely knowledgable that have to carry the load of inept management. I just have to smdh at a lot of it.

Inept management seems to capsulize the TVA environment from what I know. I've had a number of friends work there in different capacities and poor management seems to highlight our past conversations regardless of location of facility. TVA seems to epitomize the Peter Principle more than most.

Corporate makes the decisions and has no idea or capacity to understand the inner workings of the nuclear atmosphere. They handle the money and that is all they understand. They can't even do that properly. I have no idea why common sense is so incomprehensible with most of management.

From my experience being in that field (management), most think they know more than the ones actually doing the work. My success came from knowing that the ones doing the work knew more than the rest of us concerning how things go.
