That job site in Beaumont had the worst steam drum I've ever seen

I was down in Beaumont last month helping patch a steam drum at a refinery, and the tube sheet damage was insane. Welds were cracked all along the bottom row from what looked like years of thermal shock nobody bothered to address. How do you let corrosion get that bad before calling in a crew?

Must've been my last job.

Three years in retail and @hannahk19 is spot on. That job rewired my whole approach to conflict. Still catch myself de-escalating conversations like I'm talking down a customer over a return.

I read somewhere that past jobs can really shape how you see things...
