Dominion, the parent company of the power plant where I work, has come out with this little gem called the "Safety Rap". So, for your edification...

Tell you what, Laura: when I have my next outage (in October), and I work all those hours again, if personnel from Siemens (our biggest vendor) come here from their main office in Germany, I may ask you to teach me some choice words in German to mutter behind their backs when they start driving me nuts.

Ready to start teaching! What sort of words will you need? Plain old swear words, or something more elaborate?

Yeah, right.
Although I will say I probably let my exasperation lead me to ask a question of Laura that was, in hindsight, a tad bit inappropriate.

Just realized something. Is your company actually called "Dominion", Paul? And am I the only one to find that strange?

Yes, it is called Dominion. They own a number of power plants, primarily in the eastern half of the US. Why does the name strike you as strange?

It may be the context in which I learned the word - for me "dominion" is always associated with "evil".

Well, the two that was here are now gone. They were here just to test some equipment. I expect some more to come during the week, however, along with plenty of American employees from Siemens. If I have a chance to talk with them I'll see what part of Germany they come from, just in case you're curious.
