Word of the Day for Saturday, August 9, 2008tittle-tattle \TIT-uhl TAT-uhl\, noun: 1. Idle, trifling talk; empty prattle. The literary tittle-tattle of the age. It is better even to have a useless hobby than to be a tittle-tattler and a busybody. The stir aroused by this latest piece of tittle-tattle quickly faded away, as if congealed under the icy wind of endless nights. Take care on your part, Friar Ange,' replied the philosopher, 'and as you're afraid of the devil, don't offend him too much and do not excite him against you by inconsiderate tittle-tattle. Tittle-tattle is a varied reduplication of tattle, which derives from Medieval Dutch tatelen, to babble. | |||||||||

WEEKLY Department Head Meeting
Department: Helena West Helena Regional Landfill
Date: August 11, 2008
Prepared By: Bob Gaston
Specific Weekly Activities:
Employees Tommy and Larry come in at 6:30am to start equipment and do daily maintenance; Mary comes in at 7:00am and turns on computer.
Terry arrives at 8:00am and checks his equipment and starts hauling dirt.
Once Larry has the working face and road ready he lets Mary start sending trucks down. Mary weighs the trucks and sends the trucks to the cell. Once the truck has emptied the driver returns and is weighed. Mary prints a ticket and the driver comes in and signs the ticket, the driver receives a copy. Each truck goes through this process each time. Mary also does random inspections on a daily basis. As the waste is placed in the cell the process of compacting begins. We start lunches at 10:00 am and go thru 12:00. After lunch Terry begins placing dirt around the working face so we can cover. Trucks are allowed to enter landfill until 3:30pm. After the last truck is weighed out Mary begins adding tickets and balancing with the computer and printing reports.
Mary is usually finished by 4:00pm. After the last truck leaves the process of finishing compacting and covering begin. This normally takes about one and half hours. Each day someone checks the leechate pumps and tanks. We have part time help to take care of litter, grass, office, scales, and other task. We maintain a daily maintenance log on all equipment and make sure hourly maintenance is maintained.
We work during all weather conditions and wet weather adds to the over time. Most weather damage repair is done on Sat.
