Yeah it was a bridge to Ketchikan's airport, the only easy way in or out, and currently inaccessible in any kind of bad weather due to the rinky dink ferries. It was going to be expensive because the channel is very deep and the bridge still had to let cruise ships past.

Of course Palin's administration took the money anyway and spent it on roads elsewhere, because the only point of an Alaska politician is to siphon as much federal spending as possible

I take calls from disaster survivors to sign them up for fema assistance :D :yayyclod: :D :D :D

i was already recovering from covid and my god my throat is killing me. I got moved to 7 days a week, 12-14 hour shifts, as did the rest of the phone monkies fema has been furiously hiring lately in preparation for hurricane season/climate change, but... It's bad. It's so bad. There are still hour long wait times and by the time people get through the connection is so bad due to lack of cell service half the time I can't take them anyway...

One of the things that makes it bad is we don't have like jack poo poo set up yet. People keep asking for poo poo we had set up after katrina while management keeps going WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME (hotel reimbursement being the biggest one, I'm sick as hell of telling people uhhhh umm i l know we're partnering with hotels but management hasn't told us anything and I'm relying on rumors from people calling in saying they overheard hotel folks gossiping about it.)

Whenever I can get someone to call me sweetie or otherwise tell me I've been a great help, it is nice, but... hot drat do I hope they get power back sooner than in a few weeks. Or hotel assistance or something. Because Holy poo poo. Holy mother of god. Holy poo poo guys i mean like hot drat oh my loving god.

e: post above me, they got SOME power? thank loving god because as i sad: oh my god. holy poo poo. my god

Lol we've been giving out one-time checks of 500 bux to people who say they have immediate needs for gas/medication/food (this one's big because with the evacuation mandate nearly everyone calling needs it so I've been asking people about it specifically and very clearly (half the time theyre like no im still in my house and im fine :) (they are not fine it's been two days without power and it's like 100 degrees and humid as poo poo down there and neither of those things look like they're changing any time soon)))

They're hiring a shitton of phone people and I'm hoping like hell they're hiring an equal or greater amount of boots on the ground (haha) (lol)

This job involves an (un)surprising amount of being yelled at. I prefer this to people who are pissed they need to submit more goddamn paperwork seriously i already submitted this three times :argh: I also wish we could accept photos of amazon labels of proof of occupancy maam :(

IHP customer service rep, Try USAjobs. It's not permanently remote, we're just wfh now due to covid, but we aren't due to go back in until January. I'm trying to arrange a more permanent WFH position myself tbh. :shobon: If you don't live near one of the NPSCs (MD, VA, TX) you probably won't be able to either, they require you to drive in to grab the laptop/headset and do all the paperwork.

Brake checking is a great way to get run off the road. If they don’t hit their brakes in time they have a lot more control over where you go than you do. Just saying
