It’s good to see commentary from someone else who has spent time in a control room. Were you generation, transmission, or both?

A little of both. The commentary I posted earlier relates to (relatively brief) time in the regional dispatching center. Balancing loads, dispatching generating assets, routing transmission, that kind of thing. But I have done time in power [plant control rooms as well, primarily in an advisory capacity, but have had occasion to be a “rod jockey”. All that was for experience and knowledge. Like I said, I didn’t want to work shifts, even though the pay differential was quite handsome. The money came in handy later, believe me.
