Job listings for skilled water operators in Jackson.

Anonymous said...

Doesn't appear that the successful candidate will be required to take up residence within the corporate boundary of the City of Sevierville, Tennessee.

No mention of whether the successful candidate must be black.

City with Soul! (and no clean water).

residency requirements??

You thank you so damn clever but I ain’t never heard of that site so how the fuck would anyone even apply plus the mayor and his network has this on lock.

Kingfish said...

Maybe because you are ignorant?

Actually, it's the professional association for water works companies around the country, including municipalities and counties. In fact, New Orleans WSB has several listing.

I guess it's asking too much to expect a public works department to know about its own professional association.

1. The mayor today said they posted the jobs on the city website 🤣
2. Are people going to be expected to pay their water bill for undrinkable water???

Kingfish said...

I posted the screen shots Saturday. There was ONE posting for a water operating with a Class D license, not a Class A. Only requires a high school education. Not even close to the same thing.

I got it. None of them are for Jackson.

Better yet, look at the pay they are offering for the Jobs that are posted.

Well, if you post it where qualified people see it, one might apply for it. How the hell you supposed to hire a cronie if the job gets filled?

In today's presser, Hiz honor baby Chowke, in explaining why the water treatment vacancies aren't on the city's career website, had to ask one of his gofers if they are posted on indeed.com.

What a tool. He obviously doesn't want to fill the much needed vacancies.

@ 3:42, who is paying you to troll this site and why? Are you and others finding out how we know your people cannot run the city? You know and I know the mayah has failed and yet you all thump your chests and want to control the city but you have no idea how because you are too proud to ask for help or hire anyone who can operate the city departments properly. If KF didn’t report these issues we sure wouldn’t get any reports from our local news outlets. So, before you go and spew your venom against a person who is trying to help everyone. Remember all boats float when the tide rises. If you can’t understand that then you have failed.

“ has this on lock”, oh they have it on lock, alright. The self-inflicted crisis Jackson finds itself can only continue to deepen.

The inexperienced mayah, with his inexperienced entourage, has sailed the good ship of Jackson into an iceberg, of inexperience, and onto the jagged rocks of arrogance.

With the Ross Barnett Reservoir, oh so near, yet, the passengers of the good ship Jackson find themselves in the precarious position of water, water everywhere, but only bottled water to drink.

With all the damage that has been done, to this point, can Jackson stay afloat? If Jackson does continue to float, and not capsize, how long will the recovery take?

Will the mayah recover himself from the blindness of arrogance in time to right the ship? If not, will the passengers of the good ship recognize his inability in time to change the captain, err mayah. Time will tell.

In the job listings, one position was created for Lil Choke's skill set: Meter Maid. He could write Marxist propaganda on the back of his tickets. Don't allow pockets in his uniform, however.

The site is the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Anyone in the industry would know about the site. AWWA actually sets the engineering and material standards for the water industry. They set standards for everything in the industry and their standards are used daily in specifications. They provide training, support, etc. for the industry.

When you are looking for a higher level position (public works director, city engineer), or are looking for a position that isn’t easily found nearby (such as Class A operator), it’s a great place to advertise. I would advertise there if I was Jackson. Admittedly, it’s not what you use looking for trackhoe operators, and leak fixers. But you can hire that local and by word of mouth.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
