are most places in the mountains all electric appliances?
based on my limited knowledge of looking at houses here, yes. I think it's mostly due to hard to run the gas lines. a lot of places just have a propane tank.

I’m mostly ok with my glass top electric range, you get used to it but it is annoying how long it takes a pot of water to boil. Also if I had induction I’d have to get pretty much all new pots and pans.
I’m not sure about asking for a raise for a 1 month side project that you haven’t even done yet. Either way you can’t do it until your concerns are addressed and you have adequate capacity or do it and then advocate for an increase in comp at year end.
yeah that makes sense. I wasn't planning on going down that route yet, but it does feel like a significant ask of me, and I already feel stretched pretty thin
I do think my workload has been pretty far beyond what I was told when hired, and I've made some substantial, unexpected, tangible impacts, and my manager has told me as much, but I was thinking it was too early for me to ask for shit now. Probably will just wait for year end, especially if I keep getting ammo like this crap
I told our realtor after we bought our house during the due diligence period that if we couldn’t convert our electric cooktop to gas then I didn’t want the house.
I like the df2009 approach, but I'd also throw out there another idea.
If the data is a mess, why not focus your efforts there, and in the meantime write a super basic GUI so your PMs could self-serve reports with WYSIWYG parameters rather than learning a skill they'll never need? The hours spent on lunch and learns and cross-training sounds like they'd be wasted if the reports PMs are pulling are Garbage In Garbage Out, so just sell the idea to your bosses of spending that time on technical debt/data cleaning and writing a self-service tool?
And there's no PowerBI or Tableau or Adobe or anything sitting on top of all that for producing reports? You're just doing SQL or R pulls and exporting to Excel or something?
My wife’s left the gas on twice in the past month (without the fire going). A bit surprised our carbon monoxide alarm never went off.
i was talking to my wife about this yesterday and we realized that keeping a electric glass cooktop clean isn't really much more challenging than keeping gas clean. so fine, whatever - I don't want to deal with a propane tanks if we don't have to.
