Ooh, that sucks dude
You ever get paid by that guy?
Hell. No! Pissed off bad too
@Deleted User no I did not
@Deleted User what's your question? @Deleted User's free haha, sorry
@RevStench I’m at work …give me a few...
There are a bunch of pieces of shit out there, man. Even amongst whites.
Applying for an apprenticeship next Wednesday, wish me luck
Good luck 🍀

Are you employed? Union? @Deleted User
It's an IBEW sponsored program/apprenticeship
900 in-class hours and 8000 on-the-job hours over the course of 5 years (or less). Something like that.
I didn't realize the Union was so strong in Texas
I was just asking because a lot of guys go to technical schools and lose out on thousands of dollars
I actually got advice from a few guys on here in terms of searching for unions/apprenticeships
Yeah, I think it was me
And Greg
I hadn't seen your avatar in a while, thought you were new
Destroying technical schools is my personal life goal
Oh, nvm
Lots of tradesmen in IE
😋
I have a cousin and uncle in the ibew, they like it
I've talked to a fella at the local branch about this apprenticeship, had a great conversation. They seem like standup guys.
I'm applying next Wednesday but I don't think I'll be taking the aptitude test/interview till December, from what I was told.
My mother in law called me yesterday, she’s selling her house and moving (farther away thank god) but she had a ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms that worked intermittently and wobbled pretty bad, stopped by after work to take a look....
LOL
Apparently the previous owner just stuffed the housing full of socks trying to keep it from wobbling
It wobbled because it was half ass attached to a light box, not one for a fan. I would have had to crawl about a mile through her attic to change the box, so I just put a light in its place. I thought the fan motor might have had a short anyway, but it had no continuity to ground, checked the incoming voltage, it was fluctuating between 110 and 40v. Pulled the light switch, whoever put it in had used the stab connectors instead of the screws and had cracked it.
Submitted all my paperwork today
test and interview somewhere in December
My family knows another young man currently ~2 years into the same program/apprenticeship that I'm applying for. He dropped out of college/nursing school with no prior trade experience and was accepted into the program. He says they are DESPERATE for motivated young men ready to work
(pretty much what ya'll that I've spoken to have told me)
Pretty positive that I'll be an employed apprentice electrician by the end of December
will keep ya'll updated
@Px4 you should see some of the crap I've pulled off of walls and ceilings.
Most memorable was a large outdoor led that filled up with water because a seal broke. Line was still hot, just heated all the water for who knows how long and burned the crap out of us when we took it down.
