Ooh, that sucks dude

2017-11-11 13:11:58 UTC  

You ever get paid by that guy?

2017-11-11 13:22:38 UTC  

Hell. No! Pissed off bad too

2017-11-11 13:26:12 UTC  

@Deleted User no I did not

2017-11-11 13:27:13 UTC  

@Deleted User what's your question? @Deleted User's free haha, sorry

2017-11-11 13:28:45 UTC  

@RevStench I’m at work …give me a few...

2017-11-11 13:29:55 UTC  

There are a bunch of pieces of shit out there, man. Even amongst whites.

2017-11-17 19:50:21 UTC  

Applying for an apprenticeship next Wednesday, wish me luck

2017-11-17 19:57:23 UTC

Are you employed? Union? @Deleted User

2017-11-17 21:00:09 UTC  

It's an IBEW sponsored program/apprenticeship

2017-11-17 21:00:49 UTC  

900 in-class hours and 8000 on-the-job hours over the course of 5 years (or less). Something like that.

2017-11-17 21:18:54 UTC  

I didn't realize the Union was so strong in Texas

2017-11-17 21:19:37 UTC  

I was just asking because a lot of guys go to technical schools and lose out on thousands of dollars

2017-11-17 21:20:41 UTC  

I actually got advice from a few guys on here in terms of searching for unions/apprenticeships

2017-11-17 21:20:53 UTC  

Yeah, I think it was me

2017-11-17 21:20:59 UTC  

And Greg

2017-11-17 21:21:18 UTC  

I hadn't seen your avatar in a while, thought you were new

2017-11-17 21:21:46 UTC  

Destroying technical schools is my personal life goal

2017-11-17 21:21:57 UTC  

Well I talked to a few guys via pm, just found this server today

2017-11-17 21:22:06 UTC  

Oh, nvm

2017-11-17 21:22:09 UTC  

Lots of tradesmen in IE

2017-11-17 21:22:13 UTC  

😋

2017-11-17 21:22:17 UTC  

I have a cousin and uncle in the ibew, they like it

2017-11-17 21:22:57 UTC  

I've talked to a fella at the local branch about this apprenticeship, had a great conversation. They seem like standup guys.

2017-11-17 21:23:49 UTC  

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.

2017-11-17 21:24:59 UTC  

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....

2017-11-17 21:26:22 UTC  

LOL

2017-11-17 21:26:25 UTC  

Apparently the previous owner just stuffed the housing full of socks trying to keep it from wobbling

2017-11-17 21:44:28 UTC  

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.

2017-11-29 22:26:54 UTC  

Submitted all my paperwork today

2017-11-29 22:27:01 UTC  

test and interview somewhere in December

2017-11-29 22:27:55 UTC  

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

2017-11-29 22:28:06 UTC  

(pretty much what ya'll that I've spoken to have told me)

2017-11-29 22:28:28 UTC  

Pretty positive that I'll be an employed apprentice electrician by the end of December

2017-11-29 22:28:32 UTC  

will keep ya'll updated

2017-11-29 22:44:37 UTC  

@Px4 you should see some of the crap I've pulled off of walls and ceilings.

2017-11-29 22:46:21 UTC  

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.
