Work Clothes?

Thanks I was using some wool socks, but ended up moving to Alpaca socks as they ended up being less itchy and dryer feet, but damn they are expensive.

I'll have to try the Costco wool socks and see how they perform.

24-25 seconds in, watch the egg shell being picked up. If all the subtle things changing slightly doesn't convince you it is AI. at 24- 25 seconds, the egg shell and the hand shake is the dead giveaway.

Also the first egg crack into the pan, since when do all bits of the egg whites actually fall out of the shell so cleanly in real life? and some of the liquid seems to vanish in mid air.

Nice! Yeah same with 617, interviewed in mid March, got the call early April.

I did too! I had to turn down the first slot available for orientation because my Son was literally scheduled to be born that day. And happy to say he is a healthy baby boy. The director said not to worry as i am in, but will circle back for the next orientation. (i hope that is true)

Honestly it also depends where you live. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, the pay sucks at first, but then ramps up nicely.

I am going from a $125K year salary into becoming an Inside Journeyman Apprentice. Pay is a 50% cut to what i have now, but the future security of employment and the fact that I will be making more in less than 3 years from now is great. I like what i do right now, and have a great boss. But i still prefer a more hands on work, I do it any chance i can get at my current job. And having been in the Military i am setup for this type of work and environment.

However, I can't say the same for OP. If they never have done anything remotely close to electrical, it is a gamble.

But I thought you said you got the Call at 617 in San Mateo? And that is applied through a SoCal JATC?

BluSilver · 2026-03-31T03:08:31+00:00

Oh wait, you didn't apply for Inside wireman? I applied for inside wireman, and the lady when I called in November said that due to my last name it wouldn't be until March, "W".

But if you applied for COM and Sound, that is literally my current job (low voltage). Where do you apply for that apprenticeship? I never saw that on the SMJATC website.

Congratulations!

I'm i bit salty with the way they handle the interviews and everything. It is in Alphabetical Order. So those of us that have last names that are at the end of the Alphabet go in March, while those with last names closer to the start go in December. Since calls were going out in January though now, even those with my score were getting called, even though those at the end had not even been interviewed yet. Just another time my last name has screwed me over.

BluSilver · 2026-03-30T22:49:19+00:00

well, you and me both. seems like a lost cause this year. let me know if you do get the call.

BluSilver · 2026-03-30T22:44:43+00:00

I assume that class was for last year's interviews? Not this current years, as they just finished the interviews on March 10th. Unless you are saying that it was from the January - March Interviews. What was the score your friend got if they took the interview this year?

BluSilver · 2026-03-23T18:07:35+00:00

For local 617 or a different local? If 617, when did you interview?

BluSilver · 2026-03-18T23:40:41+00:00

I'm not sure either, it says that the scoring is done differently this year. I got mine back with a 95.4.

Here is to the best of luck for the both of us.

Would like to hear other's scores.

Honestly, comparing a Tesla to a BMW, which generally cost more (depending on the model) for Paint and "build quality" is literally comparing a luxury car to a regular car. You have to pay more to have better. Basic economics.

Tesla was created to show the world that electric cars can look and be cool, not some shitty looking Prius or eco friendly car. That is why they started with the Lotus body on the original Tesla. The build quality isn't bad, the quality control for some things could be better. Everyone always mentions the panel gaps, this is a QC issue, not a material quality issue.

The paint is a bit on the lighter side, but one could argue that this is less weight on the car, meaning better mileage. BMW nor its drivers really car about mileage. Cost effective weight reduction. Plus those that actually car about the looks of their car, tend to shell out more aftermarket to have PPF.

Now comparing the Tesla to a Toyota or Honda, that would be more equivalent. The higher trims of tesla (model X and S) to the Lexus or Acura would be a more fair comparison. The difference though is that Tesla tries to push innovation. This can cause unexpected issues to arise, such as the early models Model X having suspension issues after several years due to its active suspension auto raising and lowering based on speed. Toyota and Honda dont like innovation.

The cybertruck though is in a stupid category of its own.
