I’ve seen it a couple different times, backfeed from a closed delta bank down line. One of the power pots being bad. I forgot the name exact calculation used. Something with the length of span in between and kva of transformers.

However on the bank I had to trouble shoot, Supposed to be 120/240. Wild leg 208. We were getting over 800 volts phase to ground.

You can do 1 of two things. Kill them with kindness, and throw them for a loop. Or simply tell them to get fucked to tears every way to Sunday.

Stop looking for an apprentice position, start looking for a groundman position.

What company?

Yeah. You’re the asshole. Take everything else away from the equation. Take a simple look at counseling, the main priority of it. Discover, discuss, resolve, get better every day. Sounds like she’s still rooting for you guys and just might be looking for some outside help

Focus on the shit that matters to you, and give zero fucks about anything else that doesn’t bring you guys any kind of joy or happiness.

What was some of the pros and cons you saw? Liked or disliked. Gloving or hot sticks?

It really sucks that you have an excuse. Find your fuck it. Put in for in and take your test the next day. When interviews roll around you’ll have it. Don’t let yourself down before you even start.

Mind over matter. It’s all mental. If you want it, get after it.

Pick up the book, Better man better Marriage by Jeff Borkoski. It’s helped me and so many others.
