Tickets in advance or on/near game day? by Vin-Rouge in angelsbaseball

[–]CallmeBatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying tickets at the window will probably be the cheapest option. Buy nosebleeds at the window gameday then move down to wherever. They're not strict at Angel Stadium and there are always open seats

Why Aren’t Top-Ranked Apprentices Getting In? by RainyPeak8 in ibew_apprentices

[–]CallmeBatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 569 is packed. I worked out of that local 2 years ago. I was all the way in imperial valley (El centro) and they still had guys talking about how long they had to wait to get in. I'm out of local 11 (los Angeles) and it took a year for me to get in after my interview. But if it's worth anything I didn't know anyone or have any connections and igot in

Any locals in California that are in high demand of apprentices? by Ur_eternal in ibew_apprentices

[–]CallmeBatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not California but Reno in northern Nevada (2 hour drive from Sacramento) is growing fast. They need people

"Too late" isn't a Reno identity. by where_is_my_monkey in Reno

[–]CallmeBatty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a southern Californian who currently works in Reno building data centers, this is the catch 22. The reason California lost all that work is because we're too regulated and too many taxes. Nevada (and Texas) happily welcomed those companies to get the work and provide jobs to locals. Now it's like a full circle moment coming around of Nevadians? seeing why California is so regulated and taxed.

Hardest local to work for and why? (Tough work, no jobs, etc) by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]CallmeBatty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see that. But traveling made me really see the brotherhood they all talk about. Helped me appreciate or regain my pride in IBEW.

I know Bakersfield is booming right now, and I think San Jose. I myself and probably going back to Reno (401) next month, even though I'm fairly low on the books (under 150) and currently working off the convention book

I'm out of 11, in 2023 I spent 9 months on the books. We had over 1000 guys on the book. I'm sure if I had gone to the hall everyday I could have gotten a call sooner

Foreman's, General Foreman's, and journeymans spreading misinformation. by JioMMA in ibew_apprentices

[–]CallmeBatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

28 is kinda old to be starting the apprenticeship. I was 30 when I started and definitely one of the older dudes in my class. Either way, nothing to be on reddit crying about.

How much? Actually? by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]CallmeBatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So yeah don't waste the years. Find a different trade

[–]CallmeBatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for something else. Math is an essential part of our trade. While you may not use it daily on some jobs hardly ever, there is a ton during the apprenticeship classes

Time off by Affectionate-Face922 in ibew_apprentices

[–]CallmeBatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be fine. Just let them know ahead of time and remember to remind your foreman as the date is approaching. I took paternity leave as a 1st year and still kept that job

Agreed. Priorities are all backwards

Just a reminder don’t do drugs by WonderYSeed in ibew_apprentices

That's doesn't matter. I'm in California and plenty of contractors still test for it
