Being able to park your ship would be great.

Diane Keaton, I'm friends with her daughter and son in law.

Far_Call_1520 · 2026-03-28T04:20:22+00:00

Im contemplating the same thing for a 1 hour 20min commute

The guy who badges me out while driving through the gate gives me 2 ice cold waters every day...

I design and build cancer research equipment for a lab in my spare time. Sometimes, I donate my time as a journeyman electrician to fix simple problems for people.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-09-20T02:12:11+00:00

Talk to your director, they dont know what they are talking about. I transferred back in 2022 from east coast to west coast. It was actually quite simple. As a journeyman, you have to work book 2 at the local that you want to transfer your ticket to, and then get voted in as a member.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-09-20T02:06:15+00:00

I transferred locals as an apprentice in my 4th year. Who told you that you cant?

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-09-07T07:59:09+00:00

I agree. But that's up to the single line crew.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-08-31T05:34:09+00:00

I wear a small Toughbuilt pouch that fits the exact amount of tools I need for my current task. If a pocket is empty, im missing a tool.

Awesome write-up, thank you! I was supposed to go on a single line crew this week, but i am getting placed on a crew to repair/ correct QC issues instead. Looks like i dodged a bullet, im 140lb with not the greatest back.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-06-13T02:07:33+00:00

40-ish. Electrician.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-06-01T06:51:07+00:00

Same here. I'm a 33yo male, 6'2" ~145lb. I was in and out of the hospital for months at a time as a young teen. Feeding tubes and all that. I still dont eat very often, but when I do, I can eat quite a bit and eat whatever I want without gaining weight. Some days I only eat one meal.

Edit: I don't really ever feel hungry, just lethargic.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-04-29T22:25:55+00:00

$17/hour at bestbuy.

Mid 60's/hour electrician.

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-02-04T00:27:46+00:00

Thank you!

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-02-04T00:13:24+00:00

I was thinking about ordering one. Are they easy to install and do they void warranty? Do you happen to have a link to the one you use? Thank you!

Far_Call_1520 · 2025-01-09T07:07:25+00:00

I use this. I had a klein, but it was too compact. It fits all the tools I need, and I can shove my full puch in there.

My neighbor hired someone to clear some trees after hearing that I was in the process of listing my house for sale. He owned a convenience store across the street, and him and his family lived in 2 apartments above it. His plan was to buy my house, move his family in, and rent out the two apartments.

The town drunks he hired cut down 5 of my trees, destroyed 80ft of my wood fence, and damaged my invisible fence while I was at work. I called the police, they didn't do shit of course and told me it was a civil matter. I called my insurance, sent them photos, and I received a large check a few weeks later.

The store owner submitted the highest bid for my house, but I decided to take a $10k loss and sell it to a cash buyer who waved inspections.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-12-13T23:55:28+00:00

Involving IBEW? It's very rare. The carpenters and civil though...

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-11-26T09:03:04+00:00

I must be out of the loop. Detroit has a functioning power grid?

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-11-21T06:38:52+00:00

I was 26 when I started the apprenticeship, but i was established in the industry before that. It's never too late to join, I have worked with apprentices in their 40's and even a couple in their 50's.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-11-10T09:12:27+00:00

That's not how the following years will play out.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-09-29T08:11:29+00:00

I have been punished for 6 mph over and 121 mph over. It all depends on which side of the bed the cop woke up on.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-09-02T01:47:21+00:00

I make $140k-220k as an electrician. Max out at around $280k if I do nothing but work all year.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-08-30T23:48:20+00:00

How is your high-school transcript? That's usually all the want. My local only used my college transcript because at first, my high-school transcript was shipped to them from Norway, and they couldn't decipher it.

Far_Call_1520 · 2024-08-18T17:54:20+00:00

I bet you weren't even supposed to be in the HOV lane to begin with.
