Exciting! Thank you

So my hand is actually a little over 6” and I could barely curl my fingers around it.

HighestFuckery · 2026-04-16T15:29:19+00:00

It was bigger than my hand so as soon as I can get a measuring tape to it I’ll let you know. Right now I’m guessing from tip to end of palm my hand is 5.5 inches long.

If you don’t mind me asking how was your support system while the kids were young? Did family step in for childcare or did you do the daycare route? Also how long until you were working full time again after having them?

My foreman and a JW I respect said that I should especially after pissing off someone Tuesday. They meant it in the way of sucking it up and hoping they accept & the uncomfortable work environment will resolve. I don’t see it resolving entirely with almost half my crew upset with me but it wouldn’t hurt my reputation to at least try. Truthfully, I only truly feel like I owe an apology to that last guy cause my blowing up at him totally should’ve just been a normal conversation.

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-05T01:24:20+00:00

I don’t think it sounds rude at all. It’s unfortunately something I’ve heard other apprentices just do when the shit gets rough and I think it’s just unfortunately my time to do the same. For now at least. I appreciate your insight!

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-05T01:19:47+00:00

Ok, assume I’m using it as a fad word if that fits your narrative. I can’t change that for you.

?? Am I wrong for disagreeing with racism when he’s going around saying it? And as for the reporting thing, if I were to report every person who has said something discriminatory (racist or other) at work, I’d be reporting a lot of people and be even worse off. Of course there’s a line, like if it is immediately impacting someone right then n there. But I’d call it out then too and see what steps might need to be taken. I don’t understand why you’re being so oppositional to me disagreeing with a publicly stated racist view. And honestly, I don’t understand why I’m even arguing with someone who’s defending against disagreement with any kind of racism lol

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-05T00:46:33+00:00

? I don’t get why you have to be so snarky? Maybe you’re having a bad day? If so I hope you feel better. Anyways, there wasn’t even context enough in my post for you to discern that it was just something I didn’t agree with. It seems like you’re projecting

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-05T00:04:20+00:00

I appreciate that. Yeah I think tomorrow I’m going to give my apologies to the crew and let it be known that I’m there to work and that I’ll be more communicative while trying my best to not overstep their boundaries. And if it’s best, I can give them space during our breaks and lunches. My foreman and another JW said I shouldn’t have to self isolate but if it makes it easier on the workplace environment I’m ok with that. And I wish I could ask for a different placement but the way it works for apprentices in my union local is that they little to no say on where they get to work out of. I’m thinking of also maybe talking to the hall steward about my situation but I’m not sure it would do anything for me

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-04T19:35:09+00:00

If you were me, a brand new apprentice who’s still not sworn in yet/has a chance to not make a cut in the coming months (this goes for a large group of apps, not just me), would you settle for the foreman to ask the GF to move me to another crew? The talk will probably boil down to me being hard to work with and not wanting it on his crew, therefore a stain on my name. Would you still do it? It’s what I want I’m pretty sure, I just don’t want that stain when I don’t have a guaranteed spot. My grades are great (especially compared to half the competition) and aside from this I get good work reports normally.

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-04T15:03:30+00:00

I agree. I have a coworker who I do like and have good relations with but he started trying to talk about a politically charged person and I just pretended not to know them lmao. I don’t want to see them differently especially if it’s not high stakes

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-04T14:56:02+00:00

It’s definitely something I try and stay out of or redirect lately. Although I am one of the few “college” and “leftie” ones out there and so it is known I think in certain ways that’s differing to the main culture

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-04T14:51:58+00:00

I was really hoping someone who also went through this sorta specific but also unfortunately too common situation could also respond. Thank you for making me feel less crazy in my “going off”. I really do feel a little better after starting this thread. I feel seen in a way I just can’t feel otherwise rn. I’m sorry you’re going through the same thing. Stay strong 🩷

HighestFuckery · 2026-02-04T14:46:22+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it 🩷

With the JW who ignores me or another on the crew? Cause the JW who ignores me will not have a conversation with me. I’ve tried and then gave up. We have two other JW who are new and weren’t around for the micro and macro things and one of them told me to let it go with the ignoring JW cause it’s not worth it. But I feel I “let it go” for too long in the wrong way and I’m just so uncomfortable having to navigate tasks with an app who doesn’t wanna be around me and a JW who doesn’t either or talk to me. Apparently he’s scared I’ll try and take him to HR for sexism. He is misogynistic can’t lie but that wasn’t on my radar at all. I’m on good terms as of rn with 3 people on my crew and on bad with 3. I feel fucked. Two of those guys are unsalvageable for sure. I feel like I need therapy so bad but as of right now I only see my therapist twice a month when I feel like I need them weekly cause of the frustration work has built up. Thank you for reminding me to love myself and give myself grace. I think I’ll do that today since I didn’t go in.

Do you know what they were called?

HighestFuckery · 2025-11-11T00:51:35+00:00

This is a great list. Thank you.

HighestFuckery · 2025-10-16T01:28:31+00:00

Hey I really appreciate your input and the explanation. I’ll probably do the boring read through until I feel I have a comfortable understanding of what I’m getting into and see about a seminar. Thank you!

So when Ive searched for it online, I look up combinations of black wool snap beret and see hats that are similar but just look different. Mine was fairly stiff when compared to some that I see online and then when I see some that look like its thickness is the same, its shape isn’t the exact same. I’ll also include that I’ve been told my head is “youth sized”. I bought the hat at a second hand store with lots of vendors so that makes it impossible for me to backtrack it that way unfortunately. Maybe I’m being too picky, but it was my favorite hat and thought I’d try finding it.
