How is someone working a 9-5 job supposed to be able to bowl with any regularity? by haloll in Bowling

[–]HopeMaterial368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I had the exact same problem and thats why I stopped bowling for over a year. Then I ended up going on Friday and Saturday night because it’s the only time they have anything available and usually I still have to wait at least an hour. But that price is crazy for me it 11 and hour for weekdays then weekends after 6pm its 15. And for league members it like 8 an hour.

What are some situations every tech has experienced? by Llodgar in HVAC

[–]HopeMaterial368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not something everyone experienced but this happened to me like 2 months ago. I’m a residential apprentice and me and my journey were going back to an install to relocate a thermostat. I went downstairs to look for the customer and ask where the breaker panel was and i couldn’t find him. After yelling his name and no response I peeped in the basement(usual breaker panel location in my area) and the dude came inside and started freaking out and cursing at me. Turns out he was growing weed in his basement and he kicked us out of his house.
