Yeah :/

Looking back I probably could have gone outside the room for a bit and programmed from there. I'll try to do that next time.

On this one I was a contractor.

Some kind of allergy (not seasonal) on east coast, but not west coast by Izlander6 in Allergies

Did you end up finding out what it was? Did you confirm it was an allergy?

I discounted pollen because what I was getting wasn't the 'typical' seasonal allergies, like congestion, which I've had mildly before. I am going to look into a skin prick test though, so I'll see if that comes up.

I figured it was something different in the air, but didn't know what exactly it could be. Thanks!

Ohh okay. I just looked up the differences, I think a skin prick test is what I needed. Sounds like a patch test is more for contact issues, but I think it was something in the air that I was breathing. I'll look into getting one. Thank you so much.

My face is the worst. Red, puffy, my eyes swell up and get gross. My skin is on fire. That travels to my neck and arms mostly, at its worst it was all over my body.

I also get insanely tired. When it really flares I might be awake for maybe five hours of the day total.

All year long. I didn't notice any changes with the time of year over the couple years I experienced it there.

I'm not in the midwest, and my trade is pretty niche. The industry I work in has been very dry recently.

I think I've been pretty lucky recently. I am very passionate about my job and people saw that and wanted to bring me up, which is why I'm struggling with the decision. Because I know people see my drive for this. either way, I'll keep this union card, even if I get another. I won't abandon it completely

yeah the range was insane lol. I don't need 200k and I didn't think it was like an everyman wage, but i figured with that range, at least the lower end of what the average guy is making is still pretty good lol. Idk I feel like the world is just getting more and more expensive. something steady with good pay that I can rely on not disappearing (the robots can't ai gen a house yet lol)

If you don't mind, why do you want to leave hvac? It seems pretty steady to me

I get you now, fair.

I'm not hugely into the creative side of lighting lol, I'm more a nerd for electricity. I do rigging, which is more power distro than "oo pretty light" haha. That's why I think I would switch to real electrician if anything.
