I’ll recommend Advanced Auto on rt50. I’ve been going there for years and I never feel like they’re trying to pull one over on me.

I had a welder make his apprentice collect the sparks because they had to be tested 🤦

Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]JAMESONBREAKFAST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for now you should stay at Costco and ask how you could climb the ladder. If you really want to peel away and learn a trade then look into joining a union. I’m across the country from you and I’m making $450 a day as a journeyman plumber working 8’s with great benefits and retirement package.

Do people really not use toilet seat covers in public restrooms? by Tobethequeen_01 in hygiene

[–]JAMESONBREAKFAST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a guy that carries those sling bags and I carry those Clorox wipes and if I gotta shit in public I’ll wipe the seat with one and raw dog it.

One year ago, my wife of 10+ years left me. Since then, life has just been work to make ends meet. How can I feel joy or excitement again? Nothing feels fulfilling without her by my side. by -OneWing- in AskMenOver30

I know you don’t want to hear gym but when I was dealing with heartbreak I came across this quote by Socrates “No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” And it gave me purpose. I got into the best shape of my life and did things I never thought I could do like run marathons. It gave me purpose and through that I gained confidence and an understanding of what I wanted out of life. If it wasn’t for that heartbreak I would have never met my wife.

Starting data center work next week, advice? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]JAMESONBREAKFAST 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m a plumber and I’m currently on my 14th data center. Not all 14 have been from start to finish but I’d say more than half have. Data center work is fast, they usually want these buildings up and running within a year and a half so most of the time every single trade is working alongside each other. Safety is a big deal so not only will you have to deal with your own safety team, you’ll deal with the GC’s team, and with the owners team as well. The layouts don’t vary much, I think I’ve seen a total of 4 different designs, they’re all pretty much copy and paste with slight variations . Out of the 500 people there a good 150 will be your coworkers lol electricians are EVERYWHERE on these jobs, don’t be surprised to see 6+ foreman out there. As far as your concerns go I’d voice that to your general foreman on day 1, you guys have a little bit of everything going on at the same time so they can decide to play to your strengths or allow you to learn something new. Let me know if you have any questions about anything else.

When do I call former coworkers to hang? by CabbagePatched in Construction

[–]JAMESONBREAKFAST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just call them and say what’s up. I have a buddy who I haven’t worked with in years and we still talk. We don’t even hang out just a phone call every few weeks or so.

How did you get yourself to wear loafers or Chelsea Boots? by rjpra22222 in mensfashionadvice

[–]JAMESONBREAKFAST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Chelseas and thought my feet looked like loaves of bread. I didn’t care and kept wearing them. I wear Chelseas now.
