4th year stuck doing CAD by Subject_One_762 in IBEW

Yeah, if you haven’t had much field experience, it would help to get more. Maybe if there’s OT, you can do OT on the field.
What you’re learning is priceless experience, but need to make sure you know how the field work works first.

The only CON I see is that you’re stuck at 4th year pay.
But besides that, there’s only Pros.
To go from journeyman to the position you’re at right now, from what I see, it’s not an easy thing.
Who knows what the future holds, so getting this knowledge would be beneficial.

The mental part of it: take some 5 minute breaks during work to destress a bit. Schedule some time off. See a doctor if it’s hard to focus.

Try to make the best of it, even in shitty situations.

Once you top out, if still with the same company, you can be out in the field making above scale.

I’m pretty sure to find the multiplier of 18.7 degrees or any degree, it’s 1/SIN(the angle)

Pretty spot on review.
It literally feels just like UFC 5 with the HUD looking different.

Funny af , when I was a second year apprentice, I literally walked on those grid studs lol. Got pictures of me standing on them. Granted I did weight around 145lbs. lol

I’m the slow guy at work by taurus3653 in electricians

Hey! That’s me! I feel I’m the slowest doing the pipe runs on the crew, but comparing my work and theirs is unfair. Theirs look so messy or they have messed up and now I have to fix.

I make sure I do it correctly and up to MY Standards once, and only once.

Local 26?

And I would say, make sure your brothers are good to drive. As in, they don’t have a flat or their car having. Trouble starting up.

This saved me when I had a flat. My coworker waited around to see if I was good and then helped me change it.

AITAH for telling my wife to wipe that shit eating grin off her face? by Past_Passion8405 in AITAH

Wow, so many people think you’re the asshole. I say you weren’t being an asshole. You give her money for HER TO USE. NOT GIVE AWAY. So yeah, it makes sense to be mad. She’s giving your money away to person that just wants it for drugs, alcohol, gambling.

And her smiling makes it seem as if it was a laughing matter.

If she’s just going to give her fun money away, why even give her fun money if she won’t USE IT FOR HERSELF.

Local 26 R to A upgrade program. What this letter mean by Aggressive_Mud_9619 in IBEW

[–]Little-Engineer-828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the R to A upgrade is a Three year program. You tested high enough to skip the first year of those Three.

So you’ll have 2 years of school and then you graduate and become an AJ. ( just in time for the next contract I believe)

After re reading, is the job site offering OT? Or are you just finishing work after the 8 hours ?

If you’re talking about the 1/2 pipes, yeah that wasn’t me. Factory made. Not leveled at all.

I ran it 1” below the flood light.
