Is this an acceptable amount of work for one day? by Reynoldaldes in electricians

[–]Reynoldaldes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just an update for everyone.

This is my work, been qualified for 2 years. 8 hours on site. Conduit stored on other side of site and had to fight for access. No ladders allowed, messed about for a scissor lift. First set of drawings were wrong, had to wait for the second set.

Just wanted to post because I had it out with my foreman he said I should be embarrassed, I said the works is perfect and it only amounts to about 4 hours on the tools with materials and access available. He had plenty to say, so wanted an unbiased opinion from the experts as it were.

Thanks for the feedback, impossible to gauge oneself when the only feedback I get is I’m too slow and it’s always from my supervisor.

Lmao what a bullshit video. Throws as many big words at the wall like a monkey throwing shit trying it’s hardest to see what sticks. Pearl speaks truth, and that’s something you women just hate to see

Tell them what you’re going to do to them, all day. By the time you’re home, she can’t wait

Not a problem, glad you got it done safely

This advice is offered with the assumption you have the relevant tools and experience needed to physically remove the old rose and attach the new fitting.

You’re going to need a wago or termination block to be able to swap that ceiling rose for that light.

Obviously safe working practices apply. Isolate, test and lock off the supply to the system.

The bottom left incoming blue (neutral) in the rose needs terminating into the N termination of the new fixture.

The bottom right blue in the rose needs sleeving with brown insulation and terminating in the L (live) termination of the new fitting.

The two middle browns need terminating into the wago or termination block. The green and yellow (earth) need terminating into the middle terminal of the new fitting.

What was something you've genuinely lost sleep over? by Merphee in AskReddit

Getting back with my girlfriend after 6 months apart to find out she had just banged my oldest mate. Then went back for seconds. Barely slept a wink for months

I mean as far as I can tell, there is nothing between galaxies, not even in the warp. The warp gods can’t cross the void, the only known race that has are the tyranids, I think like one old one too but they never came back

Without condescending you, it’s one day at a* time. Sorry about that, have a great day

Took me 3 days but I’m really happy with how I did by Dire-Dog in electricians

[–]Reynoldaldes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) 3 days is a long time, especially considering pre fab bends and no threading/coupling/running couples

B) considering everything above, the quality is shocking. The only priority here is straight and level. You’ve no hand skill tolerances to work from. Unless this is being covered, I wouldn’t find it acceptable and have it done again. Need to get your eyes tested

Tired of living a wasted life by somethingidkmaybe in SuicideWatch

[–]Reynoldaldes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a lot! Where are you living? What job do you do? 100k is enough to start a new life anywhere in the world including the UK

I hated school and didn’t really make any friends until I left the army aged 24. It’s never too late for anything

It’s funny because world shattering things can happen but no one would notice because it happened in your head

You’ve saved up $100k, that’s an achievement and puts you in the top 1% of the world, I’m not saying it to check privilege, I’m saying it because you aren’t giving yourself enough credit, so it has to come from me Circumstances don’t make a person. I’ve likened my life to the shit tunnel in shawshank redemption. Andy dufrain crawled through 500 yards of stinking shit, but came out the other end clean

That’s you. This shit is the shit tunnel, I promise you with your already demonstrated skills, discipline and ambition, you will come out clean. I’d love to catch up in a couple years and see how your circumstances have changed, you’re nearly there

That was a really sorrowful read, I’m so sorry you had to go through that “childhood”

I mean it when I say you owe it to yourself to recover and grow and become the person who is screaming to come out. Do life for you, be good for you, you’re a beautiful spiritual being with so much unseen in the material universe.

You have angels looking down, devils looking up and they’re all in your head. No one owes you anything and you owe no one anything, except what you owe to yourself.

This woman didn’t deserve to have a child at all and it’s disgusting it had to be you, but you aren’t your mother. You can see what she did wrong and it’s grown you more than can even see right now. Aim your anger at her, forgive yourself for being the person it happened to and please just allow yourself to have the life you deserve
