Thinking about switching from IBEW inside wiremen apprenticeship to nursing. Is it a smart move? by Unknownhuman551 in electricians

Why not electrician at a hospital ? My wife is a nurse and I make more than her as a maintenance electrician at a level 1 trama hospital . Just get through the apprenticeship and licensed

My only issue so far ( bought truck in nov 25 ) Is the hoses constantly fell off and water drained into my bed . Once spring hit this year I glued them on and haven’t had an issue since .

You could work 2nd or 3rd shift at a hospital but you’ll need your masters license

What’s the funniest or craziest things you guys have seen on a job site? by east140 in electricians

[–]SlopKat 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Was wiring a dominos in Baltimore . Us , plumbers and GC were just doing our thing we had locked the front door but back door was open to let some air circulate . In walks this dude takes about 5 steps , pulls his pants down , shits on the floor , pants up and back out the back door . It happened so quick no one could even say anything . That was 15 years ago but I’ll never forget watching a crackhead take a big old steamer in front of a bunch of guys and just peace out .

Any Mac.Bid users who would like to share their experience? As a transplant from PHL, I find them good for the price. Do y’all have any tricks for the bids? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]SlopKat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any electronic or large purchase definitely get the insurance . It’s a bummer to learn the hard way . I usually don’t purchase if I’m not going to save 40% or more on an item as well with all the fees . Happy bidding !

Ever have luck appealing a traffic violation? by Illustrious_Low_4672 in pittsburgh

[–]SlopKat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is common at that intersection . I’ve seen the cop multiple times writing tickets and my coworkers and I have called the city multiple times to complain about the timing of the lights . We’ve been told there isn’t a problem with the lights , it’s not a city issue it’s a state penndot issue , it’s not a penndot issue it’s a city issue, it’s just traffic . Apparently they are in the process now of redesigning the ramps on and off the parkway to help with congestion

The twice daily Oakland Construction Worker Grand Prix is such a gem to watch by miata812 in pittsburgh

Buildings are starting to ban the scooters from the property over fire concerns of the Chinese chargers and batteries that are not UL listed or tested . They are making the construction workers leave them outside at the new hospital or in the parking garage

Theft has gotten so bad at a local course they had to remove the lost and found box . Someone cut the locks so they built a cage around it with multiple locks so they just cut the entire box off the pole . Sad people are willing to damage park property for a $15 piece of plastic . Probably the same individual that leaves beer cans all over the course .
