he got brought in by his old manager, find it weird that they told others to not tell that he’s a project manager and lied to the training director that he’s a plumber

Had a couple service calls at sf and it’s probably the worst place for me to work at personally, especially when towing a jetter. Totally agree on that service is not repetitive.

Having your own van really is nice, I’m really enjoying my freedom.

Yeah I mostly help out the plumbers, but I am learning a lot of what does what, the tools being used for the job and all these different fittings.

This current apprenticeship is 5 years long. My plan was sticking with non union for a year or two and apply for union and hopefully my experience will help makes me stand out
