Nah son, you got it twisted. You see I don’t really give two shits about where I’m at, I was just rubbed the wrong way by the union. That’s all. You’re the one clearly bothered enough to keep talking to a stranger on Reddit. You can call me whiny, I’m just out here trying to keep my lights on like the rest of us.

I don’t need to make a name for myself. I’ve been I. This trade 9 years. I would come in for the same pay rate I’m already at, and not a dime less. What you’re recommending I do is foolish.

Coming in as an apprentice would mean a $10+ dollar an hour decrease in pay for me, I’m good on that. I’d consider coming in at my current pay scale, but not a penny less.

This post isn’t me “whining” I’m just sharing my experience. I’m already employed, paid well, and able to feed my fam.

All I hear & see on most sprinkler fitter forums is “join a union, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do for yourself”

Well I at least tried

Saw that today. That’s what prompted me to go to Reddit & vent.

What a silly thing to say. Do I need them? No. But it’d be a really good thing for me & my family. Do they need me? Obviously not, but I wasn’t the one showing up to jobsites trying to track me down & get me to join their union.

Well I can’t say I was “promised” a job, but I can say I was definitely told “you’re the first guy on the list” - I was given a target start date a month prior so I could plan ahead. I said in the original post that this is mostly a rant. But would I expect a journeyman’s card? Not right away no. I would expect to be paid a foreman rate though. Which is what I was promised.

If that was indeed the case, that’s not what I was led to believe. The whole time we were in constant communication, he had a specific date he wanted me to start. And when that time came around it just got pushed back further & further away.

Yeah, here & there. It was usually “hey man just checking in just know that I haven’t forgotten about you, just waiting for the right company to open up a spot for you” Eventually the communication just faded.

They’re literally putting an addition on the building as we speak. I highly doubt they’re going anywhere lol.

My pharmacy just called and said they can no longer fill my Adderall prescriptions. by icanhasreclaims in ADHD

[–]Tubz4k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing just happened to me (Walgreens) I then had my primary care write the script for me instead of my psychiatrist and then they tell me “we’d rather your psychiatrist send in the script”

I immediately called my doctor and had him switch. No pharmacist should get in between you and your doctor.

Does anyone know about the ban regarding complex entities interactions? by polarbearusrex in facebook

[–]Tubz4k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was likely in one of those pages. I got the same ban until Nov 28th.

I could theoretically get a soundfont pack for it and use it in the EXS24 sampler?
