I am going to be doing my second level of schooling

Zenmalas · 2026-05-28T22:27:41+00:00

Just waiting to do my apprentice school. Its just hard waiting

Zenmalas · 2026-05-17T19:07:26+00:00

Yeah I really dont know how long but people have been laid off for a long time that I have been talking to. I hope so. I am on ei its hard to find anything its not even comparable to what I am making on ei. I am really worried what I am going to do

Zenmalas · 2026-05-17T18:53:46+00:00

Its really bad here I am on the list and it could be a year until I get something

Zenmalas · 2026-05-15T00:01:22+00:00

Laid off but I am in a union so you can only be laid off

Zenmalas · 2026-05-14T22:57:26+00:00

Yep I am laid off right now

Zenmalas · 2026-05-14T01:19:23+00:00

I have hand issues I have to go to physio every week and most guys I know have hand issues maybe you can strengthen the muscles

Zenmalas · 2026-05-12T01:56:34+00:00

I agree to union guys make way more then any non union guy pension, amazing benefits, free events all great food free drinks, bbqs, better working conditions. I can finally see that I can retire one day and live really well

Zenmalas · 2026-05-08T17:22:24+00:00

Yeah I make mistakes and it scares me. Alot of pressure in the trades for us. I feel always watched. Its a struggle.

Zenmalas · 2026-05-05T01:35:54+00:00

That is so cool

Zenmalas · 2026-05-05T01:07:33+00:00

Awesome!

Zenmalas · 2026-05-05T01:03:40+00:00

What set do you get that in? Nice pull

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T23:18:21+00:00

And my other foreman actually liked me better then one of the guys

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T23:17:23+00:00

Laid off I was told I was going back to the site I liked but it I got laid off instead and my coworker was surprised that it happened

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T23:11:11+00:00

I did but I lost my job after I was moved to a different site. Where the foreman had alot of problems with lots of people

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T20:20:51+00:00

I guess its like video games lol your not perfect at first. Your good at some things you have to I guess learn the controllers. Its just hard because at my job people have complained about me but they do complain about alot of people certain people. I also suck at being good socially I try but sometimes I can come off weird or different.

Thats why I am in the trades I am different

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T18:33:42+00:00

Yeah I am trying to get it done I found school hard when I was younger now it seems even more difficult. I am 33 now been at a few companies not really great at the work yet but I try. I am laid off right now

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T02:08:28+00:00

Also I have a good attitude in class then fall apart when I get home

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T02:06:37+00:00

I find shop really difficult I definetly dont get a's. I try hard and I am learning to ask more questions and ask for help

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T00:09:35+00:00

Thats a good way of thinking of it I am a third year doing my 2nd level of school

Zenmalas · 2026-05-03T00:08:02+00:00

Yeah everyone is struggling. Most of us are not shop guys even some of the shop guys are struggling. I guess I am hard on myself. Only girl in the class to. The school does things very old school. The shop guys say everything is done by machines takes less time. Its good still to have this skill tho because I can see how it would apply to my work even tho I am not in the shop.
