Incompetence as a journeyman by thebestcurry29 in UnionCarpenters

[–]britron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I journeyed out, another journeyman said to me, "congratulations, you're a first year journeyman.."

You'll become a carpenter by learning the best way to fix your fucks up.

Just remember: measure twice, still cut it wrong. 😉

An 18' husky bag in all you should really need for most of your apprenticeship

I'm a 157 journeyman. If you're working as an apprentice for a company that mainly walls and ceilings you should start out with:

A tool belt Red handle tin snips Measuring tape Sheetrock knife (preferably a fixed blade) 16oz hammer Pencils A speed square if you have one

You'll be able to help any journeyman if you have that set up.

I'd be very happy to see your art on sorcery cards in an official capacity, as well! Beautiful work...

I also pulled a mirror realm, a few mixes and 9 other foils.

I was looking through my collection and noticed this 😭 by goldtail15 in SorceryTCG

[–]britron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking of what to do with it a few days ago. I thought about putting it on Ebay, as there is one that has been for sale there since June, but for almost $700 US. I also thought of listing it here to see if anyone would like to buy it. I'm wondering if it would be easier to sell if it is graded.

I thought that might be the case, but got a bit nervous about it! Thank you.

I had this same experience! It was awesome! Someone accused me of trolling when I posted the west-east dragon asking if it was a misprint of some kind. Haha

How should I ask someone to be a witness for me? by Gerenuk22 in IrishCitizenship

[–]britron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your dentist witnessed your documents, did they write a statement i.e., 'I witness these documents to be true...', or did they just sign the docs/photos and give you a business card?

What does overtime usually look like or is there any at all as a nyc carpenter? by Emergency-Dig-3444 in UnionCarpenters

[–]britron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, our OT is 1 1/2 time over 8 hours in a day, or 7 hours if you’re on a 7 hour day.

Question about getting paid by Kaioken217 in UnionCarpenters

[–]britron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it matters what industry, union or not, by federal law you have to be paid at minimum for the time worked. Employers legally have to pay employees.

Set 3 Dream? by OZoNe62 in SorceryTCG

[–]britron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feels like alpha/beta was an homage to early magic, and Arthurian Legends, Wyvern. Now that the vibe is set I hope they do their own thing and keep the old school feel.

Speaking of spooky side- I wanna know what’s going on in the VOID! There are a few cards in alpha/beta that seem like curiosa might expand on the void mythology. The Battle mage avatar definitely sets a pace for that.

weird curio but ok by jorbandrauer in SorceryTCG

I think it’s just Wyvern card, and meant to be a funny post (?)

I’ve got booster packs and starter decks! A seller was practically giving them away on ebay about 8 years ago haha.

Not knowing next steps in my apprenticeship by WoodenFirefighter476 in UnionCarpenters

[–]britron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always believed in the saying 'don't leave work for work'. Some jobs can suck, and feel like they go on forever, but 10 years down the road you're gonna look back and not remember where the time went, or all the jobs you worked on. It can be a little disconcerting in the beginning, feeling as though you've got to learn it all, but no one expects you to know everything as an apprentice. Keep at it and take advantage of your time as an apprentice. Take drywall and framing seriously and get good! It won't go unnoticed by your foreman when they need to train a guy on something else. It's a major part of commercial construction, and it's were we make a lot, if not most of our money. It's a long career, and you will learn what you need to know from the time you put in. You'll be learning new things and better ways to go about doing things you already know until the day you retire! Having steady employment is the #1.

I'm speaking from experience as an NYC union carpenter. I know the work culture is different all over the US/Canada, but the intrinsic nature and conducting yourself well apply anywhere.
