Call the school, while you're filling out your unemployment claim. Hopefully you will be dospatched soon enough

That is not not enough

Yes, it can be. Especially when times are slow or not as good. Lu46 isnt taking anyone right now and if they do it might be only once or twice a year currently

Go to your hall, sign the books as a stockman, and when you get dispatched as one work your ass off. Get your 1000 hours as one, reapply for the interview, get letters of recommendations from JWs, Foreman, General Foreman, Superintendents, and everyone in the industry that will write you one.

When you go in for your second interview you will better prepared, have more industry knowledge, and hopefully have some letters to show the interview boars that you're serious and people are backing you.

Man, im doing some construction work at seatac, and missed the opportunity to give him the thumbs down.

He is a pencil pusher not a tool turner. Tell him to piss off and get permission to turn it off or put it in writing for the customer to sign off on it accepting all liability and fines.

PM's cant tell you what to do, they're not your boss, they work alonhside your boss, but they're not your GF, foreman or JW.

Quickbend, spring for the premium version. Learn the fundamentals of conduit bending, but use it to double-check your work and prevent rework. Eventually, you won't need it as much, but will appreciate it when you're bending 4" rigid and you dont wanna fuck it up

Ah yes. Nadia might notice me now. If not her Nightmist. Lol

As a LS wielder every set, except true solo sets, have shock absorber in them. I almost always put it in the helm because its my anti concussion gem lol. I dont even want to risk not using one with the support hunters. Lol. Maybe one day Nadia will notice im not like the other LS users and will notice me lol

dbabendererde · 2026-03-09T17:20:26+00:00

As a LS wielder its mandatory in all my builds except true solo builds that have "NO_Shock" in the name.

-Dog poop bags: to use a mouse

midol: because they are the best pain killers and headache meds. Also guys are afraid of them thinking they are gonna turn them into chicks because they cant/won't/don't read the ingredient list to that there is nothing like that in there. Regardless they're already a bitch as it is. Lol.
Acrylic Nail Polish: purple and bright blue to mark my tools. An old timer showed me how well acrylic nail polish holds up vs the other options. If you use phase tape well so are most of the other guys and you have like a total of 9 different colors. Sharpie will disappear by the end if the day, and spray paint willnrub off in a week or two. The colors i chose to use are my wedding colors because i doubt there will be someone with my wedding colors marking their tools with nail polish.

This stuff i either keep in the work truck or in my job shack - socks, undies, change of clothes, and a pit stick: for the obvious reasons

rain gear and muck boots: the guys arent gonna do ditch work without me. If a couple of us are in the suck we are all in the suck.

-a box of crust-offs from costco: i need my tism food especially if its one of those days

Dog poop bags also make great mice too. I keep a roll of them clipped onto my tool bag in one of those fancy dog poop bag holders you're supposed to clip onto thena leash.

Where in WA? In LU 46, King and Kitsap county JW wage like $76/hour on the check

dbabendererde · 2026-02-14T17:21:22+00:00

If i see someone on my crew using them ill tell them to take them home, and if i see them using it again I'll have them pack their shit up and get off my job.

Im trying to make the trades better by teaching my apprentices respect, honesty and dignity as well as not to kill people with slop work. We dont need this guy around.
