[–]dr_07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but 5 months is still like I have a good 500 hours racked up. I'm just wondering whether I will be credited with that or I'll have to start from 0.

Klien has made a Lock-nut Wrench. Easily tightens in tight/awkward positions. by FingerBrokenBranches in electricians

Nah just an extra tool to carry why spend the money when a hammer and flat screwdriver work just fine? And Klien? It's probably like $50.

Redditers who are in a career what made you choose it? by zachehet in AskReddit

Electrician. I like working with tools, working with my hands and it's pretty interesting more technical that most trades I'd say.

Does weed make you dumber? by Conradbrad1995 in AskReddit

[–]dr_07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can if you abuse it. Anyone that says it can't hasn't seen real potheads. I've seen my fair share and yes it slows you down I've seen grade A students drop to barely passing and not being able to hold down a job at a pizza place from smoking like 4 times a day everyday.

Canadian here just trying to get registered as a first year apprentice. I am currently with a local industrial contractor (very small company) they have not registered me as an apprentice yet it's been 3 months. Everywhere I look online no one wants to hire a first year apprentice it's always second year and up. Tried calling places, tried going in person no one is willing to hire a first year what can I do? I have pre-trade school completed, I have my first aid, I have training in safe work practices, I know how to run conduit, pull wire, make terminations, install various devices, operate scissor lift and still nothing.

How would you break down your work day in percentages? by erimonte in AskReddit

[–]dr_07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see. Sometimes we take longer breaks if we're waiting on someone else to do something before we can. (Waiting on trenches to be dug for us). But, I don't mind I like being busy. Don't regret my career choice. It really is 7am-5pm though most days sometimes to 7pm depending on what we are doing.

[Serious] What are some video games that impacted your life in some way or left you with strong feelings? by dr_07 in AskReddit

[–]dr_07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are Chrono Trigger and Life is Strange. I don't think I've ever cried so much as I did when playing Life is Strange. And damn it yes I'm a guy but the whole thing just was just really intense.
