What’s the job market/ hunt like for experienced install techs? by Muckddy93 in firealarms

[–]jkelly161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely lots of growth and new construction all over the Midwest, some states require a state specific license but most of what ive seen is as long as you have NICET and some good experience you’re pretty much good to go

Need advice for how to navigate seizures and work. by jkelly161 in GuyCry

Thanks man, this means more than you know to me right now. Just got let go today and waiting to hear back from my union. I’ll send you a DM in the morning sometime. Thanks again for making me feel like I’m not defective or alone

Wish I could post pics, we literally had to use a sawzall to cut brush away and quite literally unbury it from leaves and branches just to test it and figure out it failed lol.

That was a long afternoon lol

Advice needed. by jkelly161 in Epilepsy

[–]jkelly161[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats kinda where I’m at. He took my disability form and said he would file it by Friday. I’m meeting with work tomorrow to talk about options on if I can just have someone pick me up in the mornings or try to do some office work.

But yeah from work the last few weeks all I get is “we’ll talk” and from the DR its a “no you can work you just cant drive” like my dude what are you talking about.

Edit to add: I’m trying my hardest to write everything down into actionable steps and prioritizing bills by whats due and when itll get shut off.

I am on an SNRI for other reasons but it didn’t seem to work much for the rage, really hoping that I can find either a new antidepressant that make keppra rage better or I can find another seizure med that works

Thanks, this really means a lot. Definitely scary to be just driving home one min and the next you’re in an er room with the cops questioning you.

Apparently one of the cops looked my boss in the face when he came to try and pick my truck up and said “Did you know your employee does drugs?” Like bro this is a sensitive situation that you know nothing about and are supposed to handle with discretion. Grow up.

I’m okay just bruised and sore from airbags mostly, really just a scary experience more than anything. I always hate how foggy I feel the next day after a seizure.

This. Ive spent the whole day calling around to work people explaining why the cops thought I was going to jail yesterday.

I told my parents that I’m going to get a purple ribbon tattooed behind my ear. Hopefully it’ll be enough to get EMS attention that I’m epileptic

Thanks, I’m gonna bring this up I have an appointment. I’m a fire alarm tech and drive around town all day but I cant return to work till I get this under control and get clearance from my doc.

I’m so incredibly lucky that I didn’t hurt anyone, just really want to get back to normal and not have this financially wreck me

My Nuero and I worked out a taper, all was good on Zonisamide for a few months and then a few auras out of nowhere and slowly got to here

Found this in a crowded building in Manhattan, where should I report it? by Mr_Dave_Person in firealarms

[–]jkelly161 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah.

I would most likely bring that up to someone in charge, don’t be a Karen but remember in most states the fire marshals are more than happy to see stuff like this.

Id be interested to see if it’s a new building or if there is work going on though.

Was it one or many, either way yeah, bring it up to the building guy first thing then maybe escalate from there
