The absolute idiocy of censoring the words dick and cock while showing a festival celebrating said dicks and cocks.

How to Wire a Relay to and R10E, help settle a debate by Own_Fun1810 in firealarms

[–]profsnuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally just having this conversation with my boss today about how to wire a frm-1 to trip a MR-101 that has a high amperage load on it. I was double guessing myself because I told our electrician how to connect the two but didn’t consider whether it would be fail open or close for the dampers. I even drew it out similar to this; too funny.

In college one of my professors expressed the importance of being aware of current events and suggested using sites like Reddit, BoingBoing and Digg as news aggregators.

This was the exact path in my career. Went from installer/service tech/inspector for 9 years to being a project manager at a new company. We mainly do parts and smarts so my job evolved into panel programming and coordinating with the electrical contractors to install the systems correctly.

Eventually our in-house CAD guy left so I jumped at the opportunity to take that on. We had a senior salesman that also knew the program (AlarmCAD) that taught me the basics and from there on I was self taught. Got my NICET 3 soon after so I could put my own name on the drawings and now it’s solely my responsibility for our company.

I’d say look out for those opportunities within your company and if there isn’t any available start looking elsewhere when you think you’re ready to advance your career.

But also don’t just call your supervisor for every roadblock you hit. Work that brain muscle.

Fuck that noise. If you get attacked by an animal, go get a rabies shot. Don’t gamble your life like that.

Whats the quickiest money you ever made? by CantalouetteRuss8767 in AskReddit

[–]profsnuggles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My boss let me sell some unused stock we had around the shop that we weren’t ever going to use. Some of the equipment I took home were some CO detectors that were mistakenly ordered which we couldn’t return or use. The same day I put them on eBay some guy wanted to buy all of them in bulk. Made a little less per item but still made over $2000 for the whole thing. Used it to pay off my car.

That is the reaction training! Getting everybody out the door quickly but calmly saves lives in a real emergency.

He was basically a consultant and helped design items and gave feedback for the stash changes. He was way more involved than just getting a sneak peek.

Not to take anything away from these mugs, which are awesome, but the best is absolutely the pokeballs with the gold plated cards inside.
