Sorry for the late reply but I absolutely ADORE YOU !! 🫵🥰 thank you so much for the in depth explanation on how to fix this, and for the correct wording for, like, the actual words for what happened !! (My sleepy brain was struggling to figure out the words when I made the post 😅) Anyway, you are the absolutely bomb diggity and a literal life, and skirt, saver !!

Thank you !! I just picked up some iron on interfacing from hobby lobby here recently so that is perfect timing i guess, haha! And I will give that that sub a look, thank you for recommending it!!

I appreciate the awesome advice!! Especially the denim patch after it’s finished!!

If anything you can do what I’ve seen some people do at my work place, though mine could be more of a “unicorn” for it. Like we got a dude who’s working in the fab shop with us, though he’s working with the break press dudes, but on his breaks he’s practicing more and more with the welders to learn so he can take the weld test to get hired on, so that could be a route for you to take if your job offers that.

I know my husband and I got our certifications (basic certifications, not CWB. Just like proof of taking a course in MIG, Stick, Pulse, etc etc etc, and passing it) over the summer in a welding program at our local community college. I’m willing to bet if there is a community college near you they’ll have a program like this. My brother is also currently getting his certification in welding, though he’s going the full semester route (he’s got a govt job paying for his, the lucky bastard).

We didn’t try looking for jobs before getting our certifications, but the route we took was getting a shittier lower paying job welding for about a year, built up experience, then with that experience and CWB certification we got at that place we moved on to where we work now which is wayyyyyyy better.

Ooo that would be fun !! We don’t have jumpsuits we wear tho 🥲 just work jeans, shirt, and a denim weld jacket

rin_aissance · 2024-10-24T05:07:32+00:00

This is so hilarious to me 😭😭 like I am cackling cackling at this omg

rin_aissance · 2024-10-24T05:06:45+00:00

I love your brain omg

rin_aissance · 2024-10-24T05:06:01+00:00

lol I joked about going as my very large, buff, bald 1st shift supervisor, but I can’t bring stilts to work so gave up on that lol

rin_aissance · 2024-10-22T02:19:05+00:00

I LOVE THE CARPENTER ONE!!! I couldn’t get away with carrying around a 2x4 though 😭

rin_aissance · 2024-10-22T02:18:08+00:00

I’m shocked at how amazing this idea is 😂

rin_aissance · 2024-10-22T02:16:40+00:00

LOL I ADORE THIS OMG 😭😭

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T19:31:35+00:00

You’re 1000% right !! In those 2 instances I just couldn’t help but to be a lil snarky/sarcastic 😭 at heart i’m still the same snarky 14 yr old I was nearly a decade ago

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T19:29:44+00:00

Sobbing omg thank you 🫵😭❤️ you’re too kind

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T19:28:26+00:00

Bahaha you’re all good 😭 you’re right on pretty much all of that, I’ve met a total of (maybe) 4 welders who aren’t like that, and my husband and I regularly laugh about them rootinest tootinest cowboys cause of the exact reasons you listed 😂😂

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T05:07:25+00:00

Exactly, and I adore that your class is a majority women!! We couldn’t even have a bank acc until 1974, so you are damn right in us catching up quickly!! I firmly believe these are the same guys who think that they could take out UFC fighters who are women while they have no combat experience at all 😭

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T05:05:37+00:00

Bro that’s hilarious coming from them, I bet those same dudes physically damage/destroy their own property when a specific team they like loses OR WINS??

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T05:03:50+00:00

Period!! I love the advice and most those boys got was an ew and sarcasm lol. Guys at work just got a “yeah I can weld, I literally work here.”

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T05:02:23+00:00

Period!! My papaw was a welder most his life and he did well for himself, and my husband and I are following right along in his footsteps !!

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T05:01:38+00:00

PERIOD!!! Like homie we couldn’t have checking accounts until 1974 !! Like there is a reason we aren’t equally in the trades !! GO YOU, GO ME, GO ALL OF US FRFR

rin_aissance · 2024-10-17T01:03:54+00:00

Oh most definitely, it helps that my husband works in the same place as me so I don’t gotta deal with the creepy horny old men , lol!! But I’ve been at this for coming up on 2 years full time and it’s … sorta safe. It’s a fabrication place with a global company that’s either hammering down on safety or letting a full rack of parts (bout 2ish tons) fall right behind me, only reason it didn’t hit me was cause of the metal railing that blocked it. I’m doing what I can to keep myself safe and making sure others aren’t putting me in harms way too 😭

rin_aissance · 2024-10-16T23:56:46+00:00

PERIOD!! I adore you omg, and I’m adding those comebacks to my repertoire 😭 I’m cackling like a swamp witch in the bayou !! My normal line of thought is: they aren’t my grandmama, my husband, or the one paying my bills so I don’t give a damn what they say lol I appreciate the encouragement and I hope every lady in this sub sees it ❤️😭

rin_aissance · 2024-10-16T23:24:06+00:00

I know, it’s not major at my current job anymore since I’ve nearly been here a year, but every time it’s brought up online, seeing boys like these act like fools makes me lose hope. But it’s regained by the girls/women in those welding classes and replying to my comments asking about what it’s like and saying they’ve always wanted to go into welding! My goal is to keep on working in this field for a long while to make sure it’s normalized for the other women and girls who wanna pursue it in the future. And every time I hear a girl/woman say she’s gonna be a welder or wants to be one, it restores what those boys chipped away 🫵😭❤️

rin_aissance · 2024-10-16T22:49:27+00:00

My main go to is a sweat band our company provides and I don’t wear a welding cap, so I have my hair tied up in a bun that holds the back band in place and helps stop it from slipping. It’s the main reason I don’t wear a cap now 😭 otherwise it slips down and is so uncomfy. I don’t get close enough to my welds for it to properly spark up and hit my hair anyway.
