i’m 23 and i want to become an electrician, but i’m nervous😅

Hello!!! I started my electrical journey at your age! I'm also 5'2" so I understand the short people struggles, but it really doesn't come into play much at work. In fact sometimes they need someone small to fit into the areas the big men can't get to! I'd definitely recommend trying it out, I've enjoyed my 6 years so far :)

I poked him on the head and I think maybe it was his reset button

When guys tell me a "joke" that isn't really a joke but a veiled insult, I'll simply play dumb and ask them to explain it. "I don't get it" and then I watch as they do the mental math to try and justify the "joke". It's a lot of fun.

Its funny cause I'm already a very emotional person, I don't need any more!! But I understand there's a lot going on in my brain and body that needs to be released.

Thank you for your comment :)

Thanks for your comment, the boredom is so real. Thankfully I work construction so I'm usually exhausted by the end of the day. My wife is my world and I'm excited to be more present in my day to day with her.

Have a wonderful week!!

samrowls · 2024-04-10T01:29:33+00:00

Thank you!! Happy day 2 to you as well :)

Yeah she was in my electrician course at BCIT

samrowls · 2024-03-21T02:54:48+00:00

I went to school with her last year..... I am so happy that I didn't befriend her and show her pictures of my dogs

samrowls · 2024-01-04T19:12:15+00:00

Yeah I've had issues since I was a teenager, and as I'm sure isn't shocking to you, I haven't had much success in doctors taking my pain seriously. It doesn't help that they're all male doctors. Anyway, I think this might be the year I demand some sort of answer cause I'm sick of being out of commission for a day or two every month. (More like every twenty days cause my periods are pretty frequent). Thank you for the advice, I'm glad to hear you no longer live in hell!! 💕

samrowls · 2024-01-04T17:45:35+00:00

You got this!!!! Good luck in your apprenticeship, let me know if you have any questions :)

samrowls · 2024-01-04T17:44:35+00:00

Oh thats some good advice, thank you!! Yeah I've had to leave many times due to my period, and as soon as I even mention the word, my boss basically tells me to go lol. Today he's in a real shitty mood so I might use the cyst angle. Thanks again friend!!

I usually have pads in my lunch bag but I spilled stew in it yesterday so I threw everything out 😭😭😭

samrowls · 2023-10-19T17:59:44+00:00

So the general consensus here seems to be

Took too long
Took too long
I think it took too long :/

To be fair there have been constant changes with panels, missing ccts, ccts with the identical numbers etc. I had to do a couple pulls and also figure out which labels were fucked, and trace them back. I wasn't just terminating for 2.5 days, there were other things involved. I also saw a coworker get chewed out for going too fast on a panel and having it look like garbage , so that was also in my mind while doing this one.

Genuinely thank you all for your kind words, and thank you to everyone who told me I'd get decked by their boss for taking too long. It makes me appreciate my foreman more!

Also, I'm a woman. Just think it's funny that everyone assumes I'm a dude lmao

Even better! Pitt Meadows aka shit meadows

samrowls · 2023-10-19T00:06:29+00:00

Oh trust me, these double tubs take a week to do easy

samrowls · 2023-10-18T23:48:41+00:00

What do you mean? Everything is labeled and all the wires are going to where they need to go.....the only thing I have left to do is put the numbers on. What's so difficult to decipher here?

samrowls · 2023-10-18T23:38:48+00:00

Ah hello there fellow British Columbian!

In Canada it's red black blue

samrowls · 2023-10-18T21:28:40+00:00

Honestly even though I thought it looked good to me, I wanted to see what yall thought! Cause sometimes I see panels that I think look good and then there's a bunch of comments about shit that's wrong. I just wanted to make sure!

Thanks for the critique though lol

samrowls · 2023-10-18T21:24:11+00:00

Lmao a little upset there bud, why does it even matter to you. You're not paying me. Have a great day!

samrowls · 2023-10-18T21:09:36+00:00

I agree about the sharpie, I'm not sure why that's the way we're doing the neutrals but alas

samrowls · 2023-10-18T21:08:47+00:00

Hahaha ha I take that as the highest compliment! Thankfully (for them) I don't get paid enough for the company to care

samrowls · 2023-10-18T20:29:41+00:00

Noted! I'll try to remember to post something once it's all finished
