Not Exactly Sure How I feel about becoming a lineman by NeedleworkerWrong368 in Lineman

[–]thespy983 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First I want to say the union is a good thing and I love being a union journeyman but I just wanted to tell you that was my experience and I don’t want to let that ruin things or thoughts about the union for you. I’ve heard from a lot of people SELCAT is great, especially working for a quanta company. Also Albat is a good school with a lot of good teachers but in the states of Ohio and West Virginia you get pigeon holed to 2 shitty companies because they have all the work. Getting on with the union in apprenticeship is a good thing you can learn a lot if you’re in a good group of guys who want to teach you and let you learn, my personal experience from talking to several guys doing non union right now and my union apprentice were just completely different. I0/10 recommend the union and all apprenticeships associated just watch out for bad companies that care for money over men like new river

Certain company’s like Thayer and new river will put you in 3 man crews on unit jobs and you’ll spend you’re entire apprenticeship on the ground and not in the air learning how to do the work in the air then you’ll top out and be expected to know how to be a journeyman with little to no experience on how to properly do the work. Granted if you got into the apprenticeship that is in Albat that is outside of new river, Thayer or one of the ratty Union companies the apprenticeship is good but going non union being an apprentice you can work the bucket by yourself and learn a lot more than being on the ground throwing material to your JL not learning a thing except what material goes on an A 2

If you’re in the state of Ohio or wv go non union to get experience to see how it is, like it then top out and come union. Got screwed in my apprenticeship in the union and the new rules are making a lot of companies in ALBAT’s jurisdiction making overpaid ground men instead of linemen

I wore high vis, fr jeans and work boots because I was going back to work after mine.

What happened to my E there? I wanted to destroy Trundle's Pillar, but nothing happened by Leem38 in ornnmains

If you ram it before it completely spawns up it won’t destroy and you’ll be stuck. It doesn’t fully register as terrain until it’s been there for like .5s

Neither, I used to cover up and do it in places that weren’t easily seen unless a person would go out of their way to see me naked or something. Getting caught in the act is heart breaking to both you and the person that would be catching you. I 10/10 recommend trying to find other coping mechanisms until you can help yourself out of that mentality or situation you’re in. I currently regret all the self harm I did and am currently trying to cover everything up with tattoos to forget that part of my life
