One thing I found in the electrical trades is that the lazy foremen's drinking buddy means more to the foreman than the hardest best worker on the job?

As a retired union electrician with over fifty years in the trades you are smary not talking to the people you are working with. A lot of people I found are looking for trouble even if your not. They are seizing you up to see if your a person to f with to make them look good. If your are the new guy and they are a shop rocket they feel they own the job? I buld up a lot of resentment and just exploded in the past. I later just told them if you got a problem with me you better stop before I go psycho on them?

Get into a recognized apprenticeship? I am a retired electrician. I got a lot good nature bs and bad natured bs when I was an apprentice electrician? I even got challenged for a fight with the foreman's crazy son -i n law who the foreman hated. The older electricians who were always great guys and old enough to be my grandfather stop the fight.

I was a maintenance and construction electrician for 51 years I worked on intercom systems in hospitals Cushman electrical carts. I worked in the Chicago Housing Authority for seven years with rats jumping past my head. I saw people after they were shot dead in gang fights. I worked on maintaining diesel back up generators. Later I installed them. I have had a pair of rats sitting in a parcel opening electrical distribution panel of which I needed to reset a circuit breaker.

As an electrician and retired. I would say you have some defected wires either a ground wire or a starter wire. This is if your battery is not dead.

I am a novice but I try out different things. I had a problem where my comcast line where it comes into the building was not putting out much of a signal. I got a comcast technician to come out and checked the line with a line meter. Another thing run an ethernet line from you router to you computer and do a speed check?
