i have not generally liked moderators on this site and that is a reason i have stayed away for most of the time i have been a member. but in this case i have to say
EXCELLENT MODERATING!!!!
besides, where else can a po 'letrician go to talk to other 'lectrodes?
$32.50 was IBEW wages about four years ago when last i worked for them jerks. now it's up a couple more bucks.
in other words, HELL YEAH, I WOULD WORK FOR THAT!!! anything more than that for your rank and file j-men and i think you would be working in new york city or NUTS. i am next to the seattle local, the local there is about one dollar an hour more, and i thought it was one of the highest rates in the country, i am probably wrong, tho.
looking at posts of people doing well seemed at first the south @ atlanta was a great place to be. i cant wonder what this oil spill will do to work, when all the rough necks are looking for work. but alot of guys in the same area seem to be as bad off as me.
mass and conn seem to be busy too. but i am here. i am not about to go looking in dubai as i heard their market has totally and completely crashed. isnt that the place that built all those islands out into the sea, there is nothing selling there and buildings have been stopped in their tracks if that is the place i saw on tv about a year ago.
i got two jobs since this post, small crap that will pay my phone bill, and a panel change down payment. still waiting to start a house i was spozed to start may 1st, too. (just gimmie a down, dammit!!) i need money for everything, when i do start that damned job i will have to pay not one, but TWO mortgage payments with it. i have told all credit card companies they are LAST on my list, right after beer money. what do i care if i owe them x amount of $$ or x plus their late charges when i go bankrupt anyway? all my cards are personal, so i can go bk and still stay in biz.
well good luck to all y'all in the same boat as me. you have my sympathys. i owe, i owe so off to work i go. this is definitely gonna get worse before it gets better imho!!! i would ask my old boss in jersey for work but wifie has too many kids around here to leave. crap.
