Steven Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 So, it's been about 8 1/2 months since I posted, so I figured I'd check in since I have some free time. Things have been crazy here, so I'll give a bit of a run-down. You may remember that before I left, I had recently broken things off with my fiance after the great betrayal from her. That put me into a funk for a while but I'm over that now. I was in college and after doing that for a while I decided it was painfully boring (not just the school part, but what I was studying as well), so I pulled back and sought out another path. I went back to what I always liked since I was a kid- construction. I think I may have been the first person in school history to drop out after 3 consecutive quarters on the Dean's List. But, this time, instead of working for some little mom and pop operation, I put my politics aside and joined the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and I'm currently going through the apprenticeship program. I'm glad I made this move. I have a secure future and I enjoy the work. I spent 3 months working at the Emory Yerkes Primate Research Center on a new Administration and Veterinary Medicine building, Which, if you know me, made me happy because everyday I got to see monkeys. But starting tomorrow I move over to The Center for Disease Control at Emory University. I went by there today to make sure I know exactly where it is and I'll be working on a nice big 10 story building with a beautiful view of Atlanta's skyline. I can't wait. I haven't had much time for hunting this year, but I hope to get out soon. I see some old familiar faces that had been MIA, most notably my old pal GW. Welcome back, Gary. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have about 5000 old posts to dig through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Steven, glad to see you are back! I think that is a smart move on your part to work as an electrician. Fairly clean work and you will be kept busy, especially working on the commercial side of things! Wishing you nothing but the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkV Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Steven I work as a instrument electrician and have for almost 30 years. I too was bored to death with college and dropped it as well. I have never looked back! A good skilled trade cannot be beat in my opinion! I can get a job almost anywhere across the USA! Have fun, Kirk:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant-KS Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Welcome back ol' buddy! I've been wondering where you've been! Glad to see you at least pop your head in, and that you're doing something that you enjoy! I don't care who you are, I'd take a poor paying job that I love WAY before making a killing doing something that I hate. Good luck, and God bless!
