Yeah arc flash rated smok suit. Only really for opening/closing discs and CBs in the rack. I just wear a normal FR long sleeve and pants otherwise
Have u worked in substations before?
I have a buddy who works for MWD. How long have you been an electrician? Union or non-union?
i finished the program 2 years ago. i'm union (IBEW) but i'm not really an electrician/wireman. i kinda wish i was though because it's less responsibility and i like hands on mechanical stuff but at the same time i hate being out in the sun all day breaking my back. i was a groundman for lineman for about 8 months since i thought i wanted to be a lineman at first. there was some good days but overall that shit sucked for a lot of reasons. it's exhausting work most of the time and pretty dangerous as well, not to mention the shitty personalities/work culture. i can't even count how many times i had journeymen cuss me out throwing shit, acting like little kids on a heated temper tantrum. that type of work is only legit if you can promote super quick into some type of management/supervisor position. not even worth the time it takes to get there. i want to be in good physical health when i'm like 50 and still be able to go skiing and shit without walking with a limp.
i work for LADWP btw (anybody reading this can dox me idc lol)
how does your homie like MWD? i'm honestly not really familiar with them. are they private or state? i just know they deal with the aqueduct and basically all the water in socal that's not LADWP lol. LA is pretty unique i guess that just 1 utility handles all the water and power. other cities have private utilities for power and different ones for water etc.
@Jay out here they had some schools open throughout the whole lockdown so kids could get their lunch/breakfast. it was free for everyone, no questions asked.
