Of course properly implementing that solution comes with a whole suite of additional responsibilities and definitely isn't for everyone.

GM/A.NIt's been a little while since I've posted and since I've been so busy, I haven't even had time to lurk. I hope all is well on the interwebs.
My grad school apps are due on Feb. 1st so I've been working on those. Hopefully I can get accepted and start working towards my graduate degree this fall. That means one more crazy summer and then I need to grow up and get my shit together.....kidding.
It's 15 degrees in Oh High Ya today and that makes me really miss summer. How long before summer tour starts??

I haven't gone more than three or four days without shaving since I started growing facial hair. I'm curious if I can grow a decent beard (probably not) but I don't know if I can deal with looking like a lazy slob while it fills in. I need a couple of months away from daily activities where I'm judged on my appearance.

Afternoon, netters. First day back at work after my winter break. I got sent to a new job......one where I had no idea what the conditions were. Was I going to be outside? inside? inside with no heat? To cover all of my bases, i dressed extremely warm with lots of layers. You can always take layers off, but you cant pull layers out of thin air.
So of course, my first assignment is a little bit of lighting in a steam room. Gotta run the pipe, mount the fixtures, pull the wire, splice the wire, etc, etc. Of course its 9000 degrees in this steam room. By 9 AM i was sweating my ass off.
So what do i do? I start taking off layers. I took everything off but one T-shirt (yes, my pants were still on). So now im a little bit cooler, but still sweating my ass off. No problem...it comes with the territory. Besides, I like to sweat. Its good for you.
Anyway....im mounting fixtures in the ceiling and its hotter than hell up there. It must be 40 degrees hotter on the top of the ladder than it is on the bottom of the ladder. Thats because the ceiling is littered with steam pipes. Theyre everywhere and theyre also in my way. I had to make a splice and the only way i could reach the splice box was if I set my ladder up in between two of the pipes. At this point, all I want to do is get done and get the hell out of this room. my brain is mush, i cant breathe...i just want out. So I started to rush.
big mistake. Can you guess what happened?
Im just going to tell you what happened. My forearm touched one of the steam pipes. OWWWWWW. I just burned the shit out of my arm. Without thinking, I recoiled...trying to get away from the pipe. Guess what happened. My other forearm hit the other steam pipe. Now i have TWO mother f***ing burns...one on each forearm. and its all because I am an idiot. I should have known to keep a long sleeve shirt on. ive been in these situations before.....and I always make sure my arms are protected. I guess i just wasnt thinking. maybe it was the heat, maybe it was because it was my first day back and I wasnt in "work mode" yet. either way, i stripped down without thinking and it cost me.
But I think Im ok. The burn marks are like 2 inch circles on each arm. They burned for a couple of hours, but i dont even feel it anymore. Im gonna have marks for a week, but it looks like i dodged a major bullet.
Welcome back, Vin!!!!!
