Recently, I worked some construction jobs.
I quit that some time ago, but the company I had worked for needed some urgent help.
It was good for a few days, but I would not want to go back to it permanently.
Inside a hospital - thought the corridor looked cool
It even had a padded cell...
The job itself wouldn't be so bad, but the stress...
There is very little idle time (basically none), a lot of responsibility and shit pay.
Also: Nobody respects you the way they should.
I was just there to help out for a few jobs so that was ok.
The electrician cut through the whole wall 馃槷
I mainly wanted to share the photo.
This is not a timberframe house with drywall; this is brick & mortar.
That particular building was from the 50s.
The electrician routed out slits for the wiring.
That's fairly normal...
But when he did the same from the other room, both cuts met and that madman took out the whole wall.
It's not a supporting wall, but it won't even carry its own weight like that.
This will probably not be noticed, but filled in.
I can even bring this back to Hive:
I don't want to carry heavy stuff around dusty, dangerous places.
It's cool for a while, but the pay does not justify the stress.
This house is part of a bigger project.
The total volume is impressive.
The contractor for that wiring will have enough work for 2 people for months.
The person who did the above job was drunk or somehow else unfit for this type of work.
I would not trust them to change a lightbulb.
I should seriously finish & ship some of the apps I've built.
I am no electrician. I am not even officially qualified for the job I did that day. I would have (had?) to look up how to wire the sockets correctly, but I would have done a better job than that guy.
I have next to 0 experience operating webserver stuff.
...but I have 0 passion left for any of the jobs I have done so far.
I just wanted to share the picture and a few words and now I am back to my usual topic...
