I vote all electricians be called power rangers from now on.

Do you operate those from above ground or do you operate inside of them as they move through the earth? Super interesting!

I'm a Substation Designer. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to design the layouts for electricity sites that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, and low-voltage to high-voltage. You drive by a few of these sites every day most likely, as they're a massive part of our electrical grid.

I stumbled into this job by accident, and I'm really glad I did, because I love it. :)

I do have access to like 50 engineers, at least one of them would volunteer.

Yes, i love my job. I design substations. I feel like my work matters, and I get a thrill that I have a hand in bringing our electricity power grid to life.

Now n' Laters. They're actually all nows and none laters, I can down 4 boxes easy in one sitting.

I use 1440, which sums up daily news in a fact-based way and leaves out all opinion. It's magical. It takes 10 minutes to read and I'm not bombarded by why "libtards are destroying america" or why "this ties back to trump destroying democracy" somehow.

Highly recommend it for daily news.

Hey, thanks. Yeah I feel a little lightheaded/spaced out today, like I definitely realized I effed up, but never again.

I got lost and almost stuck out on a hiking trail in the desert after dark. It was raining, I was soaked through, and so was my dog. It wasn't supposed to rain, and I'd taken this hike before. Granted, never by myself, but still.

Luckily I found my way back to the trail head just as it was getting pitch black, but I was seriously scared there for a bit. I kept apologizing to my dog for being so fucking stupid to go on a two hour hike in the late afternoon with no emergency gear and no "just in case" rain protection.

...this happened 5 hour ago, btw, I can't sleep, I think I'm still in shock a bit at how close I came to possibly dying. And for bringing my dog down with me.

I did this. I'm currently in Phoenix. Yes, it gets hot, but it's really not a deterrent. There's certainly still affordable housing here too, especially if you're okay with manufactured housing.

Me too, except mine was an AS. Covid hit and my work hours dropped so low that I just said "fuck it" and quit my job to finish school off full time.

I'm assuming in a bid to conduct door-to-door preaching is what the title was supposed to say?
