I'm already doing half of the stuff. When my supervisor or boss leave (both are retiring in <10yrs), at least I have something I can put it in resume to have a chance to get their position.

I don't remember where they were. On a highway someplace.

You also get to help people out when they really need it, make people very happy when you give them a job, make changes to make the workplace a better place and many other good things. There is more good than bad in the field.
The drawback is you have to deal with needy engineers.

Cost them $1.15 to mail it to us.

Paying tolls? You pussies. You're on vacation, live a little!

My wife was with us. She was terrified there would be a massive manhunt if we missed a 25 cent toll.

Sounds like a good plan to me -

I just put power to it. Had to do a full rewire. Someone f’d up and I had a massively unbalanced load. I got one side pulling 60 amps though. Everything else is only pulling 36.

sounds like a bad motor phase?

I replaced it with all new 8 gauge SRML.

It's for my large box furnace. The high draw was from a bad connection. I got it sorted now

[soundman98]

ah. a loose arcing connection would definitely do that!

Best of luck! Change is usually good.

Thanks! My manager and also my group's director (manager's boss) are trying to get me to stay but I keep saying I need the change so hopefully they'll understand eventually.
