My son needs a job

**Big Dave** · 11th October 2009, 10:05

Matt got laid off as an installer and is currently labouring for minimum wage.

Good worker, has a brain, 6'6" and strong. 2 years into electrical apprenticeship.

Auckland based. Own transport. (Dag drives a subaru eieieie!).

Needs an opportunity.

Anybody knows anything , 'preciate it.

isnt it up to the employer to place a apprentice with another firm instead of laying them off

He's not that keen to continue with sparking, unless...
Wants to get into engineering and welding, but that is next year.

Sounds similar to me. Out of the electrical industry and wanting to get into welding and engineering. I left though, turns out my hand doesn't like electricity (or maybe it does because it wouldn't let go)

True story

Up on ladder on courtney place fixing atm light by starmart.
Tape cardboard box over daylight sensor to activate light.
Replace lamp still no go.
Young lady comes along and sits on bench seat.
Young lady sticks legs up and crosses them in short pleted skirt.
Young lady has on no underwear
Mossy forgets about cardboard box on daylight sensor and starts taking apart light.
Mossy holds onto live cable while forehead on sign.
Mossy blown off ladder and lying on ground with burnt forehead.
Young lady gets up to see if mossy OK standing over him(still perving)

Mossy just about killed by a piece of Muff.

It is attitudes like this which results in the majority of people killed in Australia by electrocution being Sparkies.
The shock just has to hit you at the wrong time and your heart starts to fibrillate. Result = Game Over!

If every sparky that got a shock quit work you would be cooking on a fire and reading books by candle light at night.Do you think there is a sparky that has not had a biff at some point?
