Re: Connections To The Back Of A Switch


I wanna go for a ride on the yacht. Hey Plan 9, can I go for a ride on the yacht? I love yachts. Does your yacht have the G1000 NAV II on it?

I know this post only sounds half serious, but I'm trying to stay within the posting rules of this site, so I can't say what I really want to say.

I'll just leave it at this. Plan 9 you are a backstabbing fool.

BTW- Thank you to all the backstabbing electricians out there, you make me money. Don't stop doing what you are doing. If nobody backstabbed I would lose 25% of my service calls. That's a lot of money every year. So, while I think you are the scum of the earth, please do not change. Let me secretly thank you, as I publically chastise you.
Hear, hear!
I know I am new here and try to remain polite on these forums and will remain so. However, what is becoming of the electrical trade when electrical business owners apparantly take blatant pride in shoddy work and the use of illegal immigrants instead of qualified electricians?

Karma, yes I do belive that Karma will eventually correct the issue.

Please do not take this as a personal attack Plan9. I am sure that under all of the layers you are a good person. You may want to seek out some spiritual guidance at some point as a way to achieve some balance in your Karma. You know, the Yin and Yang.

And the reason I said thoses things is it sounds like to me that you dont ake pride in your work and you are just in it for the money, tho I mabey be wrong.
You got a job to pass inspection? Well Sir, let me apologise profusely, I got you all wrong, even though you can't even spell the word "Circuit", you did pass inspection so you must have something on the ball!

And yes, I'm in it for the money, pride is a nonsensical word, try cashing pride at the bank.

I'm from California so I know what I'm talking about.

I wire houses cheaper than anybody in Los Angeles, and yes, my crew is a band of uneducated, smelly, shifty eyed, filthy illegal aliens, so what? By hiring these guys I'm performing a public service, if they weren't working for me, they'd be ripping off car stereos and doing daytime burglaries.

Sometimes when I see some of the work my guys do, I have to say "man, I'm glad I don't have to live here", but I'm yanking in an easy $3,500 a week PROFIT and I only have one truck!

You guys talk a lot of smack but when it comes right down to it, nice guys finish last.

Yeah boys, I'm in it for the money. Why aren't you?

If you like always tracking down a problem, or enjoy blinking lights, back stab the wires. I cannot understand how a practice that causes so many problems and safety hazards can continue to meet code.

Re: Connections To The Back Of A Switch


I think that topic has been thoroughly explored, and my electrician was just in to collect his pound of flesh from me....he read this and laughed as he left with money. He sai if it was such a grand idea, why did they make the holes for 14 gauge instead of 12 the way they used to be years back?
