Home and School

I recently moved out on my own, well, sort of. I rent from a cousin now, but he's always gone working up north so its a cool arrangement, and I'm out from under the folks so I'm def. happy.
Only crappy part is right now I am at school, in another city, taking my lvl. 2 electricians course. Only 6 more weeks left, but the stipulation is I cannot work while taking it so I have to claim Employment Insurance. That really doesn't pay that well either. On top of that I bought a new truck 3 months ago. Talk about stacking the odds, lol. Though in fairness I didn't think id be heading back to school so quickly. I just got done lvl 1 in December. There's 11 of us in the class. People from all different trade backgrounds. Some in mines, others in the paper industry. Some do strictly residential work, and some have variations in between. There's this one real annoying loud mouth guy though. Hot as he may be, Id rather put my fist in his mouth then...something else. He insists he's done everything and anything the instructor can come up with. He's even proud he got hit with 600V, even though that shows blatant disregard of OHS policy's, and proves he's an idiot. The worst i've got is 240 volts, though that was a failure of equipment and not my own self. I can't help it if the previouse sparky miswired the plug and it exploded on me, lol. I got a mild sunburn in the middle of winter for my efforts at fixing his mistake, and I had to replace my meter leads after they melted. Funny thing is 600V would cause extensive burns to the area it contacts, which he claims is his arm. But he has no burns and says he was just lucky. I better open a window to clear the smell of his BS. I really have no use for people who always have to make themselves out to be the best, they know and do everything. BS. No one does.
