On to the next one

So today was my last day as a Mona employee. I'm kind of excited and about transferring and getting a change of scenery but at the same time I still have my reservations. I'm going from a very large contractor to a much smaller contractor and I've been told a lot of different things some good and some bad but come Monday I'll find out for myself. It's funny how things work out though, it seems like every time I feel i start to get good and comfortable at a task my new contractor throws me for a spin by doing something completely different. This definitely isn't a bad thing though my goal as an electricity is to have a pretty solid foundation in every part of our industry. At my first contractor Perlectric it was mostly tenant work with a little with a little bit of base building. At Mona I worked on existing fire alarm systems in completely occupied buildings with a good bit of preventive maintenance and occasional general electric work. Now as of Monday I will be running bus duct and from my understanding basically be setting up from the utility to the building outside in the dirt. Honestly I've been kind of anxious to do some deck work just because I've heard so many mechanics speak of it in their experiences as if it was some right of passage, so I'm excited to get my hands dirty and acquire one more stepping stone on my path to becoming a knowledgeable worthy mechanic
