3 mos. without family is total burn out.
Try to get your wife to visit you, once a month. Every Holiday tell the GF your going to take the day before and the day after off, go be with your family. Call your wife every day. Talk to your kids every day. Get Nextel with the walky talky feature. Get Vonage at home. Learn how to text. Constant communication.
Don't screw around on your wife. She'll know. Your marriage and family is about communication. Actually a two hour phone call with your wife, you'll communicate better than most married couples living together.
Take care. God Bless you.
does it matter if it is union??
instead just take a job that pays the bills. i work for a small NONUNION utility and am very happy and make a comfortable living. why does someone always bring up the fu@@ing union. you all are pro union until you dont have work!!!!! last week we had two union plumbers working as scabs because they dont have any work. the one had sticker on the back of his truck that said "proud to be a union plumber" . i am not anti union just pro me and if i get a decent job that is not union i will be just as happy and wont walk around making assnine comments like that. box? you never did contractor work at all, most people cant slide into utility jobs unless they have a in. i just lost a good co-op job to some apprentice whose uncle worked for the utility. i think every lineman should do construction for a while instead of being coddled at a utility living on easy street..!!
