today is my last day...

“Upon completion of my shift today I will have officially completed all 8020 hours of my Electrical Apprentice program. I finished school in december and now must just wait to take the State licensing examination. It has been 4 very challenging years. I remember posting on TT when I got the job and thinking about how long 4 years sounded...it was like the blink of an eye.”

“congrats, yo”

“Nice going, birch.”

“Congrats Birch!”

“good luck with the test birch!”
