Lol you got a job and I quit a job. LoL but I found another working at a camp. Alot easier than stacking stone with the mexicans. :D

Did all that in the course of 2 hours. not too bad if I do say so myself.

no, they wont even let me have a discount. the only person that gets a discount there is the US government, 1% discount.

Electrical should be fun.. i bet you get to hear some funny stories along the way !

I had a friend work there in the same dept and he had the biggest laugh at some people.. mainly pot heads trying to wire up lights...

Do they provide good training ?

most of the training is about safety and home depot credit, it is pretty much done mostly on computers. the actual electrical part i didnt really need. on that computer class i passed the pretest with 100% score so i didnt need to actually go through the course.
