Welding Coupons

Last week I was doing overhead welding, I was doing a fairly good job at it, and then Mr. Pelletier told me by the end of the week I should be doing coupons.  In addition, I was sick all freakin week and I didn’t want to miss a day.  Then he had me workin on vertical, which I absolutely hate, I was wicked pissed off because I didn’t miss a single day because I wanted to get as much practice as I could for making coupons and then I didn’t end up working on them.

I’ve been workin so damn hard at this vertical shit, I still haven’t moved on, and I was pretty pissed off about the whole thing.  I just wanted to do coupons but I guess im not good enough to do them.  In addition to this I was even more pissed off because I felt like shit all of last week and I didn’t miss one day of school because I thought I was gonna be making and working on coupons, buuut nooooooo.  I’ve been bustin my ass to get where I am now and I just coL.  I tell ya what I was just about as frustrated as a man with no arms trying to reach the top shelf in the grocery store.  I start off really nice and then my welds start to look like shit!!!!!  Then yesterday I was welding beads like a boss and they were lookin mint.  I just want to start making coupons but apparently Im not good enough, which is total BS.  I’ve been busting my ass to work towards making coupons I’ve filled up like 5 pieces on both sides, and yet I couldn't run a solid bead on vertical.  Then yesterday I was welding beads like a boss and they were lookin mint.

Then yesterday when I was about to leave the shop and Mr. Pelletier told me tomorrow that I would be working on my 3/8th coupon!!!!  

So today I built my first coupon and the first bead that I was about to lay I got the stick stuck almost instantly and I was well god dang it and I unstuck the stick and threw it out of my bay and smashed against the wall…hahaha…oops.  Luckily Mr. Pelletier didn’t see or hear what I did.  One of two things would of happened, number 1: he would have laughed his ass off or two: yell at me and get irritated.  Then I had to grind down my little blob I made and started over and I did fairly ok almost got stuck once or twice, but for my first time ever welding on a coupon I think I did a pretty good job.  It was Mint.com I tell you what.
