slow at work ?

its slow here in my county for electricians. some guys were out of work for 6-8 months. about 180 electricians not working. luckily im an apprentice so they keep me busy. that will all change in a couple years.
IBEW Local 302? I'm also an apprentice going into my 3rd year, I just started working again today after being layed off for a week.
I was 5th on the list of apprentices and they told me it would probably be two weeks before any work, so I was real happy to hear from the hall so soon.
