Don't you really mean, "...the call of doodie"?

if he hadn't pooped in his pants he would have had no problem. I guess they need to start having potty training in apprenticeship classes now

I had a helper one time that I apparently made so nervous that he'd get diarrhea every time I started to get on his case about something. Like, instantly, running to the nearest toilet type of emergency. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. This went on, off and on, for months until he finally quit showing up for work. He was an okay worker; just the nervous sort.

I wonder if it's some kind of defense mechanism.
Most predators would probably avoid eating something covered in $hit.

Here's the two myths you'll hear from electrical contractors and your co-workers.
"we do quality work"
"safety is important"
On both counts 95% of the time you will find out they are full of **** and only one thing matters. Getting the job done with the materials and equipment on hand. Code? WTF is that, I learned something in school one time? Materials? That 2" screw will work. Safety? We got a hot stick and it's only 13K volts. So.. Enjoy the new job and don't do anything to get yourself hurt as there will be many more jobs for you in the future.
