That welder cert renewal nearly cost me my job last Tuesday

Honestly I got an email about my 6G cert expiring and thought it was still good for 3 months. Turns out my file at the hall in Gary had the wrong date logged, and I almost showed up to a Union Pacific job without valid papers. Has anyone else had their cert dates mixed up in the system before?

My buddy Dan had the same thing happen with his pipe cert back in 2019. He showed up to a refinery gig and the safety guy pulled up his number and said it was dead two weeks prior. Dan had to drive home and grab his old paperwork to prove he'd renewed it on time, took him half the day. Makes you wonder how many other guys are walking around with bad dates in the system, right?
