Your right lol, they have quite the inventory of manufactured goods.

Looks like fun

Oh ya, went pretty good, they gave me my van and it was the most un organized van I've ever seen, there were literally gas valves with pipe fittings and controls mixed with plumbing stuff. I think I pulled 20 zone valves out of every nook and cranny.
I was supposed to do a ride a long for a week, I worked with the head tech for 2 hours then did service calls the rest of the day, it's belo zero so I guess that's expected. All in all I think I like it there, everyone seemed nice, they have parts up the ass which is great, told me they will get me whatever tools I need. I posted the pic of my first job today in the wall of shame but here it is anyways Attachment 348571

So???

Kids only want to sleep in when it's a school day, on the weekends their up and running early, usually my 2 yr old wakes me up to get him some juice. I still get those calls that are tricky, like the time a pissed of tenant rewired everything in a furnace, and stole the regulator, hell even the ignitor was a fraction of an inch out of line and would intermittently fire.

I'm sure ill be up. The boy doesn't know a holiday from any other day! And remember, just when you think you know a lot....a humbling call is right around the corner. It's how you handle that and the ones after it will determine how good you will be. Hopefully you won't be like the SF defense right now.

Oh and taking notes might be helpful. Working on a holiday....bs!

Hurtin that's a good one, I think it's happened a time or two from what I hear on the forum.

I don't have any friends Ryan so that might not be an issue lol
