"That whore"... yes, they pay me too well for me to just up and leave her......

I just bought a Washburn acustic. My first guitar. Figured it was about time since my name is Bob Dillon.
I am looking for someone to give me lessons now.
My wife listened with rapt attentiveness as I shared with her the sordid details of my present indescretion.
I explained to my dear wife why I am not there for her in the evenings.
I shared...
Thanks for the kind words.
I am alive and well, still at the same outfit.
I finally spilled the beans to my dispatcher. She texted me this morning begging me to run some calls today, SATURDAY.
I told her yesterday I was...
I still do this from time to time... pittiful isnt it!?

I have been on this job Six Months Now! That is nearly a record for me.
(no comments... please) :)
At most of he outfits I worked, there was always somebody around who knew more than I did...
a friend of mine is an Austin detective. He told me he once had to point his pistol at a perp and he had the red dot on the guy's chest. It had this gorwn man down on his knee's, in tears, begging...
We just hired a new guy to cover out northern most territory of stores. His truck aint set up, he's got no manuals on the specialised equipment he is extected to service and he dont know the ropes...
It has been a challenging time here. Identifying what is needed and then waiting to have it shipped in.
This branch office is a low budget start up enterprise. I like the work, for the most part but...
A lot here depends on what work they will be doing. Some outfits supply everything while others supply the torch, vac pump, recovery and NOTHING ELSE!

Spotts, you are my kinda guy!
I was on this slurpee machine at a 7-11 and I opened this panel to check the syrup/water ratio, (brix). Well... you mash this button and the valve opens up the pressurized line and out comes the...
I would build up into this slowly. I would refrain from anything which holds grease and work mainly on electric heating/ cooking equip for the time being. Go online to search out all the tech manuals...
there I was, layed out on the floor in a 7-11... broomstick in hand, partly underneath a counter... looking for a lost part.
As a customer was getting himself a big gulp, he heard me saying to...

Not because I am so good at any of the makes or models... but because I am now the only guy in this branch who has any experience on them!
Yeow!

we could use you here in Austin. I cant speak for pay or bennies though. But there is lots of work and all the slurpee's you wanna drink :)
superheat measured at the compressor is useful to tell you if your coming back with a slug of liquid and gonna eventually kill the unit from flood back. Or is the return gas so overheated that the...
Buddy, I just signed with Verizon last night and got their latest and greatest antenna that lets me access their new upgrade called Rev. It is faster than DSL.

I have to be careful to not step on anyone's toes about ordering parts directly. I am playing it safe about using protocol here at this company. For example, last night I found a trane unit with a...
I FINALLY broke down and bought a broadband account with Verizon! It is slicker than snot on a door knob.

Hey y'all, I ran into a little Husman case yesterday where the controller seems to be acting up. My coil is icing up in about ten days. Probably not enough off cycle defrost time.
