The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Well.....................
Here is another outstanding Tuesday that brings a whole lot of nothing through the door. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have tried (albeit not too wholeheartedly ![]() ![]() I have grown accustomed to my pay here. It's pretty good considering that I am probably the highest-paid oil change monkey in the state. ![]() ![]() So I do this. I sit and wait for something to come through the door. The bad part of that is the resulting boredom and lack of desire to do anything once I get "lazy" for the day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Had to vent. This is getting really old.

Yeah the economy is hurting a lot of folks. My brother in law owns an independent shop here in Cali and while he used to be the boss, overseeing the work that was getting done he is finding he is having to do more work himself because he could afford to keep all his employees.
Hopefully their is an upswing soon. Though selfishly, in my line of work, the bad economy is probably good for business. I am finding more and more law abiding citizens doing things they might have never done before and getting themselves into trouble with the law. Which is where I come in. I don't mind takin a tweaker to jail fro robbing an old lady but having to take fathers and mothers to jail for stealing groceries and such is kinda a downer.

I had no idea that was actually happening. Wow. I actually have expressed an interest in becoming a LEO too. Folks have forgotten how their actions affect everyone around them.

Anyway, I'm hopeful. Any proactive approach has got to be better than just sitting by and saying "NO" to everything, like our beloved Arizona Senator Jon Kyle is doing. It honestly wouldn't bother me if these guys say no as long as they come up with some alternate plan that looks like it has a chance of doing something positive. They never seem to do this - they're very happy with the status quo. - Jack

...and see... in my line of work we are swamped since our Ontario Government is giving grants to municipalities to upgrade/repair their infrastructure. I drive truck for a sewer and water main company and there is a lot of work out there for us.
![]() I average 62 hours a week. Just an example of a government doing something positive. It doesn't happen often. ![]()

Fortunatley for me I am in the drinking water industry for one of the bigest districts in California. We have a very old infastructure so there is always a pump or something else to fix.
Although in the summer when the plants are at full throttle because of water demand I have some down time. I usually find myself checking the PHP forum for interesting topics or shopping on the internet for parts I cannot afford. ![]() Cody we have a maintenance department that is hiring people with comercial licenses.
