But….do you get to pull guns on people doing their jobs? Yeh. It IS A REPO. I told him he could have it after I got paid for my part. Consider it a “mechanics lean”. Oooopsie daisy. Now I’m on the Desoto PD radar as a gun toting REPUBLICAN. The guy almost [censored] himself when he saw the gun. I told him to come knock on the door next time. Don’t just start dragging [censored] outta my parking lot. Was it a legit repo? Customer could pay the note but had those high end wheels?

I have been selling drugs for 49 years. 24 years at this location, I'm ready to sell my prime corner. It has been interesting and rewarding.
Anyone want to buy a pharmacy ?

I learn something new everyday. Keeping up with technology is very challenging. +1 And the rate at which it changes continues to increase while my ability to keep up is a constant.

I’ve worked for some really rich folks and built some cool stuff. Spent the better part of a year remodeling a house on snowmass mountain in Aspen. We stayed in the house. It recently sold for 16 million.

The vehicle itself is paid for, but they used it as collateral on something else. Furniture or something. The repo guy didn’t seem like he knew what the hell was going on. Rookie. He thought he was just gonna roll up on it, hook and go. He learned a little bit about how possession of a property works. It’s still here, after all was said and done. But….i told the customer that the lien holder gets the car when I finished. Unless they get straight with them before I’m finished.

semiconductor industry for 37 years --love the technology and it's constant evolution . Dealt with every level --CEO's, VP's , Engineers ---very smart people . Every culture ---some great , some suck . Hate travelling ---especially internationally , such a waste of time . Had to travel to Japan one time for a dinner --UGH . Learned that I much prefer working physically with my hands VS sitting in meetings or on my PC

My job is incredibly interesting and always an adventure. I couldn't even begin to sum it a up in a concise manner. I've had a front row seat to countless amazing miracles and gut wrenching tragedies. There are days it's tested the core of my being, mental toughnesd and my physical abilities like nothing else ever could. I've been at my lowest one second and felt I was at my breaking point only for the tones to drop and I am back on top of the world just that fast. I've seen superhuman feats from mortals more times than I can count. I have laughed, cried, sweat, bled and fought beside some of the greatest people I will ever know. People that will give their lives with no questions asked or hesitation to save anyone regardless of their race, religion, serial orientation or political preference. None of that matters one bit when the tones drop. They go forward no questions asked. I've seen the best of people and the worst of peopl, sometimes on the same call.. It's been a hell of a ride. Wouldn't trade a thing and I am in no hurry to see it end. I've not always loved my job but I've never hated one single second of it and it's gonna be hard to walk away when that day comes. my son has the same job --- I worry he will be affected by the tragedies he see's . He's loves the challenge and really likes the " team " aspect . Y'all do some crazy chit for sure

I have an interesting job. Just stopped a guy trying to steal a customers Tahoe with a tow truck. He said he had papers….i said show me the papers as I held my 357 in my hand. He jumped in the tow truck a hauled [censored]. The cops are on their way now. This truck belongs to a wealthy customer and the truck has $15,000 wheels and tires.
Broad daylight.
Right in front of the shop. We have all the doors closed because it’s cold. I heard the trucks alarm going off on the keychain on our key rack. I kept asking. What’s that beeping noise. Opened the door and say this [censored] dragging the truck down the driveway. He then unhooked and was repositioning to get a better grab. He must have thought I was crazy. he was pretending to be the repo man, haha. hes been watching too much tv.

Interesting? Yeah no doubt. We managed fuel and resources. Hardware/software. Our stuff is pretty straightforward but the challenge is putting it in a lot of different applications. The world runs on diesel fuel. Anyone who thinks differently is delusional. This is the type of job I always dreamed of.

Y'all do some crazy chit for sure Tell him to keep his family close and keep the friend group that he had prior to becoming a FF around, keep hobbies, stay active and never to be afraid to tell someone if a call or calls are bothering you. We gotta do a better job in this business with our mental health and watch out for one another. If he stays in it he will eventually experience burnout, calls that haunt him and just the stresses that come with this particular job. Don't drown it in alcohol or other diversions. We all go through it. Just be honest and open about it and learn to see the signs and allow yourself the grace to be human.

When I graduated from high school I wanted to get into drafting well I got sidetracked and spent 15 years as a machinist, got laid off in 83, then bounced around for 8 years. Retrained and went to work downhole tool company, seven years later I got laid off again. Found a job in the trade show industry It was the best most satisfying ever. Retired after 2014 after 14 years great years.

I like to hang upside-down blindfolded, then I take my stapler apart and put it back together real fast before my nose begins to bleed.

I've been retired for a year now after spending 40 years as a police officer. I was fortunate enough to work for a larger department that had various divisions. Besides basic patrol functions, I was able to experience in depth activities while working community policing, narcotics, CSI, and investigations. I have no regrets, especially when that nice pension check hits my account each month.....
