That's right ! In a fire, you never take the elevator. Just leave it where it is....

There's plenty of good jobs out there for anyone who wants to work and is willing to make the effort to meet the requirements Many jobs will train....if you need remedial help in some areas to meet the requirements....go get it ! It's worth it I spoke with an aircraft mechanic recently who told me they are desperate for people Opportunities exist in many areas.....but people have to make the effort to seize them I will always go out of my way to help people whenever I can, and that includes 'strangers' that sometimes just come up to me and start talking about how to get into the mechanical trades. I've directed a number of people down the right road and it makes me happy when sometimes by chance I'll run into them years later when they're a tradesman themselves. One such person was an immigrant from Colombia who was hired to replace the gutters and leaders on my house. My wife actually hired him through a real estate agent / house flipping friend of ours who gave his work a glowing review. Well long story short, he was a great guy, his English was very rough but he told me he was enrolling in night classes to become fluent. I tried to get him into a company that I knew was hiring helpers but his English was just too poor at that time. I ended up giving him a few telephone numbers of places to call after he could speak the language better...... About 5 years passed and I got an unexpected phone call from him speaking almost perfect English and the good news that he was now a journeyman in the elevator mechanics union. He said he was going through old phone numbers and when he saw mine he wanted to thank me for being kind to him... I was like "never mind that shit, next time I need gutters on my house I'm getting the family discount" !!! Attachments:

I see that the level of humor within this thread is escalating quickly, reminds me of earlier in the day when I had to take a freight elevator. When I got to my floor the operator said “have a nice day son”. I told him not to call me son, and thats when he said “but I raised you didn’t I ?”

That's one guy that'll never get shafted. Nor will he let you down. You'll have to walk down the stairs....
