Do you work for doug by any chance?

ya, my boss buys cars at the auction, and depending on the condition of the car, I either fix it up to sell, or part it out, but the shop itself specializes in z-cars. I only get 7.50 an hour, but I'm 16, so I cant complain.

Hey Joel, can you come to my house and tell me if there are any spiders in the very back corner of my crawlspace. I dont want any to get in the house this winter :biglaugh:

 

[Joel W.]

no, i can tell you this though... they are harmless..the only poisonous spider in Wa. is the black widow and they are all on the east side.. all the others have fangs that cant break through your skin so they too are harmless.. the ones that do bite are not poisonous

i only deal with structural insects that damage wood like anobiid beetles and carpenter ants...

DM-I know that if you were flipping burgers you'd have little or no sense of accomplishment. I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with a lack of that. I know how times get really tough in the military, and sometimes seem to have no end, but stay positive because things will get better.

I know, man, but tonight I was seriously thinking "Damn.. maybe I could get a job as a Cop near my parents in Arizona".
Really, if I could get a job in Yuma, I think it would be awesome. I visited there for 2 weeks and it was not only beautiful, but it's a decent sized town that is still growing, with plenty of room. It is also right there with my family, who I haven't been able to see much of in these past 8 years.
Maybe I will extend a year, get all debt paid off, save money and get out. I am really not sure of what I want to do. Then again, I am also thinking of cross-training.
Geez.. if I get out, I'd be giving up alot of retirement benefits. I don't know if the BS, deployments and mindgames are worth it. I am really confused here. :cry:

Whatever you do I hope it ends up working out for you.

If you move to Yuma then I'll be able to come meet you some time-maybe on the way to SILV '07. I'll be moving to the Orange Co./SD area next September and that's only about 3 hours away from Yuma.
