Should have thought about that when they decided not to make that payment(s). Just sayin

Everyone makes a bad decision from time to time, some more than others. Unexpected divorce, workplace accidents, injuries, illness, cancer, illness/cancer of a family member or child/parent that suddenly needs care, downsizing/laid off are just a few of examples that start the domino's falling . 22 years on the job and I've seen enough to know NO ONE is immune to the punches life gives out. Rarely do I come across someone that simply "decides" to quit making payments.

Generally, I make decisions for people that can't do it for themselves. More of a life counselor I guess.

Aka firefighter/paramedic for City of Phoenix.

I'm a monkey with a hammer. Not the "hammer"

General contractor. But not smart enough to figure out how not to still work on site.

Does this mean we can get a really good deal from you on a new Weddle HV1 box???!

I can definitely set you up with one, we dont really budge on pricing though. They are priced as low as we can.

Machinist in my own shop.

I boss myself around mostly, and my clients also tell me what they want me to do.

Lately I tried to be superman, when I heal up from that failed attempt, I'll stick to making chips.

I hear you machinists referencing chips, is that what you call every part you make? Curious about the lingo.

If that's the one in Montrose I'm thinking of, I remember bowling there about 30 years ago. I remember it being right down the street from a ski/board shop at the time.

I looked at going to work for mwd a long time ago. Hard place to get in. I applied at the pumpming staion between indio and the river.
Now work for the state as treatment operator. Still wouldn't mind trying again. You must have a long commute time.

Ah...Hinds Pumping Plant. I feel pretty fortunate to get in with MWD. Not a bad place to work for as compared to the last water agency I worked for. Commute is about 1hr each way. I wasn't aware the state had treatment plants? Whereabouts is your plant located?

Havasu1986...yes. The giant plant just above the golf course.

Good thread Boschma!

I run an agricultural daycare facility. I pay 40+ people to let me babysit them and cooridinate activities like specialized bovine care, tractor operation, maintenance and repair, and irrigated crop care. When I get to go home, I work for my wife who pays all the bills. Some days I hide in my office and pretend to do all the above while I'm really killing time on RDP!

What's your horses names? My buddy's last name is Hubbard. He and his dad have several horses that fun their. Mostly quarter horses and a few thoroughbreds.

I stood next to the gate when they started the quarter horses. Impressive to say the least.
