I'm a govt weather forecaster. Huh????

Thats right...the National Weather Service has been
issuing forecasts and warnings since the 1870s.
Of course, the boys and girls at TWC, AccuWeather, etc
want you to think that they do all that.

Bye the bye...wx is govt shorthand for weather.

I may let one of my current hands try and keep the doors open on the communications company if he wants to, but it is not making the money that it was a few years ago and as the late great Will Rogers said "If you find yourself in a hole quit digging"
(saw that on the board recently

GMC69 · 08-07-2003, 11:28 PM

Well currently on the road taking care of plumbing and electrical sections for just over 20 hardware/building supply stores. Spent the last 2 years in Ottawa going back to school to get into web development ( took course graduated with honours, not really rocket science

) Then worked for a large Internet Service Provider for business clients.
Previous to that I worked for 8.5 years in a hardware store ( asst. mngr, family store) .

I am thinking of getting my own store for customizing vehicles, parts for ricers ( that is what sells the most, but of course have to supply parts for REAL vehicles too, like our trucks. Tired of haveing to find stores accross the border ( obvioulsy I live in Canada) and pay all the damn taxes and duty and stuff.
The easier it is for people to get parts the more they will customize and restore.
