As I've mentioned a couple of times in these forums. I at the tender age of eighteen drove a wrecker for the local police in my town. I learned very well the art of pushing just the right buttons to keep us on an even keel.
I would get calls at one in the morning telling me there's a car sticking out the side of the church and we can't get at the occupants. You would think I had the upper hand, as They needed my special talents to accomplish thier objective.
Wrong, If I wasn't there ten minites ago there was a cruiser at my house. You see back then we didn't have the jaws of life, we had wreckers. I was part wrecker opperator, part emt, and part coroner. I was still in highschool.
I learned over time to gain the upper hand. You had to show them who was boss. Our downtown beat cop, took my car from behind the shop I was working at, because I left the keys in it. (they were having a big anti-car theft program at the time). He left it behind a local resterant frequented by the cops. It took me three hours to find it.
About three weeks later, I along with two friends pulled into a little variety store, right next to a cruiser that was left running just to grab a quick pack of smokes. To make a long story short I stole the cruiser. I drove it comletly through downtown ,and left it right in the same spot they left my car. With that little stunt I gained the respect of most of the cops I worked with. There was however one cop who is probably still pissed at me to this day.
Life went on and I still got those three am calls for a roll over or whatever. There were many days you would see a wrecker with a wrecked vehicle attached parked in the student parking lot. I did however keep the keys with me.
I don't look at this from a political point of view, I am not a democrat , republican or independant. I'm like an outsider looking in the window.
What I would expect to see, would be a governor working together with everyone to solve a problem that will eventually affect everyone. Someone willing to bend one way or the other. He was elected to serve the people.
What I see is a fool, his mouth is ten steps ahead of his brain. He's a thug wanna be. I've worked and lived all over the country, and I have never seen a governor use so many threats to get his way. He makes threats he knows are illegle. He is so afraid of the next round of elections for a reason. He's going to be the last one standing, and its his fault.
I am so glad my daughter had the brains to move out of state. At least she has health insurance.
Again I'm looking at this with absolutly no polotical concideration. What I see is the schoolyard bully trying to get as many lackys on his side as possible. Unfortunatly thats how the rest of the country sees the state. Kind of makes you proud, doesn't it?
Hey legislators, listen up. There are real issues that need to be taken care of, that affect HUMANS. Is it any wonder noone has any confidence in government?
These out of state executives must think we're pretty stupid, or thier incredibly stupid themselves.
What are they going to do when all this training is done, fire the experienced help?
They should be hireing teachers. Someone who would work in a modified classroom, and teach what needs to be taught. The Career centers do it all the time. When I went to work for a high tech company in Portland, even though I had two degrees in the field I still had to go through two weeks in the classroom.
Thier not looking for teachers, thier looking for permanent help.
Anyone in the Oxford area, unless you know your way around a blackjack table can look forward to low paying jobs in the concession stands or janitorial work. Don,t fall for thier lies.
First of all its knob a tube (kt) wiring. second of all probably eighty percent of three story structurs have this " LEGAL " type of wireing on at least the middle floor of the building.
You can replace the top floor wireing through the attic access. The first floor from the basement. The second floor usually doesn't have easy access to the wiring, and usually would require demolition to some degree to replace the wiring, thats why its been grandfathered.
If the first and third floor need rewiring, it can be done with minamal disruption to the tennants. Sounds to me someone has a vendeta. Electritions and contractors, before you start screaming about how wrong I am, save your time. Like I've mentioned before , I don't give a damm

I have a taste of what your saying

I'm glad thats settled

Instead of hireing people towork and train
