I'm young and ambitious and part of my EMT job is to SPEEEEED in the distant future I hope to get my PA, or maybe just move back down Seattle Area and work as a paramedic down there for the big $$$. I go to school, work at Quiznos, work as an EMT, and work on my 7. I'll get a life hopefully when my I get my paramedic...I hope? AND YES TO THE COPS, I DO SPEED, And I DO DRIVE LIKE A DUMB YOUNGIN IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER WORK. But come on its my only joy in life....promise not to kill anyone, is that good enough?

I'm 40, feel like I'm 60, and act like I'm 20. SO, I have all the bases covered.

Did: US Navy aircraft painter, longhaul trucker, heavy duty wrecker driver, regional truck driver, school bus PDI inspector, RV technician.

Do: I currently work for the City of Jacksonville, at the motorpool repairing police cars. And they say we drive crazy!! I have never seen so many bent radiator supports, frames and suspensions. And that is just from running over things. That does not include the ones they use in car chases that get mangled.
I bet I could overhaul brakes on a crown vic or impala faster than most people here,LoL

Later,
Bill

That's a possibility. But they need to have better food, and more of it. Plus some raffles and activities like, Rotor tossing,lol.


I say we have them barbeque up a couple hundred pounds of Tri-Tip.

Hell, If I want to attend the next Rotorfest. I have to travel almost 500 miles one way.

no i haven't lost it. sometimes it's hard to know when someone is poking fun or just trying to **** ya off. i know that there's some ppl that get off pissing ppl off just cause they know they live far away and u can't do anything about it. but that comment really didn't rub me the wrong way tho.
