Thanks. I like taking pics just take em.of everything I do lol. Ya I a quick learning very hard worker now if I could just find a job that will start me out at like 12$ an hour id quit my job. But at the same time fucking piss tests. So with construction n shit do u only get tested if u fuck something up. Because I dont want to stop smoking unless I have to

new hires get it.CDL drivers get randoms.Accidents/fuck ups get it.Once in awhile you find places(1 outta 20) that don't test or are cool about it

best i ever did was art director. thankless job. lotta false deadlines. great co workers. the best drugs and i took long vacas in summer when clients are typically away. our agency was in a high rise across from a hotel. every year during the army navy game weekend we would all gather in the presidents office and watch the cadets carry on across the street in their rooms because they never closed the blinds. that was fun. the job was never about the money. none of my jobs ever were. i only ever did exactly what i wanted.

After working for the man for half my life I started my own business in pressure washing and wood restoration, mostly houses and decks. start my third year this spring and have 16k booked. the work lasts about 8 months out of the year so I grow and plow in the winter. I try to book all my work at $125.00 an hour but last year i averaged $100.00
