To Sum it up !
I find myself to be one of the lucky ones who can get up in the mornings
and look forward to my work. I have invested a lot of time and money into my
trade. I have a lot of toys… I mean tools, including service truck, computer
diagnostic equipment, hand and air tools up to 1 inch drive and more.
I find myself in a search to find a place to work where I can once again
get up in the morning and love my work and feel that i am a asset
to the place that I work for, not just for the pay check.
Thank you for your time to read this.
