I get battered women divorced and keep abusive dads from getting to see their kids.
Good.
Any man that beats on a woman or a child will get no sympathy from me.
So, what's your day job?

As many here know, I'm a Stihl dealer. I do about 30% of our repairs at this moment. My Stihl department is a small portion of a multi-faceted business that includes hardware, building materials, lumber, tool and small heavy equipment rental. We also truck all of our own freight from 100 miles away. My week is trucking at least two days a week in the winter, and four days in the summer, repair saws at night, manage the business in the hours in between. I also do a lot of the repairs on everything else with an engine around our place. In all of this I make sure that I spend plenty of time with my wife and kids. It's challenging and I love every single minute of it. I spend entirely too much time here

That has to be tough. I hope the satisfaction of helping and protecting them eases the trouble of knowing their stories. You are doing difficult yet valuable work, you have my admiration. Take care of yourself.

Paramedic...would rather be a bikini inspector on a beach somewhere, but haven't seen that job in the classifieds yet......
I was a diesel/truck mechanic for 25 years, but this last September I left that occupation to work on forklifts for a large warehousing company. Technically, I'm in fleet maintenance, so I still work on a truck now and then. Things had gotten sour with the ownership at my old company and overall, the transportation industry is pretty raw. It's hard to find a day job in trucking, and a lot of companies do not pay overtime over 40 hours. The stress level is waaayyyy down at my new job, and I don't have to spend all day outside getting trucks running when it's below zero out. It was hard to give up 4 weeks vacation, and to start over being the new guy with lots of new stuff to learn.

Was a dud tester for looney toones ("...and just think, in thirty years I can retire!), finally made it out of that job and they made me a plumbing heating & cooling contractor turned facilities manager for a small bio lab that engineers better performing hammers for the dud testers who haven't made it out yet. Yup, giving back to the community...
Good stuff.
