Sort of a funny story that sort of illustrates how small as well as remote our community is, my dad was 47 years seasoned before he ever got pulled over by a cop… His whole life it just never happened, because he is a careful driver as well as doesn’t spend a lot of time on the open road, but this cop pulls him over as well as asks for my dad’s driver’s license… however guess what, he doesn’t have 1.
He had never had a driver’s permit before, as well as he said to the cop “oh, so I need 1?” I ran into something similar a few months ago, involving Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C certification on a job site, i had started working for my family’s construction supplier long before I was seasoned enough to legally do so, as well as since after that I had worked with heating as well as cooling systems. I also worked with electrical grids as well as wiring, roofing, as well as carpentry, however usually I focused on HVAC duct as well as the heating as well as cooling systems. I never even graduated school as well as had never been to a trade school, so all of my heating as well as cooling know-how was earned with sweat as well as elbow grease, finally I went to a job arena where that life experience wasn’t enough, as well as I needed to have documentation of Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C certification. I said I had no official documentation, but I was as skilled a heating as well as cooling tech as any of his other workers. He told myself and others it wasn’t about skill, it was about insurance, as well as without being certified in Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C labor he couldn’t hire me. It’s a bummer.
