    Yup. Just walk through the door and they’ll take your money. Stay away from Carlos though, that dude is an asshole. Mike, rob, Tony, those guys are alright. But, Carlos is a dick.

    Oh, and don’t tell em I sent ya. They’ll charge you double...

    No, seriously, there are far too many unreliable aftermarket fuel pumps on the market.

    But, in his case, a factory pump isn’t known for its reliability either.

    Watched video. Faulty pickup. Having fun with friends on side of road as repairs are being made, priceless.

    Nothing like a somewhat slow business week, then you finally get a substantial order on Friday afternoon. Then they call back and cancel 10 min later :frusty::frusty::frusty:

    I know it’s an aftermarket pump, but you Toyota guys gave the Chevy guy some shit, right? It’s required in that situation. Even though he’s probably worked on all of your trucks.

    get on the maintenance mechanic list for the state. easiest job ever. they hang pictures and simple shit like that, $29hr
    lots of folks retiring theses days. The test i think is online now, you need to know basic trades stuff like plumbing,carpentry,electrical basics. the test isn't hard and some math conversions. i think there is study test if you look it up. and if you have ?s hit me up.
    Amazon is hiring for $17 an hr as well.

    Whatever you do, do not, and I repeat DO NOT tell them about being the FNG here. That’s like instafail for the psych evaluation.

    Hadn't thought about that. I have a few opportunities with state positions, but the hiring process can take forever. Seeing what's out there. Just threw it out there to see if anyone has openings in their respective fields. Looking to avoid the typical google 'Sacramento jobs' and entry level fry cooker positions on indeed.
