Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

silver 1st gen @ in n out in roseville with camburg decals, glass fenders and prerunner bumper.

 

1st Gen, white, liftted, and with two exhausts at Ocean Ave. exit on NB280 at approx 1830 hours today. I even waved to the driver and gave him a thumbs up. Wonder if he's a member here...

 

Silver 2nd gen single cab. LT with a caged bed. Greenback and garfield in sacramento.

 

DAM i just got notification that the government will be ending my contract the end of September. It looks like the recession has caught up to me

Anyone in Norcal have some openings I'll be looking in a few months

 

What do you do?

 

I work for GSA I do document imaging for the feds. It's the most boring job Ive ever had but it pays well all the jobs Ive ever had have been hands on and this one i sit on my ass all day on a computer. I'm kinda glad it's over

 

What are your qualifications? degree? sales experience?

 

On to something else then. Any ideas what you'd like to do?

 

I'd say bummer, but
..."I'm kinda glad it's over..."

makes me think it's for the best in the long run. So, just guessing here, but obviously

1. hanging out your shingle as a photographer

and

2. getting an ASE cert and working as an auto mechanic wrenching on cars

are the two ideas that naturally come to mind...

 

I have a lot of qualifications too many to list no degree. Sales not so much Ive never had a sales job. Most of my jobs have been labor/Union jobs

You know I really don't know what I want to do i do know this I don't want to be sitting a computer unless the salary is amazing.

 

i know the only reason Ive stayed with this job is the salary it really great and there was nothing out there that would pay that high without me going back to school.

1. hanging out your shingle as a photographer
Don't pay enough unless I'm shooting weddings or down in LA

and

2. getting an ASE cert and working as an auto mechanic wrenching on cars
That would be an option

 

ahh ok... yeah we have 3 sales positions open in the bay, but experience is completely necessary. I wasnt sure what you were doing before.

 

Yeah i could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves. But Ive never had a sales position other then when I was a kid detailing cars trying to up sale packages.

 

Yeah, this is technical sales too. you have to have a good grasp on the industry. Selling chips is not like selling cars, stereos.. or anything like that.

 

Oh Yeah I know I don't know what i want to do. Hell the company that contracts me out might put me to work back in Sacramento at the home office I have been with the company for five years, That's going to be a fun commute.

 

And after you just bought your house, not like you could just up and move. You aren't working for BMI, are you?

 

The photography business is so hard these days. It'd be too hard to make decent money.

 

Yeah tell me about it. And I'm contracting for GSA

 

Who knows. Maybe heading back to the home office will be a good thing? At least you'd stay employed for a bit and maybe that connection would find you a better contract nearer to home?

How ever it turns out, I wish you the best of luck.

 

Yeah I just spoke with the director of operations and she want's me in SAC if I'm willing to commute. Now just to talk money
