    Injun, Im working on it. I'v applied to several schools and am filling out forms every day. I dont want to waste any more of my time with all this political bs bc thats just what it is.
    I'm thinking about several options the same as u mentioned. Also I'm looking at distence from home . As two of the schools arent that far and one is in georgia, another is 7 hrs away. So I havent made a decision on which to go with yet.
    I'm hoping to be able to get money together to pay for my own schooling and stay close by for those few weeks. Before I start off on my jurny.
    I know its only a few weeks, but I'm not looking forward to leaving my wife and living in a hotel for that time.
    On the other hand I need to look into central refigerated's schooling and what others have to say about them. Would any of u like to tell me what u think of them and their business ?

    I can certainly see myself explaining to my child....why daddy won't buy groceries. I'd rather eat the business end of a 1911.

    I've had LOW paying jobs that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But my family never complained about the lack of food and a warm bed. They may have complained about not getting to buy the latest fashion......

    You'll note I used the word "won't" instead of can't. That was intentional.

    He got his shorts blazed, for the same reason I would need mine if I were in that situation..

    99 weeks..... and now he's ready to get serious.

    There has been ZERO shortage of jobs in this industry during that period. Had he come to this forum 2 or 20 weeks in. I would respect the man for showing an effort to be a "provider", to himself and others.

    He milked this gravy train for as long as they would let him. And now I'm supposed to show him some respect ???

    #### that idea. And the white horse it rode in on.

    He also stated he had done some work. Did he do it while drawing that check ?? If so....he's a willful criminal. An element I do not want to see in this industry.

    Which leads us back to my "Rob a Bank" statement.

    I did not say this, it was a quote by the OP.

    Well fortunately. He'll get a break. I have to start packing.

    Stick around though. I have another loose cannon on another thread, I am currently ignoring long enough to piss off another poster within said thread.

    I'm sure he'll trash mouth me for the entire 2 weeks I'm gone :biggrin_2559:

    Maybe I should have my label changed to "Village Troll" instead of "Village Idiot". :biggrin_25525:
