Well, I'm retired from the City of Portland. I started out as a laborer and took a utility test and passed that. So I worked in sidewalks. Well, I started out at Night Street Cleaning and when the light rail was starting here and we cleaned the sidewalks off where we had power connections on each block and we'd plug it in the hose and clean the sidewalk off so people probably thought Portland was pretty clean but it got cleaned every night except Sunday I think. Anyway I took a AEO class automotive equipment operator and man I heard of people getting a stiff neck I actually got a stiff neck taking that test and I didn't I was down quite a ways 10 people or so on the test. They post what your score is and where you rank but nobody wanted to work nights and so I jumped ahead of a whole bunch of people and they offered me a nice street cleaning job again which was driving a fluster for sweepers so I I took that and so but I didn't take any more tests there was a 8 year old 3 it was actually the sweeper driver test but I was okay with just driving a flush fluster so that's good I've been retired 21 years now, so it's cool. I never went to college. I'm not a book person, so Linda Lewis, she's too smart. She was on the honor roll at school, but I, I just kind of did what I had to do to get through high school, and but I don't, I don't read books or anything. To me, reading books is work, so I avoided, I I took, studied for the ham test, probably the last time I went to the books, but I just don't remember stuff anyway. I'm kind of like my dad, he said he would have the daily lessons and they'd have a test and then he couldn't remember what he was doing, I'm kind of the same way, I don't remember stuff, so wouldn't do me good. So anyway, I think Linda Lou and I are going to go shopping today. You can't be stubborn, PVW. You're back to now.
