pro tip: carry it by the hand hold at the bottom of the neck of the vacuum. If you're dragging it or carrying it by the handle, just lol.
Where, if you don't mind me asking?
Is ESL a required or mandatory subject in the curriculum?
So are you not going to say your job? Your salary? Your prospects?
Do you bang the air hostess and have wild parties?
I used to be a logistics manager and used you guys a few times but consistently only because I had too good of a deal with the Conway group of companies and at the time American freightways were good to me also.....Pitt Ohio never seemed to damage anything and always delivered in a day.....the good old days
I took a summer job as a Kirby salesman after my sophomore year of college. Every morning all the salesmen would gather in a circle, clap our hands, and sing songs. If you sold a vacuum the prior day, you would go up on this little stage and ring a bell. You had to do a little dance and then go around the circle giving all the salesmen high fives.Suckception.
I remember being at my grandma's house as a kid and one of them Kirby salesmen came over to try and sell her one. She had him clean the front room and then said sorry I can't afford it. Lol. I was impressed by how effective it was though.
Fast forward 20 years and I move into a new place and I'm somewhat loathing the idea of spending a decent amount of money on a vacuum cleaner. I go through 3 I think from the goodwill and they are all terrible heaps of shot that don't really work.
So I step it up a hear gear and got the Craigslist ads. I see one of them Kirby ones for sale and give them a call and head over.
It's a 70 year old woman that answers the door, it belonged to her dead mother who got it new some years back and it had been chillen in a closet since. Still had some of the original carpet shampoo and all the accessories!
Here's a pic of one

Fucker weighs 3 tons and you have to put it in drive to move it. It's badass tho
Can still get the bags on Amazon
Wild times.
Fixed.
Courier. Good pay/hours, actually. No prospects at all, but the money is good so I'm ok with that for now.
I don't hate the company or anything I just feel like after all these years in Freight/Logistics I want to do something more rewarding. I have no idea what that is and my wife says I'm having a mid-life crisis so who knows.
Okay, I'll play then.
I'm an industrial tradesman. The money is good enough that I only work a few months a year in the spring and fall. It's been slow in the oilsands the last few years, but it hasn't affected my trade prospects.
I got into project management just before the crash, hoping to leave the coveralls behind, but ended up back under a hardhat when oil prices hit the floor.
Apart from being a professional story teller I also am a mechanic / technician (my job title sometimes varies)
I fix stuff.
Pay is good. Work is pretty chill for the most part and I get all the bells and whistles benefits wise. Progression is there down the line, although a different job wouldn't necessarily mean an increase in pay, by that I mean in 5 years time I expect I would just get my yearly increase each year and wouldn't expect a bump if I changed roles
For reals.
I am an accountant. Currently not working.
My prospects depends on where you go. Here in my hometown, there's seemingly few prospects if you only have a small bit of experience, don't know anybody and having a non-English looking/sounding name (yeh, I just wents there yo!).
Over east there are more prospects, but more people too. Please the real estate costs are fucking high and I had enough of dealing with that shit.
The pay depends. If you work for a small company or a public practice you'll earn little. In a big company or the public sector the pay's better. However, if you get enough experience to eventually become a tax agent and run your own practice the money's way better. That's why a lot of tax accountants eventually become a partner or branch out on their own.
I don't love it, but I don't hate it. Like most places, I think it depends on the people. I've worked in 2 places as an accountant. The first place (a small practice in Perth) I loved because it was 2-3 other guys mid-late 30s and they were chill as fuck. The second place in Melbourne was a large company where the CEOs kept taking mile after mile from all of us workers and expected us all to be happy because at least we still had a job.
I used to be a Policy and Research Advisor for the government here in WA. I'd rather do that because I'm good and more passionate at it. The government cut heaps of workers a few years ago though, hence why I ended up becoming an accountant.

Not really, the experience is very different from person to person. The one thing I'd reckon is m
Ost important would be learning the language.
He has phrases down. Nowhere near fluent. I can't wait for him to get settled so I can visit.
