Man weather is crazy. If my damn foot slips off the clutch one last time, I'm driving bare footed. But I'm at work right now, I work security for apts, we are suppose to do foot patrols around property but it looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of vehicle patrolling around for the next couple days.

I used too 4 yrs ago I would just keep a blind eye to it and remember that it was my job and I got payed very well doing it. And anyone would trade me in a minute because of the pay.

I can see the rain...from my office window

Posted by *EPIK* (Member # 7481) on :

I work in the rain servicing fire extinguishers & it sucks. Its even worse that you can't really do the job correctly when its raining because if you get any water in the extinguishers while refilling them, it pretty much ruins the chemical inside...

I'll work in the rain, doesn't bother me much.

Posted by 04 S281 (Member # 9229) on :

back in 06-07 i was working as a ramp tech out at Sac international airport... rain or shine. That job sucked but it was interesting... nothing like working around $90,000,000 aircraft with hundreds of peoples lives depending on them. and a bunch of flunkies doing math that can effect wether they crash or not.

Posted by 87droptop50 (Member # 7185) on :

I only work in the rain when trees go down on city streets or dangerous places. Besides that I'm in our shop fabricating something!

Posted by CHP2981 (Member # 9240) on :

I'd rather see rain than this shhhhhh any day.

Posted by Slowback67 (Member # 6348) on :

^ My cousin drove doubles from Reno to Sac..... I feel your pain. I almost got hit in the rain by a dumass bitch texting while driving. She almost went under my trailer. [Embarrassed]

Posted by CHP2981 (Member # 9240) on :

Are you doing 4-10's?
On the bright side, driving can be borring..... But it beats having to deal with dumbass coworkers. I work in our WHS when I'm not driving and it drives me nuts being stuck in our building. [Embarrassed]

I drive a beer truck too.... And I HATE working in the rain! Socks and boots soaked by 5am. I'd rather be outside and on my own hauling cases all day instead of being behind a desk pushing a pencil. [patriot]
