...that requires at LEAST 2 trips to The Home Depot or Lowes to finally get it fixed?! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been that guy. Too many damned times. Now I write checks and enjoy my weekend while some other jerk ruins his holiday weekend with his head in my toilet. I'll tell you what, though. I've got two sons under the age of four. I'm going to do everything in my power to convince one of them to become a plumber. It's all upside: - No college for me to pay for - Free plumbing work for me - The kid will make a shitload (no pun intended) of money - You can't outsource the flow of excrement and water to India And when he comes home from work reeking of somebody else's feces, well, he won't be living in my house because he can afford his own. So I don't have to smell it. Yes sir. Being a plumber is the perfect job for somebody not me to have.
I like the plan Mook. May encourage the other one to become a commercial pilot so that you can fly free. A plumber and a pilot. Any parent's dream.
Well, in 20 years I imagine the planes will pretty much fly themselves. I think I'll encourage the other to go into plumbing too, come to think of it. I bet there's a high turnover rate in the business. Best not to put all my eggs in one basket.
you should encourage the other to be a nurse, assuming you aren't weirded out by male nurses. my mom is a nurse and that is pretty fucking clutch. "Hey mom, this seems funny when i bend this." or "mom, i have this weird popping and pressure in my ears" and et cetera. They too will have jobs forever like plumbers.
Maybe. But we went from nothing to WebMD (and a crapload of other resources) in just ten years. The Google search engine is only 12 years old. In twenty years are people going to look at House and say, "Wow--remember when people used to diagnose you?" You might just pop in a blood sample and a urine sample and have most maladies diagnosed for you. Sounds crazy, but did anybody think they'd be playing World of Warcraft with 15 year old Russians 20 years ago? But bedpans are bedpans. They'll still need changing....
in order: This had improved from just nothing, but that said when I had a bug bite/spider bite I have yet to full decide if it was poison or infection that caused my reaction. I am/was too cheap to go in under my current awful coverage. (Obama please!) I read that as "you might just poop in a blood sample" about three times before I actually read it. And I was playing Donkey Kong, Mrs Pacman, and Mario when I was 5 It would be interesting to try to evaluate the growth of the biotech and compare it to computer gaming. People will also need surgeries and IVs and yes bedpans! Maybe you should have a plumber, a cable guy, and then get your wife to pop-out a girl for the nurse?
Physician Assistants are the future. They can do more than nurses, can get paid near doctor salaries and don't have as much training and liabilities.
