Wow. Bioengineering , software designer, sculpting . I feel stupid now. I need some water. Wait...how do you make water again???🤪

Well, to be fair to yourself, they didn't ask what our jobs were when we were 21. 🤪 Then I would have said: library book shelver... but mostly surfer/bum/class ditcher.

I started out as a Tape Application Specialist .. Ok, I made that title up. I applied foil tape to the seams of recently insulated duct work behind the 'experienced' men. It was a summer job that lasted 11 years. By the time I left I was 3rd in the company. When they did work that was going to be where people could see it, I was called in before anyone else. No, it wasn't just tape by then :P Commercial Insulation ... there's more to it than most people know. Who am I kidding, most people don't even know it's a thing.

I made it a few years with another company before I got hurt and had to stop .. welcome to the retail IT world where I spent the next, hmmm, 14 years?  then on to my current position of Network Administrator for a local broadcasting company

hows that for a 'what I do' summary?
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

I do intend to attend college. I wanted to get my SRS first though. Then when it came time to start my dad asked if I could possibly wait until this fall because his finances were still recovering from my SRS. That's very understandable. Between my Surgery, hotel and airfare for him,myself,Tyler and Tristan he spent a total of almost $30,000. Of course I told him I would wait.  It dawned on me that you guys probably wonder how a cop can afford that kind of expense. No, my dad doesn't make a lot as a cop. He does it. Because he enjoys it. Not the power trip over other people, he enjoys helping people who need help. Actually my dad is one of the nicest policemen in Denver. You would Actually have to MAKE him get mean with you. As long as people behave he will let them use his cellphone to make a call before he takes them to jail. If they have cigarettes on them he will stop a block from the jail and let them have a last cigarette before they go in. They have to smoke in handcuffs though. Lol. But niceness doesn't apply to pedophiles, wife beaters, child abusers or people who commit a hate crime.

But anyway my dad inherited a lot of money from his grandparents. How much I don't know. It's really not my business. Tristan is so weird about money. He's not stingy by any stretch. He just HATES to owe anyone money.
My dad payed Tristan's airfare. The only reason he let him was because he couldn't afford a first class ticket at that time but he really wanted to go with me. After we got home, at the end of Tristan's work week he immediately payed my dad back for the plane ticket and his half of the hotel room he and Tyler shared. Got pride much? No one likes a sponge of course but geeze, he didn't have to pay him back all at once. Tristan also pays my dad rent. My dad has told him he doesn't need to do that but he insists. I told my dad he just not accept it. He told me that doing that to the type of man Tristan is, would be very insulting to him. Whatever. Must be another male pride thing.🙄

That sounds awful! I can't even imagine how hot you got doing that. Our attic is very stuffy in the winter and an oven in the summer. The A/C guy had to go in there to fix a duct and when he came out he was totally soaked. Poor guy.

Not quite the same work, still hot and nasty from ditches to attics, pipes to duct work. The hottest attic that I remember was a school. They added a 2nd roof and we had to work between them. The thermometers in there topped out at 140F they stayed pegged at the top past the last marking. I wore wire frame glasses at the time. I had to keep them at the end of my nose because the frames would burn my skin.

And I would have said factory floor worker, assembling devices for power companies!

Right after college I worked in a beauty supply warehouse as assistant manager for about five years, then I worked with an insulation company going out and insulating homes and barns. After I got married I went to seminary and have been (get this) a pastor for over 26 years now. I am currently a pastor nearing retirement. But all this may change because I am transgender and the church I am a part of does not accept this lifestyle. So I'm kind of in a tough spot because I plan to transition soon.
