While most people would be out working for UPS or delivering pizzas, I have found myself working as a delivery driver for a local parts supplier.  As it turns out, it wasn’t my first choice, but when they did call, I could hardly say no – I needed a job.

But as time went on, I grew to appreciate the job that I did have.  Our store specialized in Suzuki parts and OEM Ford parts (weird combination, I know).  The job itself was pretty simple and for the most part pretty boring, but there were some perks as well.

The best perk of all is that I get to rub shoulders with mechanics and owners of some of the mechanic shops in town, and I have had the opportunity to see a wide variety of cars that I would have never seen.  Not only that, but the car repair industry is just like any other – it pays to know the right people, which turns out to be the second benefit of the job.

Will I be working here forever?  Well, I don’t know.  There are some things that I would like to do, and I was hoping to go to school someday, so I will just play it by ear.  In the meantime, I sure don’t mind what I am doing.
