Youngest daughter is working as a mechanic

[baymule]

I like it that she is doing what she wants to do and what she likes to do. Good for her! As a young woman, in 1978, I hired into a huge welding and fabrication shop, building oilfield pumping units. It was hard, dirty and if something fell on you, you were dead or seriously injured, I loved it. There were few women and men got in my face telling me I didn't belong there, that I was taking a MAN's job. I strongly replied back and told them off in no uncertain terms. Haha. And my mother wanted me to take an office job...……

Yay for your daughter for not taking a conventional "woman's" job. She can do ANYTHING!

She says: She learned it from me ~ she use to help with mechanical repair by getting as dirty as possible ```

I FIGURED THAT SHE LEARNED FROM YOU!

i learned a lot about swearing from watching Dad try to fix things...

 

[so lucky]

It's good that you had the patience to show her how to fix things, good that she wanted to tag along with her dad, good that she picked up a valuable skill in doing that, and good that finally the workplace has acknowledged her ability.

doing well here so far thanks! not too much snow on the ground now. i am just puttering around inside, doing a lot of reading and fiddling with computer stuff to keep my mind busy.

i understand your being bugged by something like that, when something isn't right then it gets me curious as to why and so maybe a good learning opportunity...
