Yes, although I work for a utility company rather than retail. They're mostly around health and safety, ethics and properly protecting personal data. I don't mind the safety ones tbh, people have suffered life changing injuries that were avoidable if they'd just acted more intelligently.utility company , so you are out in the field going to people's houses? idk easier just have a person show you.

Constantly absent due to work and alcoholism. When he was around the only part of parenting he seemed to enjoy was yelling. Had and probably still have an anger towards him for it which made me exaggerate how bad he was at times. Though I guess part of that was how even when he did something nice he could be really miserable in the way he acted at least part of the time.supposedly they sell a huge huge number more of mother's day cards than father's day cards.

On their website the metal bracelet is adding another 100 dollars to the price, though honestly I'm debating doing that. That way I can just buy a leather strap later and have both. And I'm not really a fan of the day/date version, if we're talking about the same one where the day/date is displayed at 12 o'clock.What's the cheapest you are seeing this now? Supposedly watch prices are up across the board. How do you feel about repairing broken watches? Aren't many times watches are like tvs?

Yes you can get excursions through the cruise line itself. They often have a representative come with. If it's delayed they have radios to tell the ship.

Most of what I did were same day repairs, so that was on the job training. We were situated in a shopping centre which simply isn't a good environment for breaking down movements for a service, so those sorts of jobs went to our workshop. Even those were still usually quicker than going to the manufacturer through the jewellers since we were able to keep everything in house rather than sending them all over the place.yeah that is very frequent. Have to send it away to do big repairs, wonder why they do that.

Yes, pretty much anyone with a watch worth repairing wanted it done properly and sanctioned by the manufacturer. We would only use genuine parts unless they literally didn't exist anymore. With all the jewellers within a few minutes walk, our advantage is that we could do repairs in house rather than having to send them all the way to the manufacturer which was way faster even for stuff that went to our workshop.did you need credentials for watch repair, you no longer do it? --- "That won't work Boss, hide the target in a place they're unlikely to be found"---GZ |
