     I happen to be the best at my job than anyone the parking office has ever   
   had, save one guy many years ago.  And I broke his record long ago.   
     I like to joke they can't do without me.  And in many ways they can't.   
     I've been there since January '02, (save for a couple of years I've been   
   "retired" and even then I'm asked to return to train people).     
     I even "wrote the book" on training, literally.   
     When the old supervisor left I was tired of he said/she said ways of   
   doing things and sat down one weekend and wrote the current training manual so   
   everything was in black and white and it all the same for everyone.  If in   
   doubt, refer to the manual.  (My t   
      Both my civilian and security supervisors said that I knew more about my   
   job than anyone else did.  The job itself, how to handle people (I use   
   humour a lot), the little ins and outs I pass along, etc.  Whether the other   
   person uses that, does the job, etc

     I like the bumper sticker: When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have   
   guns.   
      
   > I think it's easy enough to ensure legal guns aren't fed into the illegal   
   side of things. . .    
      
     That isn't always possible, just as keeping anything from being stolen.   
     One can have all the gun laws on the books, make it tough to get one,   
   ammo, et.  But the bad guy isn't going through all that to get a gun.  He will   
   get his from his friendly neigbhourhood gun dealer's trunk.   
      
   > I don't own a gun, & am fine without one    
      
     Same here, but I'm a proud member of the NRA and support gun rights.   
     The last time I recall holding a live gun was in the Navy 50 years ago.   
     We had a Marine detachment, security for the admiral onboard.   
     One day this Marine was using old paint cans tossed overboard for target   
   practice and hit it multiple times as we cruised along at sea.    
     I watched a couple of minutes, telling him he was very good.   
     He handed me his sidearm and and wanted me to do the same.   
     I never came near that floating can.   
     He said I wasn't very good.   
     I pointed to the 8" turret behind me saying that's what I fire and seldom   
   miss.  :)
