It's pretty lame that I don't have any knowledge on how to fix things. If anything ever breaks, we have to call a repair dude to fix it.
Like our washer (I'm living with 2 room-mates) shorting the circuit breaker. The only thing wrong with it was a broken pump, which I probably could have replaced myself, if I'd known that was the problem.
My Basic Electricty instructor (I'm taking Computer Engineering) basically reminded the class of this fact. That with each new generation, our handy-man skills decrease. Technology is getting more and more complicated, as well as expensive.
Meh.

I hear ya. My dad came from a line of carpenters. My grandpa taught him everything, but he didn't really get the chance to pass it down to me. I mean, my dad was a pharmacist, had a degree in microbiology, built our garage, did the plumbing in the house, some of the electrical, etc. It's just insane. His brother is the same way.
Oh, and he had some general knowledge about auto repair, lol.
I'm trying to think of something my dad can't fix.

But yeah... how did they learn all that **** throughout life, and then just not teach us?

I'll be moving back into my parent's place for the summer, most likely working at Wal-Mart [:Anna:]
Oh well, I've worked for Wal-Mart before, it's not that bad... aside from the stupid meetings at the start of every shift.

I'm hoping to work in the Electronics section (the only "good" section in Wal-Mart IMO), if not, Store standard (cart pusher, etc) so I can lose some weight.
I ******* love carriages. If only it paid like $20/hr, I could push carriages for the rest of my life.
