    No unimportant jobs- school bus driver

    I thought it was a positive story myself. I knew a retired airline pilot who was a bailiff at a local court. He just wanted something to do that would get him out of the house. He was fun to work with.

    Volvo dealer used abrasive wheel to clean engine sump
