Where in Florida Care?

Happy new year Dis.
Self Employed Bricklayer/Stonemason or whatever else you want done.This recession is starting to bite here, we are suffering.
I actually was in the crime blotter last week, I can post it if you guys want to see it.I have had a gun and several knives pulled on me. I have also been jumped, hit, kicket, hit with objects and hurt.
Dude, that sucks! If you are not allowed to carry weapons for self defense, I hope at least the retailer has a budget for providing you with training in hand to hand.
They do provide you with training, but I already knew everything I needed to know as ive been doing this kinda thing for 12 years. Typically it doesn't go down to bad, you can normally get them to the ground and cuffed before anything bad happens. Up until recently there were almost no fights or wrestling matches, it would be once every few months. It would normally be the ones on parole or people with an extensive criminal history. I could almost always talk them back inside the store and even into handcuffs by just keeping them calm. Also I almost never used my handcuffs up until the last six months or so when the economy really started to tank.
We are also being hit by ORC(Organized Retail Crime) They come in and go out with a ton of stuff. Usually Alcohol, General Merchandice Products(Pharmacy, Makeup, Hair care, Razor Blades, baby formula etc) and Meat. They will come in usually atleast two people up to 6 or 7 and go out with full shopping baskets knowing the store employees arn't allowed to stop them. My largest stop was $2100.00 in liquor, thats a lot in a grocery store. That is also the guy who pulled the gun.
This winter I part timed as a taxi driver and quickly became adept at driving in circles and perfecting an exotic sounding accent. Borrowing a picture from a United Way poster for my family I garnered the highest tips of all drivers last month, United Way thanked me for the largest individual gift ever given by a cab driver, and I was nominated to the cabbie hall of fame.
Among my other accomplishments this year, I discovered the meaning of life, defined the characteristics of dumb luck, and improved suspender design. After hearing my yodeling women ask me to divorce my wife, children cry, and dogs bark in unison. I have made fireworks safe for children, cured ambiguity, and redesigned go go joints so everyone can see.
Last summer with just two weeks of practice I became an expert in rodeo, quickly taming the fiercest bull with lines from Shakespearean sonnets. One month I managed a space shuttle flight, refurbished toy soldiers, and lost more weight than Jared on my meatball and peanut butter diet. This allowed me to fulfill a dream to jockey in the Kentucky Derby.
With binoculars from the dollar store I discovered two new galaxies and my big toe is more accurate than the national weather service. I have studied the migration patterns of homing pigeons, calculated a leisurely drive to the closest solar system, and my advertising ideas have greatly improved tourism in Antarctica. But jeez, who am I to brag.
