Started in 2000. Still killing it. It was a struggle compared to now. I would wait for coworkers to be at counter of gas station and I would be out in the van. Start talking shit over the Nextel.

Yes sir, working for my dad in the 80's calling from a customers house was real. We had nothing electronic at all. 1991 digital answering machine, we could check messages by hitting digits.
