I used to work for a construction company, but I got layed off, so now I'm going to get my class A license, so we'll see where that goes :)

I manage a small office supply store that is owned by a local newspaper. I also help people with ads who want to sell items, such as: auto's for sale, real estate for sale, help wanted ads, etc., to be published in the paper, so it's an office supply store/and advetising office for the paper all rolled into one.
