Finally Got To Leave The Shop
A truck driver came to the shop said he locked his keys inside the cab. So I called my boss and we quoted him a price and he agreed.
It was a block away so I walked there with him. I called my coworker and asked how he opened a truck before and he told me to pick it on the driver's side.
So I took with me two hook picks, a tension wrench, and the graphite gun.
While walking there I was thinking to myself, what have you gotten your self into? But was also thinking that if I had a family and kids to feed then I have to make the money. I sometimes have to use psychology on myself because I don't have a lot of field experience in locksmithing and worry that I can't do the job.
It took me about 20 minutes to pick it. I picked it once but the tension wrench slipped on me and it locked up. But now that I knew I could pick it my confidence built up and within a few minutes more I got the door open.
I picked the passenger side door clockwise as I wasn't having any luck with the drivers side. Plus I had more shade while picking the passenger side door.
I collected my money and head back to the shop.
I thought about it a little later... and it's that the truck driver isn't making any money unless he's moving so I had to get him going. I have a friend who's a truck driver and that's what he told me.
The boss even gave me a $20 bonus!
