Being busy is good, means a good future (I hope).
I had a tech lock on mine for a little while but just didn't like it. I then put a small nite-eze clip on each side and use the paracord like you are talking about. PLUS If you use two paracord strings you can tie it around your waist or go over the shoulder either one.
I won't know about my future with the company for 60 to 90 days
Even if they decide to keep me I may not stay
I was the Safety Manager for two factories, two distribution centers, a combination factor and distribution center plus over 70 stores
With the way the new company structures their business, I would be looking after 1 or 2 facilities
Even though they seem like a great company, it would be a step down career wise
