Subject: [PATCH] Try and fix ESX loading

So information and request for help.

The issue here is that my scripts require Job and Vehicle information when the script starts, to do a debug check if the job exists for the location.

ESX doesn't share this with the client for some reason, so this requires me to request it from the server side at script ensure.

This is causing issues because it delays loading of the rest of `jim_bridge` while it slowly requests `ESX.GetJobs()` table from server side

This is delayed even more when the script is placed towards the top of the server load order and it needs to load other things like MLO's

As its trying to load this the rest of the script carries on loading with missing information.

So it loads the script thinking there are 0 jobs and breaks it.

If anyone knows of a better way of doing this then please help.
The only partial solution is to start my scripts last in the server load order
