Pellet heads!! What's up today?

I hear you. Unfortunately the younger generations have no idea what you're talking about.

 

yup......

Although I scored big time a few months ago when a kid came in looking for a job. He graduated from an automotive school and was tired of working for AutoZone as a grunt. He is a hard worker, willing to learn and not afraid to get his hands dirty.....tough find these days and I knew I wanted him from the day he walked in the door

 

I have a contract worker working for me right now that was the same way. I knew before the interview was over I wanted her. After she left the interview, I told the IT supervisor who is in charge of hiring contract employees for computer work to go offer her the job before somebody else gets her.

 

All blown up there Steve'O. Calling it good!

Gas in the tank, Pellets in the Porch room & Beers in the Fridge.

 

Or as I like to say...."good enough"

 

Be safe my southern fellas
Not a time to be foolish
Family is most important
Will see each other tomorrow or the day after

 

There's always a few who can't seem to follow protocol to park on the other side of the building during snow. I feel like going ape chit and running the plow blade through the cars. I'll YouTube it if I do.

 

Pile it up right in front of them.

 

got about 8" so far snowing and sleeting hard right now, we are all home for the day

 

This kid came in off the street without knowing we were hiring. He was canvasing the area for the day looking for something (that in itself was a plus as young people dont do this anymore and it showed initiative) and had a few applications in . One to a machine shop and one to a larger manufacturing company that is known to be very good to work for and that was the one I was worried about. I spoke with the owner who had already met the kid for a few minutes and he liked the kid right off too.

After the service manager met with him 2 days later with the same impressions, I got the owner to offer him a good starting wage without trying to low ball. My offer was giving him a 4 dollar/hr raise from AutoZone and that we would train him from nothing (in relation to MFP equipment) knowing he had mechanical aptitude and a college grad.

When I called him with the offer, he wanted to think about it and would get back to me after the weekend so I pushed more and also asked if he had any more questions. I called him back after a few minutes and put him on the spot asking him what questions or concerns he had with making his decision right now as I pointed out that I was giving him exactly what he was asking for, he though about it and took the job-win for me and him

My service manager told me a few weeks after he started that he jokingly mentioned that I strong armed him into taking the job-my reply was you bet your azz I did

 

Not enough snow yet, make sure to give them a few feet of packed chit

 

Would it be too obvious to plow them straight in instead of a berm from a sweeping plow

 

better not let the missus know about that!

about 4 inches of snow now

 

Me too. Working the day job from home today so my commute home doesn't turn into a 2.5 hour nightmare. However, still have to go to my night job - when the storm is supposed to be at its worst

 

Unlike

 

yea....sigh....working today as well.....maybe not a full day, we'll see. Yea, have had folks in for pellets today......streets not plowed.....those folks are crazy. How about this? PLAN AHEAD!
Not to mention my girlfriend is marooned at my house, since they closed the CT roads, apparently. God knows what she's doing while I am at work.
