So what are you doing right now?

Did you find what I asked for?

No thats a quart, a gallon is the bigger size, like a milk jug

No that is 2.5 gallons, you drank that much milk as a kid?

Yeah dont touch that..

I told you not to touch that, let me find the first aide kit, dont move

Do you need something to do?

No, the other switch

DO NOT TOUCH THAT, BACK AWAY RIGHT NOW

Can you go outside and polish the hubcaps for a few minutes, please..

Working with my son is so rewarding. This is how we "bond" over lunch.

We work from the back of the room to the door.

Definitely agree with the plugging in the middle of the room.

Wait! Where is the measuring cup? Less is More!!!! There went your raise...

Helpers packing the van...priceless!!!

Walk the squeeggee vac in long lines like pushing a shopping cart, not like a vacuum cleaner...

Dont roll the extension cords around your arm...don't...you know what you just brought it


I am to the point of having them tell what they are doing, need to do and will do. If they can tell me, then it might get done properly...MIGHT

At least only one of you are texting. I can't tell you how many young couples I see at a table and they both are texting.

Sometimes I just want a hammer.....
:lol:
When we sit down to eat everyone pulls out their phones and eventually my wife will make a wise ass comment about how nice it is to have a family dinner together.

After that we all have to put our phones down and converse with one another. Its so 90's! ;)

I told you not to look at your phone if the customer is home.
Quit using the rake as an air guitar.
Pull the hoses out of my way, not out of my hands.

So it's not just me? All these things bother everyone else too? Are we just not giving them enough time or are they just stupid? My new guy has only done a few jobs and he's killing my arms pulling the hose so hard. My shoulder is already fd up. I don't need the extra tension. And point the blower into the room I'm in.

"don't put the sprayer on the customer's dresser"

"seriously.. if I don't want the sprayer on there, what makes you think I'm ok with the brush being on that same dresser???"

"hey man, will you fix the finish on that coffee table when the solvent leaking spray bottle leaves a ring on it?!? Put things on the ground!"

"now really, how many microfiber rags have we lost because you put them on customer's furniture instead of the floor?"

Guy lays out the pressure hose from the far room to the nearest room. I walk in and he just stands there ready for instructions. I said: this is your 3rd job today and you still didn't get the idea that ONE end goes to the far room the OTHER end goes to the truckmounted cleaning machine....the loud thing behind your seat in the van..."
