and just like that, down to two.

[Mikey P]

Lost another guy.


can't blame him for a nano.



fook.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yeah that sucks. Always hard to lose staff.

And people think cleaning carpet is the hard part of this business. It's training, managing, retaining, employees where the difficulty lies.

Any half wit can sling a wand...no offense to Jimmy or Marty.

It all depends on what level you're at in this business. When I first started, slinging a wand on those big jobs was pretty hard with crappy equipment.

Now I've graduated to needing a full time tech, Hiring the first employee is always the hardest. At least for me it is

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Who, besides Davis, is left?

 

[rick imby]

With all the people moving north to California you should not have any problem finding more help. Do they have to be able to speak English?

 

[Mikey P]

Who, besides Davis, is left?

Ely

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Good to know. Ely is great. If you get some qualified people before March, I'll make arrangements to get them trained when I'm in Palm Springs.

 

[FredC]

Tell them that is not acceptable...there are 4 spots on the meet our team row

 

[Nomad74]

My crew consists of a 9 and 12 year old. They don't have school today. I was going to leave them home but they both begged me to come help. So okay, I folded. We always have fun.

Anyway, what a pain Mike. People are too soft. I think I may have found a helper. I was in a doughnut shop and saw this guy working among all the little Vietnamese women. He looked out of place. I asked him how much he got paid. He said $10. So I gave him my card and told him to call me if he's looking to make more. After our conversation he seemed pumped. We'll see.

After the fall of Saigon, we had a number of Vietnamese people come to work for both our cleaning and restoration companies. One had been an officer over there. They worked hard,and were cheerful and respectful.

They saved up their money and eventually all went on to owning restaraunts or clothing stores as I remember. I learned a lot about their culture, and life, from them.

I forgot to mention, the kid working was a whitey. Not that it matters, but he did look out of place among all these little women.

 

[Mikey P]

There is a sweet spot for a company like ours, we've just yet to find it.

4 guys stole all the profit.

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve always been nice to you Chavez.
That’s over now!

 

[Mikey P]

Ely can't find the keys for the AT this morning.

Has to drive an hour to go get the spare set the due who is leaving has.

Gets back and the batteries are dead....

 

[rick imby]

It can be really frustrating losing and then having to train employees. After being burned a few times I had a lot of trouble trusting most employees too.

Oh joy. It's going to get worse?

Good thing about a slide it, easy to jump off the truck, or vise versa.

Yes being burnt has happened to a few of us as well.

I was warned by this employee's Uncle not to take him on. This was 20 years ago.

Me knowing better decided to mentor him.

I had a large house then and gave him a room at reduced rent. I paid him well.

He stole about 3 Grand
He lost his licence without telling me.
He drove my van recklessly and was in a collision. The other vehicle was written off. My vehicle had 7 grands worth of damage and was off the road for 2 weeks.
Insurance didn't cover either vehicle and I had to pay 22 grand.
I have never spoken about the final thing ever but sometimes there might be a time which is now. The statutory rape of my daughter at 15. It was consensual.

It was the closest I ever came to killing someone.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I'm so glad I didn't face that. Perhaps a weakness in my character...he'd be dead.

Should have killed you'd have only served 3-5.

 

[Nomad74]

Very sound legal advise.

 

[JohnHawkP]

Maybe

I wouldn't serve time.

2 scenarios

Set it up as a suicide

Or

Dispose of the body so it won't be found. Have a rock solid alibi. Tell no one.

Leave no traces forensic or digital.

I think they wanted to go to Wendys

I've been very good. I started counting calories and limiting my soda and fast food intake. I haven't had a baconator in weeks. I've lost 10 lbs so far. I'm currently 217lbs. My goal is to get to 185 by Feb if I can. So far it's going well. I log everything I eat on a app on my phone. It's really helping me.
