Damon isn’t by himself
I did something similar. I was driving down a busy street looking for the right hundred block before I would go to the next street. I got distracted and stopped at the address on the street I was on instead of going up to the next one. The lady was expecting me, so I did the job and it wasn't until I was wrapping up that I realized I was at the wrong address. I figured, oh well, I got paid and I got into the van to go to the original job. As I was pulling out, a black van with a company name starting with c and ending with t pulls in right behind me. I bet he was surprised. I was just over an hour late for my real job but the lady was fine with that. Quite the coincidence that the same address but on different streets were having their carpets cleaned at the same time.More than a few carpet cleaners I know went into an unlocked house, cleaned all of the carpet, then got a complaint call that no one showed up and cleaned the carpet at the address they should have been at.
Someone had a surprise ( a damp and clean carpet ) when they got home!
I'm trying to imagine what one would do in such a case? They would have no idea who to begin to call to look into it.
You’re like the guy who spent two weeks stripping and waxing his little break room floor and now he’s an expert!I know plenty of high schoolers that I wouldn’t hire
nowhere did I imply that there are not unemployable people , high school age or not
to blankely state that it’s idiotic to hire someone of high school age shows ignorance
I had a friend of my oldest son work for me for 2 months in 2016
He turned down Harvard and just graduated from Georgetown University double major
Who told you we thought that?How do you think I know all I’m saying? Done it! Been there! HS, college, blah blah. Hell, I even have a high school Sr. to be Grandkid that I follow all over the US that’s #6 in her class of 700 and her boyfriend too. But I’m not leaving them in charge of anything while I go to the beach for vacation!
Many posts do take unforeseen directions.
To better understand Mikeysboard, read up on Greek Mythology. In this case, here is a brief summary of the fabled voyage of Jason and the Argonauts:
"Then, Jason sowed the teeth of a dragon into a field. The teeth sprouted into an army of warriors (spartoi). Medea had previously warned Jason of this and told him how to defeat this foe. Before they attacked him, he threw a rock into the crowd. Unable to discover where the rock had come from, the soldiers attacked and defeated one another."
Sometimes a seemingly straightfoward and innocent post is like that rock thrown among the warriors who sprouted from the earth.
Such is the fun, or the annoying quality, of this place at times.
If it gets to be too out of hand "Zeus" (Fred C) throws a lightning bolt and puts an end to it all.

One of my pet peeves, wearing headsets or earpieces on the job...for two reasons.
1. It is distracting, and contributes to mistakes.
2. It is disprespectful to customers and coworkers.
Ok, the third reason: I will not let you work with them because I don't like them.
Ya...once in a while....Or k.i.s.s for us dummies

Your people skills may be better suited to landscaping.I love wearing them. Keeps people from talking to me and allows me to ignore them when I want to
Also allows me to scare employees when they don’t know I’ve dropped in on a job unexpectedly
