Eight-hour days are for pikers.

Considering a few of us could generate thousands of dollars of work in about fifteen minutes, I'd say it's a slap in the face.

It is a neat area, much like the Seattle scene. Wonder if they got any RM or Calsense clients?

Thought about applying but I might be moving to Texas instead to be an irrigation inspector.

Well, we have the pump site with the 7 Eagles. Proposing DX2's and Eagles as a backup at a clock replacement for one of our clients. 2 now, 4 more to come, same site, as the others crap out. Also suggested Calsense, ET water and Signature as alternates. They want options, RM is, by far, my top choice, and they know it. I want the new wireless weather station for the Oasis system on the Eagles, if I can. Nice setup. The replacement account is willing to go top of the line.

Well, if it's first come - first gets the job, then I think I can be there in an hour and a half. But I don't do weekends, nights, winters, holidays, Thursdays, Election day, tax day. I also need an extra day off on either side of a holiday, numerous Fridays for long weekends for ballooning trips, late starts on Tuesdays for early morning fishing, 2 hour lunches for hiking, and a half hour nap from 2:30-3:00. I will also need a company phone, company vehicle with 4WD, 2 weeks vacation to be taken during the working season - not winter, laptop, remote, GPS, and my own office with a view of the Rocky Mtns. And I need to start in the 6 figures. Sound good Matt? :laugh:

DAMN, I at least offered to get paid by percentage of revenue for not working!! I'll even do weekends, but I still only want a 4 day week and a bunk to crash. I might even consider working two and two vs a straight 4 ;)
I do like the company 4x4 idea. Can I drive it back and forth? roflmao!

What I want this year, and what I can afford are two different things.

Weve got 3 more commercial contracts in the works, for maybe another 50 acres total to add to the list. At 115 acres of weekly maintained turf, Im gonna need a fulltime tech. I think thatll put us at 1400ish zones, 5 vertical turbines, 2 ponds and mayhaps a Calsense. I did all 65 acres last year on my own and it was a full week after you add a few upgrades, projects, installs and hangups to the mix. And Ive got to spend more time on the compooper this year too, no bien.

Sorry Dana, the Van doesnt have 4x4. Next year, though, when I get the Sprinter, it will be 4x4, diesel, stand up in the rear. I might just move into it.

My sprinter isn't 4x4, but it does great in the snow. The Sprinter is an awesome car. Plenty of power and handles great. I like my F150 that I usually drive, but the Sprinter is a lot roomier.
