Do I get a box of crayons as a signing bonus?

[Mike Leary]

You let me get all the way to WA and then hang the sign out? I can take a hint.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Good luck. Maybe I can train somebody for you when I get up there. Still waiting on the house to sell....

Oh gawd, they'll all be talking like Texans before we know it!

[Kiril]

Texans before we know it!

I'll buy it if you throw in a box of crayons and a block of cheese.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Oh gawd, they'll all be talking like Texans before we know it!

I think they'll live with that when they experience the legendary Texas work ethic.:)

[DanaMac]

$200k a year and I'm all yours. :) And that's a steal right there.

Oh I forgot the perks:

Every holiday paid, including Patriots Day (that's today dontcha know)
Every other Friday off
Wednesdays off after 3:00 - or whatever day has the best Happy Hour
I don't touch a shovel - digging or for snow

:)

[Wet_Boots]

$199K and I'll even touch a shovel now and then. :p

[hoskm01]

Took the laptop with me in the van today... Posted an ad on CL for the position, holy crap! Lotsa unemployed peoples, not many with experience.


I had an epiphany today that a smoker on the install trailer would be a good idea. Ill wait for Cowboy Bob to get up here and look into it.

[WalkGood]

Get a really big trailer with partial enclosure and you can also offer "room and board" too.

[Mike Leary]

That's all we need is to have a crayon eater for a boss. :dizzy:

I know I don't have to tell you this, but wait for the right one.

[Mike Leary]

I know I don't have to tell you this, but wait for the right one.

You just did, and you're right. I've hired too many guys that "claimed" to have experience when they actually had experience with schlocks and had to be let go; it's almost impossible to break bad habits unless you are standing over them with a 2x4 all the time.
I'd rather hire someone who had the passion and train him myself; that way the bad habits he learned were mine.

[Wet_Boots]

Yeah, like he'd wind up in a tin twinkie haranguing pikers on the internet. :)

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

whats the offer?

[Wet_Boots]

He needs to see your resume first, Rotar. (and sending a text message that reads "Ix fgllgruy dhyvvnj" doesn't count)

[DanaMac]

whats the offer?

Oooohhhh!!! You can learn from two of the best - Matt and Peter - and take a beating from two of the best as well. Maybe I'll make it up for the occasional beating.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

whats the offer?

I'll let you use my remote and you get a brisket and two cases of beer every Sunday.

[DanaMac]

and two cases of beer every Sunday.

Shiner? or a local micro brew? That might sway me to move up north....

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

I support my local brewery. Plus it wards off the local allergies to drink the local brew.

[bicmudpuppy]

4 day work week, 3 hots and a cot, and I'll work for half what Dana wants and I'll commute :) I need Thursday-Saturday for HS sports and a week off in the late fall for State playoffs.

[DanaMac]

Pretty soon all these yahoos will bid against themselves to where they pay YOU for the privilege of working :laugh:

[hoskm01]

whats the offer?
Commensurate with experience.

You get your own van, and you can have my hurtin knees. Overtime etc. Busy year ahead. Room to grow.

60 hour weeks in the season?

if yes when tell me when.

[hoskm01]

Typically 50 plus hours, sometimes 60, during the season. Installs on the weekends, service most of the week. When can you be here?

He's got a PHISH concert to deal with first. I will say this. Eddie may be all over the map mentally but I'd hire him myself. I sent him a text from downtown FC telling him about all the cute CO girls I was seeing while sucking on a Micro at an outdoor ****.

[Wet_Boots]

Stay out of those caff-ays, dude :)

Lets hear it, ED. The reviews are in. Phish might even play in Denver sometime.

[hoskm01]

Hello? Is this thing on?

[Wet_Boots]

He sent me a text. "Yck flbble ngsolq"

[DanaMac]

Hello? Is this thing on?

Passed out at another Phish concert I assume.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Hello? Is this thing on?

Eddie is very emotional. Just take it as I want to do and keep hunting.

[Mike Leary]

Hello? Is this thing on?

I assume you talked with Brandon?

[hoskm01]

I assume you talked with Brandon?
Havent yet. Should, though Pete's recommendation is worth a ton of Platinum in my book.

[Mike Leary]

Havent yet. Should, though Pete's recommendation is worth a ton of Platinum in my book.

Yup, that could be a embarrassment to everyone involved, especially you.

[hoskm01]

Yup, that could be a embarrassment to everyone involved, especially you.
Whats that? Rotar moving out until just after the Phish concert?



I calculated my above listed statement.

A ton of Platinum, at the average market rate over the last 30 days, would be worth $159,783.77. Thats a good reference, if I do say so.

[Mike Leary]

You know what I mean, Mr. Smart-ass.

[hoskm01]

You know what I mean, Mr. Smart-ass.
Hey, there was no smart-azzness involved there. Petes recc of Ed changed my mind. Flakin on the lunch did my opinion in, but Im willing to give the chance.


I PM'd him, we'll see.


Hows the NW again?

[DanaMac]

You know what I mean, Mr. Smart-ass.

Smart-ass is better than a dumb-ass or a stinky-ass

[hoskm01]

Smart-ass is better than a dumb-ass or a stinky-ass
I shower weekly. N o stinky azzz

[Mike Leary]

Hows the NW again?

Damn straight; one of my old clients finally unloaded one of his properties, so we are back on track to improve his new site which is the one with the cool cistern supply system I put in last year.

Nothin like free-water!

We had a small power increase, but his potable water bill was reduced to zip.

Throw some PV's on the roof and give him the bill.

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

I'll stick by my recommendation of Eddie. But he is prone to over promise and sometimes his wants and words get ahead of his thinking and can do.

He's the same age as my daughter. You encourage but never admonish. He is struggling with what all young people his age struggle with. "THE BIG PICTURE." In time he will plot his life more carefully and choose his words more succinctly.

Downfall is lack of oxygen. Prone to skin cancer.

Must be from being closer to the sun huh? lol

It's funny how many people actually think that.

Who needs a salary when you get scenery? :)

I didn't know this was an age thing (witness the off-topic forum).

[FIMCO-MEISTER]

Be more specific I'm curious as to which thread in particular. Did you watch the whole Zeitgeist movie? That was CREEPY.

Not yet. There were 3 of them, all of them over an hour long.

Which thread in specific ......... all of them!

Quote; I had an epiphany today that a smoker on the install trailer would be a good idea.

Hey, I want the job if your going to install a smoker. Smoked brisket and ribs for lunch everyday thats what I'm talking about:laugh: Oh and I'll do a little work in between adding wood to the smoker.

[Mike Leary]

Oh and I'll do a little work in between adding wood to the smoker.

After tasting your brisket, I'd have you on the smoker all the time (except for margarita breaks). :clapping:

[Without A Drought]

I'm sure, between you and matt, i'm thinking CO may be worth a couple of years. tough to leave family and friends though.

maybe i'll reevaluate towards the end of the season.

now though, i'm lamenting what appears to be the end of "chuck". sad
