We've been getting it as long as I can remember. They used to call for free subscription renewals, now they just email the renewal. It's legit.

Gee John, you require your employees to bathe and shower each morning? Would a potential employee have a chance if he only showered? lol jk!

I've been in this trade and with the same company for 14 years.

If you go to work to earn an income then you are serving a customer of some sort.

Even if you think you're just an anonymous number working at MegaCorp you likely have a direct supervisor that...

Funny if he's running service in that. Sad if it's a case of a fella having just cleaned out his work truck because he got laid off.

Would you have rathered the SOB wait until the day before Christmas to tell you "sorry you worked all week but I got no money to pay your wage".

I love the attitude of an employee who earns exactly what he was promised when hired who suddenly thinks that since the boss made money that year he now has a right to a piece of that pie too. Why?...

All I'll say at this point is, Merry Christmas to all and let's hope the next year brings us all more pay and less risk.

Freemind: Keep this in mind, when payroll is tight who do you think is...

My favorite is the employee that finds out we sold a job for say 8 grand and thinks every penny of that is going into my pocket. As if the equipment, shop building, trucks, payroll, coffee and soda's...

I have AT&T, my wife and I have BlackBerry Bold 9700's with unlimited data and the wife has the GPS activated on her phone (I use a Garmin) and that runs $98 per month plus taxes and surcharges and...

I remember Sandies. Hardees moved into their store back in 73' I think. We also had a "Burger Chef" back in the day too. Not sure how big the chain was but it seems like their food was a lot like...

Whenever I come across a unit with no name on it and it's not obvious who made it I just do a google search. Enter the model number and hit search. Always worked for me so far.

Hardees Monster Biscuit rules!

Burgers? I like Steak N Shake once in a while. Most fast food burgers are just bland.
I prefer to go to those little no name, hole in the wall places for really...

We have a christmas club savings plan. Employees can put whatever amount they want into it (some do $5 a week and others do as much as $75 to $80 a week) at the end of the year the company will add...

When you could no longer afford to do the job you originally had him there to quote you took away the biggest part of his margin on the sale. Once that went away, so did his desire to go above and...

I always considered myself to be a quick study, I tend to catch on to things pretty fast. I entered this field and figured that in about 6 months I should have a pretty good handle on it.

At the...

Seems odd that someone with such a strong personality could be swayed by faceless strangers on the internet.
And just for the record, I had no part in the hiring conversation.

Could be those...

I think you'll find that once you get into the field you'll soon see that 3 years isn't nearly long enough to learn all that you'll need to know.

Thanks for the gumball Popeye!

Is this the same company that impressed you with their ability to educate you?

I got into this trade because the opprotunity came up and it seemed a great deal better than my current situation. But, I fell in love with it just the same.

I began to notice that instead of...

For the past 5 years or so I've had to upgrade those Comfort Zone I zoning systems to the Comfort Zone II since the rotary T-stats are no longer available. The upshot is that the Comfort Zone II is...

You could do the math and then set the lock out temperature. It depends on how tight the house is but I usually start with a 25 degree heat pump lock out temp and a 40 degree furnace lock out temp.

Hey Jerry, what part of NWA are you in? I'm in Fayetteville.

Well, that doesn't sound anything like Risk. I was thinking you were talking about a version of Risk.

Risk is the best board game of all time.
