    Jeremy,
    every year the boss brings on one RINGER!
    one guy with all the experience, training and accounts!
    The Michael Jordan of hvac!
    Ever year I learn that these guys are never what I thought they would be!
    Monday we get a new MJ!
    He has two HUGE accounts!
    Maybe this will be the guy!

    I used to be excited about getting these great guys!

    Now I just wait to see how dumb they are!
    Ofcourse he will get a new truck, a whole krap load over scale and who knows what else?

    This year, we're actually getting a little company paid training.

    Happy 2011!!!!!!


    I've learned so far that there AREN'T many Michael Jordan's in HVAC/R work. You might have guys who are very good at this or that, but the guy who is VERY good at a broad cross section of this trade is an exceptional man indeed and worth more money than any company could afford to pay him.


    This website and a couple of others have REALLY helped to broaden my knowledge base and sharpen my diagnostic skills.

    yeah!
    there may be a Michael Jordan of HVAC??

    I am starting to think that a guy who just works hard and shows up every day! gives 100%, and cares about his company and customers AKA "shoppy" is about as good as it gets!

    a little birdy told me that Andy Shoen took but did not pass the CM exam!!!!!!!
    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You know, even knowing you and what you went through (as well as anyone can through the magic of the internet anyway) I find it hard sometimes to make time for family.

    Frank said in another thread that he's used to working all the time and his family is, too. I think that is something that affects a lot of HVAC guys.

    I try the best that I can, but sometimes....... It just doesn't feel like I do enough.

    Oh well, live, learn, love and do the best you can while you're here, I guess.
    seems all i do is work.................

    He was listed as a CM in the RSES Journal, if I recall correctly.

    I think you're right about the guys, though. Those that show up and CARE about the job they do are generally the best guys.
