So here's the deal...

I've been busy. Because my little curb address business is going nuts. We've getting some nice "assignments" lately, which take a lot of time, but pay a lot of money. And then the second supervisor I hired and trained quit. So I'm two for two in training and then losing good people. But I can't blame them. Like the first one, the second one took a job with 'benefits.' Geez! It's like they planned on getting sick and aging and then retiring! What pessimists!!

I still have an office lady, and she has stepped up to the plate and taken on new responsibilities. A very nice, and unexpected, bonus. Also, I hired a replacement supervisor. And when I put in my order, with the LDS Employment Agency of course, it was for a 'stay at home' mom who could work from home using the hours available to her. (The thing about Mormons who use the LDS employment agency, you can TRUST them!) But I have to train her from scratch. She knows NOTHING about painting addresses on curbs!

But now here's the thing that really has me jazzed. Or a variation on that theme... I think it's more the humor in it that has me going... Big T said that he's off now on Mondays and Tuesdays... He called me both yesterday and today to ask if I wanted to play golf. What an idiot question! Of course I did! But I couldn't. When I said it was because I was too busy, he made mention of his two new days off. So I immediately asked him how much he wanted an hour. He named his price and I immediately hired him. Only it wasn't a formal hiring. I still have to 'Jew' him down (Hey, it's okay for me to say that, as I am a big fan of Israel and loose Jewish women) to a more realistic hourly rate...

But can't you just see Big T driving around in my patented customer attractor, drumming up business and entertaining the crowds? I think he's a natural !!
