    Apparently getting to work on time is a struggle for kids these days. It kind of sucks for those of us that have our #### together because we get lumped in with those idiots when looking for work.

    On the flip side, its lowered the standards to the point that if you wander through the door 10 minutes early every day you're golden.

    He could of probably drove to the site, unloaded them, and had lunch on my dime in less time.

    Oh, you know how it goes.. Way easier for me to sit her in my recliner, being an armchair quarterback than to actually do something.! :D:D

    Still just discussed looking at the loadboard for stuff leaving FL. Starting to think half these loads are posted by troll accounts. They are that bad.. :confused:

    Just some little company that does electrical work. Jobsite was out in front of a college art gallery, so we was sitting there on the street looking like tards for an hour waiting on the guy to show up.

    We did get to see two big purple firetrucks go by with lights and horns, that was... different.

    Ever thought of using a mini-split? Costs more but nice.

    Mini split units also run off 220v and some generators dont have 220v plugs.
