Well the ticket volumes are picking up and every ticket is a puzzle trying to figure out my best way to keep from losing a boot in the mud.

Another sign that spring is definatly here ,the local Dig line companyis bringing back the poor souls who had the winter off ,some of them I figured would not be brought back as this company ,has told some of the QUALITY,locators in their ranks that they cost to much to employ and that they can hire a pair of monkeys at 7.00 per hour for what they pay them ,and that they were being let go ,or the other way they can work 8 hour a day ,and keep their jobs ,and for-go their payraises forever ,these clowns are even making some of their locators drive over an hour to some of their locates before they are on the clock,I always thought this was illegal(ask Dycom ,ask Locating Inc)duh if you are in a company rig you are on the clock,well it was good to see some of this companys actual quality workers back on the job ,it amazes me how thier biggest SCHMUCKS!!!!worst linepainters on the job seem to work all year long ,A-FREAKIN MAZING !!!!!,I just hope that they do not effect my insurance rates this year,SEMPER FI!!!!HAPPY SWAGGIN

We haven't had any metal flags for about 8-9 years. I still miss them though.

The plastic flags stem from a law suit about seven years ago when a boy lost an eye "because" of the metal flag. I believe that was back when it was still Ameritech.
