    I know when we get the rare help in our group our Boss leaves us all of the 0 address tickets and gives the loaners the easier single address tickets. Might want to check that out b/4 you blast him too much.

    That kind of crap just makes you want to come back again to help out, the only good thing is the ot and great food if you go to cajun land.

    I am in the same boat dude! The area leader and myself end up carrying the greater load for our territory. Pisses me off some days.

    Heading home in the morning, and I can say I have been here to long. The first day we were here we went to the meet spot with the crew we were to work with. They went over their timesheets and to my surprise they had one guy over 50 hours and one under 40. The rest were around 42 to 47. There lies the problem. They are far behind and do not lift a finger to help themselves. The guy I am helping called in sick again yesterday. I would rather help a crew that gives all their effort to help each other and not go home early. We are here to get the work done and dig you out of this hole that was created by Hurricane Ike. But it only works if there is total effort by all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My boss asked me if I wanted to go back to Texas. Stupid me said yes. So I will probably leave after Thanksgiving. It is really hard to pass up the work when it is there.

    See that is where mgt should be stepping in and MAKING these guys work. I haven't understood that mentality, if you bring in outside help, then it better be because everyone you have is running the a$%*& off, not just because they can get it done in their own time schedule.

    when we go out of town we get the work no one wants to do during the week.....the long projects, ditch jobs, multiple addresses on one ticket, sloppy muddy jobs, major intersections...you know those jobs where you do about 10 and call it a day.....
    wise men talk because they have something to say and fools because they have to say something....plato
