Ticket Counts

**OVUS1** · April 28th, 2009, 10:27 AM

Our ticket counts are way down. South Georgia is down about 30%, and several other states are down double digits as well. Good thing is that damages are way down too (cause and effect I guess).

You guys seeing the same thing?

Tickets loads where I am were down a little bit last year, but recently they have been going through the roof to the point where a lot of folks are having some trouble keeping up. A lot of the new volumes are do to larger projects like FTTP, but ticket volume is still ticket volume.

Well according to my boss this morning our numbers are already higher this year than they were last year.

And, we still cannot find enough staff.

Got called back to work on Tuesday morning and in four days have accumulated 45.5 hours.

My fat ass is hurting big time after slacking all winter.

Crap, this keeps up I may actually lose this Veranda cover I accumulated over the winter!
