I've had the same problems. Had guys call me the night before begging the work the next day, morning comes and no one shows up, no phone call. I call them no answer, I leave messege saying never to call me again.
I found a new guy, I hear he has trouble being on time. The first morning he showed up a few minutes late I put an add on craigs list before he got in. Later that day I got about 6 calls from guys wanting to work. I made it obvious that I was interviewing for his job and had guys coming out to job site that day to meet with me and try it out. New guy doesn't have a problem getting here on time now and he really busts his butt.
You just have to make it clear. We can't be their friends. Had a guy come in for day, his first day on the job he gives me the finger because he wanted me to cut an oak log in half for him to carry to the chipper so I asked my girl to carry it chipper so she did without hesitation, so he says thanks for showing me up and gives me the finger. I told him simply that I was new to being a business and not quite sure what the ediquette is but if I see his finger or hear another disrespectful word out of his mouth again that I will put him down. So the rest of the day he told everyone I had an attitude problem.
Who in their right mind on the first day gives the boss the finger? I think if I wasn't already in a good mood I would have knocked him to the ground.
Good help is hard to find.

Sorry Dan, I am having a good laugh again. Something about you straddling a limb uptop, cooking with your torch, and then smokin a dog $hit J. I don't want to see your pictures, it will ruin this beautiful image. Kinda like a piss poor music video ruins a song for ya.
Dan my toilet is filthy-ask oldirty he'll tell ya, I just cant seem to bring myself to do it! Please help??

See what i mean? Something gets " lost on the wire"? Who said anything about dog ####, this time?
it doesn't really matter if you want to or not... AND thanks for the boost.
Cripes, I have to stop yammering so much I can barely get a picture put up much less a video. By the time I get it done half of us will be dead.

GREAT! Then you are the one who can help me. See, I don't know ####. Nope.
So I got this camera and i got this mouse thing... get it? Like I said, only good at one thing I am really any good for, actually two.
The Dan is aware of his shortcomings but stands at his word. Its coming or may God have mercy on his soul.
I tried a few pics but they turned out small, not nice and big like yours. Everytime I try to download or do anything but type I get to a point where the computer tells me something is wrong, or just won't do it. Usually my wife tries to figure it out and after 20 mins of that I have to get the neighbor or a buddy to help.
I hate digital watches, to complex. The first thing I have to do is go through about a hundred or some file thingy things and name them so I know which they are... HEY! I'll start now!

Too bad you figured out how to use this internet thing. :monkey:
Twasn't easy, but the problem I am having is trying to get what I have taken from the camera to show up the same size it is in the file. I know I have to resize it but then just a little picture is shown, not good.
i posted the other two pics finally but I don't want to put up good ones that small. I don't know. Maybe it becasue the camera ain't good enough, I have no idea.
If you have seen my pictures ,guys, you know. I don't get it. I have basic system down OK but I have NO CLUE what all those little icons mean. Do YOU?

Dan I will tell you right now how I do it. Take the pictures. Go to Photobucket.com and get a free account, then download your pictures from the camera to your photobucket album. Open Arboristsite and Photobucket at the same time, then copy and paste pictures back and forth. Mine always come up the right size without me doing anything.
