You tie my tail shortly before beer thirty and we might have a problem old dog. :hmm3grin2orange:
ever notice the stupid mutts seem to have intellectually challenged owners?
I've gotten much better since the idiot I was dealing with left after I threw him off my crew at the ice storm in Arkansas. He was a useless distraction anyway.
More evidence in support of Sharkfin's opinion. If two guys on the crew are frequently involved in yelling, one of them has to go.
Yup, or until your getting little grey hairs in your ears and enough time has past that the telling of the stories won't matter lol Ohhhhhh the stories over the years but here is one that will lighten everyone up.What happens on the ROW, stays on the ROW.
I admit to a few shouting matches. I don't raise my voice any louder than I have to. I won't cuss them, or call names, but I will be heard.

It's very rare, and ends with someone being done for the day, or week usually.
When I'm on my own doing residential, it's all good or they go home.
I'm generally a good natured guy that solves things peacefully, but once I've past the edge the ante has gone up.
I'm open minded and creative, but sometimes things just have to be settled the old fashion way. It's not easy being in charge, mostly you can't tell who is in charge on my crew, but I will pull rank if I have to.
The way things are now with the recession i have one good guy and we get alot done.Have 2 or 3 guys you get one with an attitude.I think you have to set things straight with a new guy like explain that theres only one boss and how you want your crew to behave.I Worked for one guy who did not handle this on individual meaning would not stand up to him.This guy behaved like a little kid.One day i had enough and threatened to rearrange his crooked teeth.This is after he and another guy were playing games throwing things behind my back like little kids.The boss at the time yelled at me like im starting trouble.I have my own business now id thrown this guy out with in the first day behaving like that.I dont look trouble mind my own business and respect other regardless of the age or skills.This work is stressful enough.I like to take a break for 10 minutes some times during the day if we are really working hard and its hot.

Quite alot of time will have to pass for some of them. LOL!
That was a pretty funny story. Gave him a good story to tell the yuppies too.
I try to let the guys know that I'm not all business nor a company man. I'm just trying to make a living and get everyone home safe. Power trips usually lead to power falls. Thus, I try to help them understand that half the reason I get torqued is that they are forcing me to pull rank.
I looked him dead in the eye and said boy you are 22 and I am 41 and your boss,
Jeez, I thought you were like 70, 75. :hmm3grin2orange:
and yes, I am always lurking. waiting for opportunities like this.
