Well, that's a relief!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that one little, itsy bitsy, tiny, weeny, pip squeek of a hate mail got under your skin & you were packin' up & leaving.
You didn't mention anything about the benefit package. Sounds like the company is big enough to have one.
Are most of the guys regulars or is there a revolving door of employees? You could make foreman sooner than you think if the guys come & go often.
Good Luck at your new job.

HA! I am a man of steel, I can take your "mail!" I am not sure if he has a benefit package or not. I am not really concerned about that right now (I have never had one, I don't have children and my wife has one for herself).

I think about 6 guys or so are "regulars". Then he has some help for the busy season. I am hoping to move up pretty fast (it is just the type of person I am). We shall see.

Well, I will still be here but I am going to have to work Saturdays and probably longer hours (8 AM - 7 PM). So there will still be time, but less of it.

I have to ask....did you originally have the tree climbing job because of the opportunity to "move up fast?"

Hey Matt,

Congrats dude!

Good guys like you will always do well. You'll do just fine. Perhaps this is what you dad needs to see your side of things some of the time.

Bye for now,
-Brent

Well, it has been pretty much two weeks since I started my job. I haven't had to work a Saturday yet! I am working around 10 hours a day (plus lunch). Well, except today, I got off early.

The owner is a great guy to work for (so far) and I get along with all the employees soo far as well (I have the same personality in person as I do on here!) I work maybe 1/2 as hard as I did at my old job. I get less money but I am less stressed out (physically and mentally) at the end of the day/week.

I have done a wide variety of things including washing trucks, cutting grass, trimming bushes and shrubs, cutting down trees (yes tree work, but small stuff) and other odds and ends. I think this job will work out and I am looking forward to plowing snow in the winter time with him.

We shall see.

-Matt
