Well tonight brought one of these good idea, bad application stories.

Working all night can be a drag if it weren't for the radio, CD player, or some other entertainment since you barely see any people. Then again, sometimes the drivers will provide my needed entertainment and last night was one of those nights.

Apparently one of the drivers really did some shoddy work at one of the mall and the supervisor called him on the radio. I would have called the fool on his phone not to embarrass him, but that's another story for another day. Anyway, let's listen into this conversation.

Supervisor - Frank: This is L-15 to L-1 Greg, do you copy?

Driver - Greg ------------------------

2mins later Frank: This is L-15 to L-1 Greg do you copy.

Greg - I copy

Frank AT Costco you didn't do the whole job what happened?

Greg - I did it..

Frank - I am in their lot the sidewalk wasn't cleaned, nor the corners

Greg - uhhhh

Frank - Why didn't you do the job as listed on your sheet

Greg: It's dark

Frank - Greg we work during the night

Greg -------------------------------------


I feel sorry for Greg, his train of thought was derailed at the station :laughing7:

I worked nights on a hilltop, lonely old gas station at the edge of San Antonio. That was 1971-1972(I think). It was so lonely even the robbers never went there. I used to sit outside the office, gazing at the lights of the city and read books that were ultra liberal. It fanned the desire in me to get up off my hippy butt, go to college and do something with my life. So I did and it made me the useless S.O.B. that I am today. OMG, quick, go get a day job.

I've worked nights at a lot of jobs in the last 50 years . Most fun was at a whiskey still . 20 years of it was in an underground coal mine . The day shift guys only saw sunshine on days off . That was scary to me . I emerged from that hole most mornings into a rising sun and was reborn . :hello2:
