Got a call from a friend last week, said he was talking to the owner of a VERY well know local excavation company, and he said he was sick of "worthless, useless, whiny, late, drugheads!".
Long story short, I talked to the guy Sunday night, and he told me if I could be at the shop in town at 6:30, I had a 4 x 10 (at $15 and hour) job through the rest of this month, until school started, then I could work WHEN EVER I WANT!
Showed up yesterday at 6:15, HIT IT OFF with the guy, really went well!! Him, and one other guy (so three of us) are all that make up the company.
We go to finish up a job. I am kicking _ _ _ in his excavator (320 Cat). Moved his dump truck, already knew how to check grade, etc. He is REALLY impressed, as is the other worker.
We stop at 10:30, (waiting for health inspector, septic lines...) And we get to talking a little bit, and he asks me, so how old are you? I said 17. He got a very bad look on his face and started shaking his head. The other guy just said "sh1t....".
He then explained to me that his insurances policy will NOT insure anyone under 18, period, no exceptions, so, he "fired" me!
Told me to be there at 6:30 June 11th, 2016 for my first day of work, I said I would be there!
So.... Back to laying carpet for now! Thats okay though, I really like that job too!!!
I have to say I am quite disappointed.... I was VERY VERY excited to have scored such a job, as was mom! Should have seen her face when I came home at 11:30, and told her he fired me..... priceless......
Just thought you guys would like to here about another one of my adventures!
