Seems like when one thing goes wrong with a job, it compounds itself and everything goes wrong.
One employment situation I always have to laugh about. Once upon a time I had my own auto body shop and used car lot, but the building wasn't big enough to get a decent amount of workflow through it. So I reluctantly made the decision to close it down.
As it happened, I'd occasionally farmed a complete paint job out to a local Maaco shop and the guys at Maaco kept bugging me to come to work for them. So-when I decided to close my own shop, I talked to the manager at Maaco and made a deal to work there. He was all optimism, talking about expanding the shop, etc. I told him it would take me a couple of weeks to close down my shop and I'd call him in about ten days to set a date when I'd start.
About ten days later, I tried calling the place and got a recording that the telephone had been removed or was not in service. I drove over to the place and it was deserted with paper taped inside all the windows. They'd gone out of business within that ten days.
But the local Ford dealer, whom I knew since we were teenagers, was advertising for a salesman so I went to work there, and a couple of weeks later fell into being Service Manager through no effort of my own, so I can laugh about the Maaco deal. Might not have been so funny if I hadn't had the backup with Ford.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
