Temps are a trip to work with for the most part. I worked in a factory one time as a temp. After 6 weeks I was top man on the pole in my department. I started training 6 guys in 3 weeks for one job one time. Finaly got a good one, he worked 3 weeks and got called up in the guard.

Here at the water factory we had some general painting and cleaning we could not get caught up on. I tried to get the bosses to get some college interns for the summer. They went with temps. First one came back from lunch the first day unable to walk well and stinking of pot. Second one was totaly unable to operate a weedeater. The 3rd was by far the best. I came in one night and every one was tore up because our temp had gone to the hospital. He was painting the trim around a 12' door and the cherry picker dropped him. A hose came off the up and down cylinder. I called BULL CHIT! Went out and there was bout 10 gallons of oil on the ground, paint was everywhere, my boss was about to cry thinking we were going to get in a law suit, and a 1/2" hose was hang'n loose. I got to looking IT WAS THE DOWN PRESURE HOSE THAT WAS LOOSE. Went to the tool box and sure nuff, there was a cresent wrench and a pair of channel locks covered in hydrolic fluid! We pulled the tape out of the security camera, good ol' boy went out tryed to cut the line with a knife, took it loose, pumped out all the oil, tossed paint every where, went back in the shop. Last I heard the temp company still had charges pressed against him.
You just can't find good help anymore.

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
