true...i guess it all comes from how i was raised...i was born into this business and starting out family owned my mind and mentality always has been company first, self second because the life blood of my family is the business. its everything. its never been a big deal working off the clock, i was never able to stand by and see a need but not do it cuz i wasnt gonna get paid. thats why i wind up working 40 hrs at these big weekends and only getting paid 15...half the time im not supposed to work at all but i cant help it, i see a need i fill it and before you know it im doing it all weekend now

my dad and grandfather and uncle are the same way...we put the company first...

but im making up for it right now...im photoshopping all my bosses pictures into a safari truck and putting them on the african plains

I pulled out of my neighborhood this morning and saw a big rig run a red light and plow into a Toyota truck right in front of my eyes, 20 feet away from me. Luckily, everyone was standing on their two feet. The Toyota was one of those street sweeper conversions and the big rig didn't hit the cab. I gave the cops my business card, me and three other people were witnesses. If gunned it at the light, I would have probably been killed. The truck was going at least 50mph thru the intersection.

My job is important to me, but if they weren't paying me for the hours I was in... I'll quit...It's not like it's a life or death situation h:

Yeah, I'm still tripped out to see that happen. It was a miracle to see those guys walk out of their trucks without any injuries.

i love working here too much to think about quitting right now even if things were worse... theres too much potential for me here... been with the company since i was 17..been in the business since i was born...and seriously without sounding cocky i am part of this companies future...everyone in power is getting up there in years and they need new blood to start going up the ladder, and im right there working the rungs and everyone important knows it and helps me where they can...they just suck at the consistent raises

Yeah seriously. The truck driver felt he could beat the light and didn't let off the throttle. The shiitty thing was that most of the witnesses took off right away.

A few years ago i watched a geo get t boned by a 80s monte carlo. The geo was 1 car infront of me and started going throught the intersection when the light turned. The worst part was the monte carlo driver took off. He got out and made sure everyone was alive and then bailed. I stayed and talked to the cops, dunno if they ever found the guy.
