Yep. I still remember that feeling after getting towed, being dumbfounded and perplexed.

Parking tickets is one bad thing, but getting towed is another. Happened to me in San Francisco once, doing some business with the St. Francis hotel, my Chevy S10 with commercial plates, parked in a commercial zone.....came outside to nothingness. I wasn't parked there long, maybe 30 minutes...

Don't they have flashing yellow lights for maintenance vehicles? Stick one on the top of your car when you park at the sight, no need to turn it on. Maybe the cop will back off, you being also in the flashing light club.

Nick, I guess I was wanting to be non specific about helping out the company. I've kind of gotten used to the old ways here, and though it is changing now, employment often meant for life with a particular company, like the one that you started out with. Over that period there would be a...

Law enforcement won't cut parking slack to people doing tree work and need to park at a job? That is just mean. Have you tried explaining the situation when they want to write you up? I'm naive I guess.

The first guys that I hooked up with to do tree work, two brothers and their uncle, all old timers, we would generally stop at one of two places near the yard on the way back to have beers and some eats. They would always buy, so in a way I would be getting paid for that time too, One place...

Sometimes the cool air feels nice at the end of the day heading back to the yard, and I wouldn't mind doing it without renumeration, but it's almost always the case that I am getting paid, or if it is a day wage, the time is being considered as possible cause for overtime if need be.

I think along these lines as well. When I found it a bit curious that someone feels compelled to get down to the fine print of the contract about putting in some extra time here and there on occasion, I just assumed that it was considered an opportunity to be working there. I didn't...

Some of you guys give the impression that a little extra effort for the benefit of the company, without being paid for it, is an unthinkable thing. Must be an American concept?

Doesn't paying by the day and not the hour, generally eliminate potential conflicts? Longer days and shorter days seem to kind of balance out, unless someone is keeping close note down to the micro minute. That isn't practical?

A time clock kept at the place where the business is operated from, will give a good result for employees, I think. It may not be the most practical if people use their own car, heading directly home from the job could be preferred.
