You guys ever have a problem with a worker that is too intense? It's like gung-ho from the start and he works in a kind of frenzy until the last minute of the day. I don't want to say that it is so much a problem, but just a bit too much sometimes. I sometimes work with a guy like that, an...
A petite girl too, not one of those super beefed up macho chicks that will drive their high heels through the floor, like you see at Gold's Gym. Nothing really against them though. :D
Talks bad about you to your wife..... I'd be wanting to have a little discussion with that fellow myself. Respect where it's due to former teachers, but anything bad to be said, say it to your face or shut up.
Chris, I think it is a real good point about becoming someone's father. The manual trades are generally so much different from much of what you learn in school, unless you were the one of the guys that were really into shop. Often before someone is able to progress within the scope of what...

I like the guy that picked up my saw when i wasn't using it, took it over to where he needed to cut something, then when he was finished just left it there, so I had to go retrieve it. I don't mind someone on the crew using my saw if it is handy to cut something, but I appreciate it getting...
Thinking ahead comes out of the need for survival. Lots of folks seem to have never required that. I like working with people that since they are walking by something, and since it needs to go in the same general direction at some point and remaining there is pointless, why not pick it up then?
No gripes really, but one fella can often be found just sort of standing around when there is work to be done. I got to a job I ran a couple weeks ago. Busy to of had to arrange some things with the property owner and also get my gear unloaded and in order, and set up for the crane arrival...
