Do you hate your current job?

Okay, things are really starting to go sour at Middleton. We're short-handed in the Commercial department, so they've got us working five nine hour days. Well, my trainer now says that they're talking about having us work seven ten hour days. I'm really not complaining, but Middleton really needs to start hiring Commercial workers and quit focusing on Residential.

Also, a funny thing happened between my trainer and the superintendent yesterday. You see, my trainer doesn't always wear his hard hat, so he was getting his balls busted by the superintendent, who is a die-hard, follow-the-rules-no-matter-what kind of guy.

Well, the superintendent busted his ass three times yesterday for not wearing his hardhat. On the third time, my trainer goes "Listen old man, you see all these other motherfuckers out here wearing baseball caps? Why don't you go yell at them?!" Superintendent tells him to get off the job site and while my trainer is going to get his tools, he points at the superintendent and tells our foreman that "You better get this asshole out of my face" or something to that degree.

My trainer was extremely lucky because he would have been fired if he hadn't called Middleton before the superintendent and given them the true story. The superintendent called Middleton right after my trainer and told them that my trainer had called him "motherfucker" which he hadn't. His only punishment is that he can't work in the building where the superintendent is running things, which is just fine by him.

I've never seen anyone with the balls to talk like that to a superintendent and then get away with it, lol. I'm still laughing about it.
