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 - Fordson Model N: Field Service Operations and Lubrication - by Anthony West. The daily or weekly servicing of any vehicle is of the utmost importance, and in days gone by when our favorite tractors were doing an important and Commercially vital job on the farm, these service operations would make a major difference to the running costs and economy of the farm. This being so, it surprises me to see how many enthusiasts attending rallies, shows etc, seem to be unaware of the importance of this constant attention. Possibly the modern machine with its 6,000 mile or even once ... [Read Article]
