There was a message left on the answering machine from a place that laid me off back in March of 2009. It was mostly just something to do for the winter. It was a strange place to work because the boss had to control how everything was done and he'd get mad if it wasn't done exactly his way. They sold welding and industrial supplies and when I first applied I said that product knowledge is the most important part if you want to sell anything. The boss disagreed and said customers almost always know what they want(ya right!). All the parts were kept in about 200 coffee cans with plastic lids on industrial shelving about 3 ft. deep. To say it was a pain looking for parts is an understatement and he had the most complicated computer system possible. You couldn't just print out a regular invoice like anywhere else. It was ridiculous and he expected me to learn it with about 20 minutes of off and on training. Anyway, I figure the only reason he's calling is because he wants me back cause no one else would put up with him. I wouldn't want to go back to the same conditions but if he really wants me, what all should I ask for besides more money? My sister runs a very successful salon and said it's not too much to ask that he get some proper parts bins or boxes. The coffee cans are because he's too cheap to even spend $500 or less on a parts bin. Imagine a bolt supply house having all the bolts in closed coffee cans with just part numbers on the side, with no description, and you had to search through them one at a time to find what you needed. Yes, it was that bad! Any suggestions on how to handle it if he offers me a job? I could use some extra money over the winter months. I was abruptly laid off 21 hours short of being eligible for UIC and right after he got back from a 2 week vacation in Mexico. I'm really puzzled by the message on the phone. Hi, I'm calling to see how you're doing and haven't heard from you in a long time etc. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
