You guys are nuts....*bg*
Actually kat, I have been known to sleep, but find it highly overrated. An' besides, if I was doin' this for the money, I'd be getting paid what I was worth, living on the Riviera or somethin', and certainly not writing this post from the 'Frozen Shithole on the Prairie'!!
Nope, these are good folks. What this contract is doing is giving them a place to stretch their wings a bit, and gives us an opportunity to see what kind of skills they have for "real" jobs. We talk about things like cleanliness, being on time, work ethics, etc., and they really take pride in their work. As long as the lamps have a market, they have a job.
Also a BIG thank you to our Mudcatter "MAG", who stopped to see me at the site a few weeks ago, met some of the guys, and said "Lamps? I need one of those!" She threw the first spark.
