Well, I haven't been around much this past week. I started my new job last monday and i don't have any time to dick around on a computer. i worked in a mercedes/bmw/volvo dealership until the wednesday before last and had to leave because i needed to make more money to support my family. now, i work for maffei landscaping. yes, i left the car business to be a landscaper. let me tell you just how happy i am with my decision!
at this really large landscape company there's a lot of different things that i can choose to do. i started off on the mulching crew. the foreman and myself are in a $200,000 truck that really is a big hopper with a mechanism that operates like a supercharger that spews mulch or anything else for that matter out of a 200' hose. we can lay 40 yards of mulch in 5 hours (as much as 10 guys with a wheel barrow can do in 2 days). it looks great too! i get to be outside all day, witch is really nice. i already have a sunburn! it's good to finally put in an honest hard days work. it's 10-14 hours a day but it's SOO damn worth it in the end. i'm hitting overtime by lunch on thursday and still have friday and saturday to earn time and a half. needless to say, the pay is far better than sitting around in a car dealership. i get to take pride in my work. all that i did in the car dealership was get shit on all day. now i get "thank you"s and "my god, that looks beautiful".
well, hopefully it's not forever.. i would rather be in a business where i can use my brain instead of my body, but for now, the work is easy- i'm glad i'm 21 and 6'2".
i don't know why i decided to make this thread, but i figured someone should know that i'm excited to leave a failing dealership and jump on board of a rapidly growing company. well.. that's it. :bravo:
