It is all in the details


My new old boss handed me a business card from a company trying to get "quality" business from us. They mis-spelled a word. Just how in good conscience could I hire them and depend on the outcome of their work.

I have felt uncomfortable and discombobulated after my visit to the new plant last Friday. I just could not put my finger on it until this morning. New old boss does not want me to talk about where I have worked, that I know him from past jobs, that I know another guy, etc, etc. So what am I supposed to do tell people-that I fell off the turnip truck last Thursday? The guy I am supposed to snowball is the guy I may or may not be replacing if things do or do not work out. And everything I heard Friday made me wonder if I even want to explore this option.

  2. This may or may not have been one of your better blog posts. I prefer to jump off turnip trucks on turn pikes.
