Sad Day!
Well I had to let my trailer go, I took $500 less than I owed but needed to cut the bill because I lost my job of 30 years. Maybe someday it will get replaced, but for now I have lots of trailer acces...

Thirty years ago I worked for a General contractor building an elementary school. The project was proceeding on schedule and one day the general superintendent came in and told me they were moving me a gymnasium project for the city. I said OK but then found out that the project was a disaster and that the city forced my boss to fire the first 2 sups on the job.
I get there and meet the cities Project Manager who was Iranian and the one who got the first 2 sups fired. Turns out that we clicked and got along fabulously. The project moved forward.
Now the kicker. The General superintendent put his kid in charge of the school and he had never run a project. It went down hill fast. The General sup decided that there was no way his son caused the problems on the school, so he came to the gym and fired ME!
This pissed off the cities PM so he hired me as a full time resident inspector on the gym job. Do you have any idea how satisfying it is to have total control over the company that fired you?
Needles to say, I followed the specs and plans to the letter. It cost the company many many dollars.
Now if I has still been running the project, none of the expenditures would have been required by the city PM.
Best job I ever had!
