My snowplow guy (the one who plows with the Wonder a dog, who I love) just emailed me that he’s not doing plowing this year, but he gave me a referral to some other company.
The thing I liked about the last guy (besides his dog) was he came, he plowed the driveway straight through, took 5 minutes, 50 bucks, done.
Nothing fancy nothing extra. No salt, no walkways, nothing to unnecessarily jack up the price. And he only showed up if it was more than 6 inches, which was perfect. I can shovel 6 inches or less, myself. The only problem is always the massive snow pile at the end of my driveway that the township plows create, I can’t shovel those at all.
So I’m trying to decide if I want to bother at all this year, I mean where do I have to go?
It’s worth it to me for 50 bucks for really big storms, but nothing more than that.

So I call the reference he gave me, and it’s even worse than Our lawn company.
They come for anything down to 2 inches (which is like a dusting) and it’s 100 bucks for each storm, you don’t get to,pick and choose a minimum snow depth. So if we get a 2 inch snowfall, it’s 100 bucks. And another 100 for each 6 inches. So a 7inch storm is 200 bucks. Plus 35 bucks for salt
What a RRRRIIIIIPPPPP OOOFFFFFFFF!

“I’ll drive you home,” he offers. Correction: he asserts--arrogantly, as if he’s used to giving orders. “We need to go get those tarps and sandbags anyway.”
“How did you…?” I trail off as the answer dawns on me. “My dad e-mailed you, didn’t he?”--― Kristi Cook, Magnolia

one of the reasons I have a job is the fact that the textile
industry went South -- and I mean that literally

Danville, Martinsville and Roanoke were really huge textile factory
Milltowns.

As they closed due to economic impossibility, they all moved to places
like Mexico and Carribean islands.

And with that, unemployment and a tendency for people to get depresssed
and therefore disabled.
Hence, I had a huge case load for ten years due to the economic problems
of that world.

Now, the textiles mills are gone and there is unemployment and disabled
people but not coming from the same source

I knew someone and her
sisters worked in those mills for years.

REmember another friend . He owned a textile millincluding a dye house. I lived and cried every minute of the closing
of that mill with him

He is still trying to develop that old huge factory into something in the
area. It does not go. It has been vacant about six years now

Well at least I tricked boss into a retention bonus.
It wasn’t a huge amount, but it was free money.
Also all my untaken vacation for the year added up to a nice additional check, too.

They got rid of that policy because so many people were getting paid vacation time when they quit.

There’s no specific number of days “vacation time” granted anymore, it’s “take whatever you want when you can, and when you need” which if I was still there, would of course be zero days.
so when you quit you don’t get paid for any untaken vacation. Zero.
Whereas my untaken vacation added up to like $20K or something like that.There was no way I was leaving that on the table after working all year IN A PANDEMIC without a day off.
