Nah, a Knight in Armor.

And alarm installer decked out with a safety helmet, goggles, ear protectors, dust mask, elbow pads, work gloves, back brace, kneepads, steel toe workboots.

However, Mikey, would rather be known as a Night in Amore.

So what's needed is King Arthur with a screwgun?

Years from now... One of our great grand children will regal his friends with the story.

I've been all over my guys about leaving tools on jobs, especially ladders. My ops manager came into my office to let me know that a camera job was completed and up on the net. He gave me the IP address and I pulled it up on my computer. It was a 16 camera job and as I was going through the cameras, Camera 5 came up with a great picture of one of my ladders still in hallway. Before I said anything, all I heard over my shoulder was "Ahh Sh**!! We didn't have to wait for that phone call to let us know we left a ladder.

Glad to see you're back on line Bob..... I heard Wilma got you messed up pretty good down there.

Bahahah!

Well, the solution for this kind of thing is simple: make your guys buy their own f'n tools. Then if they DO "lose" them, you're not out the money.

I have to pay up-front for my own tools (my employer reimburses me half), so I'm pretty careful about making sure I have them all at the end of the day.

Wilma kicked my ass. We were without power for about a week and half. Had generator though. Luckily a cool front came in right after so we didn't need the air conditioning. Two trees down on the house which started the roof damage. Ten trees down total. Screen enclosure around the pool area is a pretzel in my neighbors yard, but then again my other neighbors screen enclosure is in my yard and my pool. One of the trees was right at the corner of the home. When it went, it took roots and all. I need to have foundation checked for damage. It took a portion of the sprinkler system so I am concerned about that corner. My canal is about 20 feet wider because when the trees on the other side went, they pulled up all the root system with them. So, now instead of looking at a nature preserve, I am looking at a 15 foot wall of dirt and roots down the entire canal. Little bit of ceiling damage and a little water but I am all tile floors, except the bedrooms, anyway, so that was no big deal. The boat is back up north so that was a relief and the other house, from what I hear, is OK just some soffet damage. I haven't had chance to get over there yet. Maybe this weekend. The office had roof damage and we got flooded in there. Computers, files and inventory were all OK, just wet carpet and most of that was over in the Travel Agency. Things won't be the same here for a long long time, but we are fine and that is what counts.

Jesus Christ this f****ng Usenet drives me nuts. Anyone seen my WebTV?

And it was Mark's post where he stole my double sided tape

That works too (theoretically)... if they don't feel responsible for the original, it should at least make them feel more responsible for the replacement they bought :)

Ha ha ha, Bob got his ass kicked by a CHICK! :-)

(Sorry, it was there... I had to...)
