Apples, grapefruit and fruit cocktail

Mike, The Cove can be at times, like a drug. It can be a bit addictive and can be abused. :eek:

However...........................................

Being a former union folk myself, I can state from experience that I do not feel they are comparable. Apples and grapefruit are both fruits and can be abused, but they are not the same. My comment was meant mostly in jest, but like a lot of Dilbert cartoons there might be a bit of truth there somewhere.

Okay, I understand your point now. Thanks.

Now, back to my nap. I get cranky when I don't get my afternoon nap.;)

Oh boy... here we go... a 12 step program for the Cove.

1) Admitted we were powerless over the Cove, that our internet connection had become unmanagable.

2) Came to believe that a ISP greater than our current one could restore us to productivity.

3) Made a decision to turn our work & our computers over to the care of Marc as we understand him...

Yikes!!!!! I need to quit now... :biglaugh: :vfunny: :smokin:

Cheers!!!

Arghhhh!

Recent case in point.

We sell Water Treatment Equipment with an option to have the equipment set up and operated by our Field Service Technician. The technician is skilled in plumbing, electrical, rigging, and other associated duties. We normally expect a maximum of 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the system, to install and train the Customer on the product. The calculations for his time are figured in with the total cost of the project, even allowing for some reasonable unforeseen snafu.

We recently went to install a system in a large Hospital. This serviceman was not allowed to touch a thing without a trade person present. Besides not being able to find a plumber or an electrician without a massive search of this massive institution, they were inept and wouldn’t even make it through the first interview if they wanted to work here. Imagine having to have someone operate a stepladder for you. The job took two weeks and gobbled up any profit we may have made. Motel stays, car rentals, meals, payroll, etc..consumed the margin and more. No Customer is worth losing money on. We went for, and received an adder for additional costs. Future prices for this Hospital will be “jacked up” to cover the cost of “disorganized labor”.

The Unions time has come and gone. Just visit the local City Hall or Motor Vehicle Department or any State Office and you can see the effects firsthand.

db,
As for the abuse here in the Cove, I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Abuse of the Cove

energy, are you talking about abusing the Cove, or being abused by it? I think in your case I might be able to find "objective evidence" of both!:biglaugh: :vfunny: :bonk:
