> you should take every job seriously. even the jobs i hated, same. i was always a top employee because i simply didn't want people to ever say i did a shitty job or was a shitty worker. landscaped in high school/college for 4 years during the summer and was the foreman after my first 2 months at 16. ran into my boss (the owner) about 10 years later and he told me when i was there he made money hand over fist but after i left he couldn't replace me no matter how many people he tried out and eventually sold all his equipment and moved to az for a few years.  it's the little things like  > go to gas station or subway at lunch, eat on the way back to job > 6 hours in, time to start cleaning up and go home for the day? nope. fuck it we can just work for 2 more hours then clean it all up and get it finished right meow. rather than clean, go back the next day, get all the tools out and set everything up, finish the job, go to lunch, come back and fuck off for 30 min, then clean up the jobsite  > that 150lb boulder needs to be moved 50 feet? nah fuck you, you do not need to go to the other side of the house to get the bobcat , turn it on, drive it back over here while i wait doing nothing (2 people spending 5 min doing absolutely nothing), just to pick it up and move it 50 feet. i'll just power clean that bitch up to my shoulder and walk it over to its rightful place in the boulder wall
