Hey everyone!!

JunkBusters is thriving here in South Florida! Jeremy, Stephen, and I started a small junk-hauling company in the Broward/Miami-Dade area about 6 months ago. Things have been going ok and we seem to get more jobs as the days go on. Check out the image gallery for a recent pic of one of our jobs. The picture shows the results of cleaning out a 1-bedroom condo. Thank goodness it all fit!

Remember, for all your junk cleanup/hauling needs, call JunkBusters at 305-968-0062!

Family-owned and operated with quick, courteous service!

Another nice benefit of working for a small company - Owner has Season Tickets to the Nationals game, and he can't go all the time, so he offers them up for free through a raffle to the company. Its a nice treat to go see a game, and in some really great seats. I think Bre has a couple of pictures she should add to the album I created.

I am concerned about the lack of motivation at several of the last jobs I have had. I am posting this because I want others opinions on this matter as well.

The last 5 jobs I have had in the corporate environment have all seemingly had people who were unmotivated to get anything more than the bare minimum done, and more often than not, less than that. So my question is, how are your current workplaces, coworkers and management in your current job? Does it seems as though attempting to complete even the simplest task which requires others input, is like walking through mud with 50 pound weights strapped to each leg?

I am now officially working for MANAGEMENTCONCEPTS. Got the official letter and all the paper work today. Its not entirely new, as I really have been working for them for the past 5 1/2 months. But it is nice now to earn vacation time, have sick time available, and actually earn money when the office is closed for the holidays.

This brings me to the point of this entry, and whether or not it is ‘fair’ to hire employees on a temporary basis until you are sure they can do the job that they applied for. You have to look at it from two very different perspectives: The Business Owner and the Employee. The Business Owner obviously wants, on the first interview with the first candidate, to hire a competent, confident, and hard working employee, for the least amount of money possible. The Employee wants to have a rewarding career, with a rewarding salary (read expensive), fairness in regard to paid time off, and to be treated well by his or her fellow coworkers.

One thing I miss about the jobs I had when I was young: grass cutter, cook, bartender, etc; was how when you left work, you really left it behind.
