another one bites the dust

had to get rid of my apprentice over the weekend
sick n tired of him making mistakes, me telling him over and over again only for him to do the exact same thing again and again and again   
what is the matter with some of the lads of today, their stupidity and dimness baffles me lol seems like im a magnet for them.

not bothering with anyone else now, its quicker to do stuff myself and at least when stuffs posted out I know people are gonna get the right bits
spent the last two days cleaning the crap from the workshop where hes swept all the shite under tool boxes ect, lazy little bastad
that means now ive got to do everything myself, still maybe il lose a bit more weight haha

rant over   

Lazy little fucker, is this George or another one?

yeah George

forgot to add also hes lost crap loads of tools including my £250 1/2'' snap on ratchet plus god knows how many spanners, sockets the list is endless

You don't have much luck with apprentices

They will be in his tool box at home

Tis is where you need someone that knows what parts are what & knows there tools & is a quick learner with a passion for GTiR's... Hint hint   

will you take £120 a week gaz?

seriously people don't realise the opportunities they get handed these days. I would kill for a job like he had sad as it may be I live for these cars parts and working on them.I sound old here but the youth of today is serious we have had several the same shitty lazy attitudes phone mad

We had a boy and a girl apprentice sparkles on the council, the were in there final year on 23k and could do fuck all, she wouldn't use the drill cos it scared her and he just sat on his phone all day. Then wondered why they hadn't learnt wot. Moaned like fook when they found out they were being finished, and I told em loads of times how lucky they were.

Shows you how dim he was talking about phones

I got sick of his phone constantly going off so made him leave it in the office so he only had access to it at lunchtime and when he had finished.
Well after repeatedly telling him to put it in the office I said for every day it's not in there I'm stopping you a tenner out your wages, can you believe he still kept forgetting to put it in there  
Absolutely brain dead

As you say johnny it was a cracking opportunity for him and I would have loved someone to give me that opportunity to work on fast cars when I was his age, every young petrol heads dream job. And I got him  in on a college course one day a week but I've had calls from the tutor saying he was disrupting others in the class trying to act the big man,

Unfortunately for young George I hate to say it but he's destined to go on a sticky slope downwards and I think it won't be long before he's banged up in nick, but I'm through with him so couldn't give a toss what happens to him now.

Rob............he's not got the tools, Infact I've got all his tools and he isn't getting them back either after the amount of my gear he's either broke or left lying in cars we've scrapped, that's where my snap on ratchet has gone no doubt  

I kept saying to him when i was down here he has a fantastic opportunity with the pulsars as learning alot about them could help him as no one likes working on them its a funny market.
Its a shame but like you say bob if things get sent out/missing its only you that can make sure that happens.

you need a polish worker Bob

lol yeah
he may understasnd what I was telling him more than George ever did

Sorry to hear Bob, but sadly the way of the world with a lot of younguns these days.

You're right about giving your eye teeth for this sort of opportunity, but sadly they just don't see it.

And don't get me started on mobile bloody phones in the workplace, an absolute bloody annoyance.

Real shame bob but I must add one thing in George's favour he was great with wiring lol

yeah that he was lol
plus the little bastad caught me alight once, lucky the whole bloody unit never went up in flames
god help his next employer

Lol

Oh dear, I would say id come do some work for ya, but don't want to fall out with you too  

yeah thanks I can understand that to be fair!

I only fall out with people if they mess me about or don't do the job properly, ive suffered too many fools in the last 2 years so happy on my own for the time being cheers

funny thing is the past week the place is now all clean and tidy, works been done, customers cars all done and ive got more done on my own that when gangster George was here, makes me wonder if its worth the agg employing people plus it gets me out the office doing what I like most in the workshop

When you two next meet up there will be a pie war!
