    How do you hire?

    California is an "at will" employment state. Anyone can be fired or quit at any moment for any or no reason. So for me, technically speaking, everyone is always in a probationary period...in a manner of speaking. We force people to submit resume AND cover letter. Everyone. Even ground...

    Jobber Software

    How bout it, Landen? Can you make a way to select a few items and "create job with selected items?" And why can't I re-order items from the iPad. That one is driving me nuts. I gotta call the office and tell them to move the 5th item down to after the 9th item, then I wait for them to do it...

    I've see these oaks (Q. agrifolia ) with spots of dead leaves. Finally got a call from a lady wondering what's the deal. Pull some samples and did some twig dissection. Any idea what I'm looking at? love nick
