Sneak peek
I have a new apprentice that has been working for me for a few months. She is 23 and her parents are my age 😫At first I didn’t have a lot of hope there. She is quiet, and as most other Gen Z kids, she just isn’t great with communication… but those barriers are breaking, and I have thrown so much hard s**t at her to see what sticks, and I have to say, she has exceeded my expectations 3 fold. Like, I remember being in my early 20’s and just going for s**t. No fear, nothing to lose, only trades I wanted to learn. She had never been on an industrial machine until last week, and she tailored this entire job so far. It’s pretty miraculous! Gives me hope. A: I’m teaching the youth to have a trade b: she is gonna be a wiz in like a year. My mentality has also changed. I’m giving her very little leniency, and I am pushing her far past limits I would have someone in their 30’s or my age. I asked her this morning if she was tired from the week and in I wore her out enough. She said “no, what do you mean?”. I was like “alright, you cocky little s**t”. Hahahahah! She’s perfect! For real, I give her a year and she will be a fu**ing force. She is throwing her whole ass into this this, and she is too young to have anything to lose. Everyone, meet Chuck!! she listens to a lot of nu metal, and I can’t convince her that people who use to listen to Creed were beat up at school. She has very bad taste in music for the most part in fact, and her social skills are ass at best (Covid really fu**ed that generation up, and so did Gen X and millennials. Not all her fault). She is a big advocate for social and political change, but just bi***es on the internet about it. Ok, ok, ok…. Enough hazing… she is very kind. She fosters and adopts about every type of animal on the planet. She is super fu**ing smart, and can read ridiculously fast. She grew up as a club soccer player, and she tore her acl at the height of her soccer “career”. She is actually funny and fun to talk to if you can get her to talk to you, and she never fu**ing complains about work! Welcome CHUCK!
