Worst Job Ever

"Irrigation Technician" is a fancy title for a Sprinkler Guy.
Early spring is the busiest time for any Sprinkler company. It was at this time I got hired by the biggest one on Long Island. The man who hired me said I was overqualified but I told him I was willing to start at the bottom and learn this "skill".
My first day was spent assisting a guy whose name I have successfully forgotten. He was a total bullshit artist, a horrible driver, and just an all-around moron who didn't know his ass from his elbow. Our job was to do spring start-ups. We were given what seemed like a hundred customers and had to clear the sprinkler heads of the grass that had enveloped them. You had to check every "zone" so you'd run the sprinklers and make adjustments, or replace broken hoses and heads.
There was incentive to charge the customer for replacing broken heads, so this asshole would purposely break them.I requested another partner.
So true is the expression, "be careful what you wish for".
The next guy was a total douche bag. I conveniently forgot his name. Let's just call him Dick. Well, this Dick must have thought I was just off the boat or something. He gave me no consideration or respect. Had no patience, and worked a hundred miles per hour. I remember getting soaked on a cold, March morning. It was the first job of the day. Usually a normal person would stop and get a cup of coffee, but since this Dick had a cup on the way in, we didn't stop. Being the passenger means going where the Dick wants to go. Upon completing the first job, I told Dick to take me back to the shop. "But we've got a lot of jobs to do, man", Dick uttered. "No, YOU have a lot of jobs to do, Dick. Just drive me back, OK Dick"?
Back at the shop I told the guy that hired me that I had had enough of working with Dicks, had enough of the irrigation industry. He offered me a job running the supply room, again saying that the labor part was beneath me.
This time I couldn't have agreed more!
