Think the boss will see the difference in your work compared to the new guy and as far as I'm concerned quality matters.Down around freezing right now. Will go shopping in a bit. Raked leaves all afternoon.
Problem at work: Manager hired new temp to "help" me. His job was to lay flooring, mine was to build new cabinet doors. Manager gave me this week off. I went in to collect paycheck. While there, I checked on progress. The flooring is not done, the guy is building my cabinet doors. WTH????? To make it worse, he's finishing them completely different than I was. I bought regular pine plywood so they could be painted, he's stained them with no trim to hide the ply's. Now it looks cheap and lazy.
Like your idea much better.
