I was a contractor for cablevison in late 80s/90s and I worked in all of them projects in durham and raleigh.Back then there were alot of peeps that roamed around all day but hardly any shootings. I drove the yota in my sig. All of the cable boxes,cabinets were under the soffet on the back of the 2,3 story buildings so they would be hard to break in. I learned quick to jump the curb and drive my truck to the backside of the buildings so my tools,cable boxes parts etc. would not get stolen from my truck while I hooked up the coax.

When I worked at a Rental company, I delivered 2 diesel powered lifts, to a contractor that was refurbishing government [taxpayer] built apartments, for the ah, ah, low [no] income folk. They get new apartments about every 10 years, as that as long as it takes the habitats to destroy them. Nice cycle! Well, the next morning, contractor calls, saying neither lift will crank. Da Ha, hard to crank, with out batteries! :mad:

I have a customer that when I replace battery I have to scribe serial number of machine and date of install on battery case AND send pictures to head contact person. The employees swap them out for their own uses…
 
CORUNNA, Mich.— Elected officials in a Michigan county gave themselves $65,000 in bonuses with federal relief money related to the pandemic.

The money, described as “hazard pay,” included $25,000 for Jeremy Root, chairman of the Shiawassee County Board of Commissioners.

The mostly rural county, between Lansing and Flint, has a population of 68,000.

Commissioners — all Republicans — recently voted to award more than $500,000 to dozens of county employees. It ranged from $25,000 for administrators to $2,000 for cleaning staff. All recipients got at least $1,000.

Besides Mr. Root, commissioners John Plowman and Brandon Marks each received $10,000, and the other four commissioners got $5,000 each.

Most commissioners are paid $10,000 a year for their part-time job, plus a stipend for meetings.

“I think that I earned it,” Commissioner Cindy Garber said of the bonus. “I work really hard at this job. I was here in-person all through this crazy year.”

Commissioner Marlene Webster said she was “mortified” when money appeared in her bank account and didn’t know she had voted to reward herself.

“I’m giving the money back,” Ms. Webster told WILX-TV. “I think one commissioner is giving it to a nonprofit so those actions indicate that we truly did not know this money was coming to us.”

A message seeking comment from Ms. Root wasn’t immediately returned Thursday.

Meanwhile, Nichole Ruggiero of Owosso filed a lawsuit to try to rescind some bonuses, claiming commissioners violated Michigan’s open meetings law when they went into closed session to discuss the money, the Argus-Press reported.

“The arrogance of this board is outlandish,” she said.

The hazard pay was extended to other elected county officials, including Sheriff Brian BeGole, who got $25,000, and prosecutor Scott Koerner, who received $12,500.

The county administrator, Brian Boggs, who received $25,000, said the focus on commissioners was overshadowing an effort to assist county workers.

“It was to the benefit of the employees,” he said of the bonuses, “and perhaps we should not pursue other ideas like this to get them additional funding if this is how it’s going to be received.”

Stephan Currie, executive director of the Michigan Association of Counties, said the group works closely with counties about how to spend federal virus-related cash.

“We are not aware of any other counties considering payments to elected officials, and MAC has not provided any guidance or advice to do so. ... Decisions, however, ultimately rest with the county’s board of commissioners in each county,” Ms. Currie told MLive.com.

But it would be a pretty amazing feat if it worked.

I agree, I don’t think it’ll work but to even try is insanity.
