    I worked on a site in my early 20's that had a small crew of guys. The first guy ever hired was named Brandon. Because of this , the old man who owned the company called everyone Brandon. Sadly, we all knew which "Brandon" he was talking to based on the amount of cuss words he used and the octave of "Brandon!" He yelled. One glorious summer day, I made the mistake of informing the "old man" that my name was Josh. He put me in my place immediately. I'll never forget the look of outright rage in his blood filled face , spit flying from his lips as he yelled " I know your godda*n name Brandon!!!" Such fond memories...

The other cooler's always got a 6 pack ready, 3 handfuls of ice, and the shop rag you lay over them for insulation because of that cracked lid you got trying to sit on it during break 4 summers ago.

      Not really. If it's not a boss that's working next to the guys, some of which know just as much as the boss as far as the field work is concerned, then it's a boss that's gone all the time. New guys are generally taught things by the whole crew depending on what he's doing and who he's working with. Maybe more of a "battle plan" type situation, like a unit commander or some such. But not really a "coaching a sports team" type situation. I'm sure I'll get shit, but that's been my experience. I never saw the boss the same way I saw my sports coaches, it's mostly different.

    I loved making nicknames for the new guys. My favorite one was "Magneto" given to a kid that lived down the street from me. He got the job working with me during one summer because his dad worked with us too. Magneto would constantly lose or drop the screws, connectors, anything metal really. Still get a kick telling that story. A good worker.
    My nickname was "Light Show". I got it because I was tasked to tie up temp lights down a hall of offices. I got 3 lines up there when the site supervisor comes in the see if it's done and I replied "Are you ready for the light show?" What I didn't know was he was giving a tour of the the progress to the employees who would work in the building. I get the extension cord from the generator, climb up the ladder to the nearest plug from the temp lights - the ends are both female ends. I had to flip the entire light string while everyone else had a good laugh.

      We used to have a guy that would kill a 36 pack of Natty Light each night. Dude was a straight up alcoholic. If you gave him a ride home you'd have to stop at the nearest store so he could fuel up with beer b/c he was close to DT's. He always liked riding home with me b/c I'd let him drink on the ride home. A lot of the other guys wouldn't b/c it was a company truck.
      He used to take a styrofoam cup from the gas station, put a beer can in it, surround it with ice, and then put on the lid and a straw so he could drink at work. Dude would drink beer through a friggin' straw. We got called in one weekend on an emergency roof job and he's so drunk that he can't even stand up. I never understood how someone could live like that. But, he was always a good worker and knew his shit.

      Hahahaha so true. Had a boss once who got a DUI, so he bought an electric scooter to get around. When he got his license back he sold it to one of the guys who couldn't afford a car because he had child support for like 4 kids. THAT guy got in a drunk fight with his girlfriend one night, took the scooter out, and got a DUI on the scooter.
