Cause trouble Frequently. Needless to say I can understand the lack of recognition. "I don't work here. I live here." %3D "Bullshit" He immediately responded once he got back on his

I am skilled enough to make most repairs myself, am never late with rent, and once ran out to the pool to perform CPR for a resident.

    Font - And this is not the end folks. Remember how I said we worked for the same company. The Corporate Big shots decided to rehire him and send him to the largest employer they guard and give him a second shot. He arrived for an interview. At my facility. Where I had hiring power. The interview went all of three questions 1. Are you going to keep anyone out that is supposed to be in here? 2. Are you going to ask for credentials for anyone you don't know trying to enter? 3.

    Font - Ok-Cow-599 OP · 9 mo. ago So about the second question, he did say yes on that. As I was writing this, my brain was on the detail of him saying no quite quickly about grabbing people.
