See Jordy - you're starting to clue into why Logan really left....
Bodymen wear too many clothes - you know, coveralls and such - and we're heading into summer so I figure Logan wanted to get into something where on a nice summers day he can look up and see some sweaty half dressed roofer or something glistening in the sun. Lots of hammers and sawing and sweat and stuff.
He sorta swings that way ya know [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Jordy - it was the shop that drove me away not the work, I love doing body work and still do. I worked at 2 shops and was jerked around by both of them.
I was never getting paid more than $10.50/hr and I did prep work, LOTS or major body work, painted panels and was a money maker. I busted my *** at the last shop I was at and when I asked for a raise they said "I was still green and they couldnt afford it" at that time I was the head prepper, ONLY masker, 4th bodyman and learning to paint. My body work was charged out at $65/hr like everyone elses and they couldnt give me more than $10.50 BULLSHAT!
So I got into a scrap with the painter because I wasnt holding the hand of all the 4 new preppers many of which never worked in a bodyshop before...and I was rushed to mask things as soon as they were ready and Id miss some things like unsanded wheel wells, some tar on a rocker, a small rock chip here and there no one is perfect man I cant see everything and it doesnt help when Im being rushed and asked to shop 4 people how to do their jobs and manage my own work.
So a truck went into the paint booth with some tar on it and the painter walked out of the paint booth and called me in to look at it, asfter he showed my I said "sorry man Im not perfect" he told me "I have to be pefect and DONT waste hsi time with this crap" and I walked away muttering something and he pushed me from behind and I turned around and punched him hard enough to break one of my fingers....grabbed my tools told my boss sorry but I dont get paind enough to deal with that crap and left.
Now since Im getting married July 9th I need a job thats gonna pay some bills, Im a pin setter and line setter for Marmot Concrete, a good union job that pays me damn near double.
