as many of you know I can kinda get on peoples nerves and I don't always agree with your ways of thinking.
Well my Boss had one of his crew's in Seguin Texas and they forgot an important document and he didn't know what to do.
I told him to email the document to Kinko's then they can go pick it up but seguin has no Kinko's. So i found a computer store owned by a man named Rusty who i talked into letting me send the document to his email for 10.00 dollars. as i hung up the phone my Boss said he is going to email the document to a friend and he will take it to seguin in person since he has to go there anyway. After I heard that I put my hands on my head and I said "But I already made arrangements with Rusty" he said fuck Rusty and the 10.00 dollars and i said ok let me apologize to him and my boss said what for? I said because Rusty was very cool with me on the phone and he is a part time minister of a church in Seguin Texas.
My Boss said "you know I am tired of your fucking attitude!!" I kind of looked at him like he had two heads. I was shocked and yet i wasn't. I thought for sure he was going to say "you know mouse I don't think this is going to work out"
I saw my career and pathetic life flash by me. But after what seemed like a week we was both very quite. He went to Bill millers later and we ate. Right now I act like nothing happened and he is talking to me like he doesn't remember a thing. Keep in mind we work from 7AM to 11:00 Pm the company is behind and everyone is under stress.
Right now I am on my first beer and I will apologize even though I really think it should be the other way around.
I guess being out of work (a real job that you cash a check every week) for the last 8 years I forgot how to keep a job.
There is a lot of ass kissing involved. anyway any advise or feedback is cool if not just act like you don't give shit and go fuck with Angel_luv.

Dude you was in a coma or sharing a cave with bin laden? Kim left me two weeks ago I was homeless. My ex Boss is now working for CPS and the Government we rate peoples house's to see if they qualify for free shit to help save energy.
If they have a refrigerator that says 1993 we buy them a new one. We practically remodel the homes. (we sub the work out) I have been doing more and more each day. Today I was in charge of calling the people and setting up appointments. I make a folder and put a copy of Google map inside then i write their name on a erase board. That is on top of Moving vehicles, making coffee, taking out the trash, answering the phone, coping Pictures on the PC, adding names of new clients on the PC,while I train to do the acul audits.
and on top of that I get a request to download about 7 GBs a day of movies and music. I do all the printing and i set up the Pc's so they can work together as networking.
Plus i live here and watch the place and i also try out my new material they want to be entertained as they work they say the day goes by faster when i joke around or tell them how NASA lied about landing on the moon.
I also make coffee,go get beer,and I load the trucks with the tools. Basically I am the live in Nigra/butler/maid/gopher.

Seguin is a cracktown. Look outside the courthouse, they colored a cement oval rock and put a sign in front of it "Worlds Largest Pecan". Some hardcore addicts thinks it's real. A mile or two down the street outside a pecan store they have a fake pecan even bigger. This one has no sign. Your boss probably inhaled some crack and freaked out!

Do you have to be nasty when I'm trying to be nice?
Anyway, I'm just interested in the program - what sort of things are involved in the assessment? Insulation? Glazing? Types of Heating? Appliances? Etc. And how does the program operate? How do people qualify and what do they qualify for?
I audit for a government home energy program where we take 2-3 hours to go through every aspect of household energy consumption, and how the householders can minimise their consumption at least cost. We talk about how the building, appliances, and behaviour in relation to both impact upon household energy consumption. During my audits I really take the time to explain the principles to people so they understand them for life, wherever they live.
If they then spend $2000 on our recommendations (things like insulation, internal and external window coverings, heating and cooling, solar hot water heating, gap and crack sealing, remote switches, etc), they get a $500 rebate from the local government.
I'm just interested to know what kind of programs are going on in other places.

You sound like you already work for us! What you do is something they do in the other department, our area we schedule appointments to see what kind of shape the home is in and if they have proper insulation, and if they have old energy consuming appliances. We also check what we call the Blower door.
http://www.expert-air-purifier-reviews.com/images/blower-door.gif
we take a reading on how much air is coming into the house from cracks and poor windows and lack of insulation. Then we look under the house in the attic, and we check for lead and asbestos.
It takes two hours. then we come back to the office and feed the info in this sorry ass 1995 software called "EASY" we have to draw a floor plan on the pc and put in all the windows and doors. we have to add up the square footage and then we see if the house is worth doing. The contractors who go to the homes to fix everything don't want to go across town just to caulk a window. We have to make sure there is at least a few thousand dollars worth of work so it can be worth it.
So we want fucked up house's and San Antonio has many! I hope I answered part of your question I need to go throw up that cheap beer so I can eat breakfast brb..................

Interesting that you use a blower door. We just advise people to close the whole house up and use incense or similar to find the cracks and gaps and seal them themselves.

A: I do something fucked up that can get me fired.
B: I show them something they didn't know they could do on the PC and they love me.
Just today I forgot to put one of the documents in a folder and one of the workers had to come back to the office. But 2 hours later I show the Boss how to re-size 250 photos at one time after he has been spending 45 minutes a day doing them one by one.
The boss told me he had an erection when I turned him on to Re-size Guinness, he said i just saved the company over 10 hours a week at 50 dollars an hour. Then I go and tell some lady we will be at her home on Friday when her house is scheduled for Monday.

My boss is cracking up. What else do they do in Australia that is different? We replace the Air conditioners and Refrigerators what do you replace?
We don't replace anything directly. We educate people on where their energy is going and how they can reduce their consumption in a hundred different ways (insulation, crack sealing, window coverings, etc.). if they spend $2000 on the things we suggest, they get a $500 rebate from the local government.
We certainly don't replace people's a/cs, we encourage them to switch away from a/cs to fans or evaporative coolers (we have a dry climate where I am and they work very well while using very little energy). I actually explain to people how the uptake of a/cs is increasing their electricity bills directly (they use a lot of power) and indirectly (they cause extreme electricity demand peaks on hot day, which means utilities have to build new gas-fired peaking plants, which the consumer pays for through their fast-rising electricity prices).
Unfortunately we don't you have to understand no one here in Texas really gives a shit we are all just trying to get free shit and make a living. To us it's a business, to the people its free shit, I don't think the words Energy,or save every is said.

Save on energy consumption and you save money. That's how I sell it. Even someone not concerned about the environment can't deny that.
