This one left me shaking my head the other morning...
I run a small (even smaller now with the times) design/build company that does a good level of commercial and occasionally high end residential. The other morning the work phone rings and I pick it up, saying hello followed by the name of my company. First thing I hear on the other end is: "Are ya hirin"?". Said fast enough I wasn"t sure what he said. "I"m sorry sir, could you repeat that" was my response. "Are YA HIRIN"?" (There was no hello, may I speak with, or my name is...) "I"m sorry sir, but we are not hiring at this time" I replied. "Well is this? (and then bungles the company name, which consists of 3 letters)" "No it"s not, you have called a design build firm sir (gave him the correct company name)" "Yeah! Are ya hirin anybody?" "Thank you and have a good day sir..." as I hung up.
I deal with a lot of different types of people, but the complete lack of thought/protocol/whatever blew me away that morning. Found it kind of funny. I know theres" a lot of good people out there out of work, and then there"s some that are out of work for a reason. But just can"t imagine what goes through his mind.... let alone what the interview may have been like!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
