Pecking order

[dbking]

I have worked in several states...IN, KY, CT, IL, MO, KS

For the biggest share of us, this is an avocation. We are not in it for the money and certainly put a great deal of time into being better.

You will find that if you seek to improve there will be someone to help you. You will get some good advice and some bad.
You will get some advice that you can adapt and apply quickly and some that is hard to do.

Listen with two ears and speak softly. Let your reputation be earned by what is done and court and how you handle yourself off the court.

I found the suburban Chicago area to be a difficult area. Many, many, many assignors to work with. Too many crews that work together every night. Cliques that thought they were better, so much so that they wore a different color jacket from everyone else to show themselves off.

Find people that you like to be with and try to be a great mentor for those that seek your help.

Peace.
