When you gotta choose do you roll the dice with credentials & testimonials OR do you go with who you know?
 
wellllll... I would say, Go With the Bud I know and Blow.....butttttt...I definitely did not blow him.
 
All contractors are morons. Just pick one and stand over them at all times to make sure they don't screw up too badly, and be prepared to accept their mistakes.

Credentials are always good, and testimonials have their value, but then I think of your posts.

You claim credentials and everybody says you are full of shit.
 
Something I learned very early in life. It doesn't matter how smart you are, how amazing your credentials are, how stunning your experience is... it matters if someone likes you or not.

Shitty, petty and childish; but it happens.

this is exactly correct
 
Angie's List kicks ass. I've saved at least $150 this year using their companies.
 
I live in a small town, so I pretty much know whose credentials are or aren't worth the paper they're written on. So I have to go with who I know.

Absolutely correct.

I lost count at how many times I tried to let my the results of my labor and experience speak for itself. Only to fail because I lacked the charm and persona to kiss someone's ass to make them like me. I have also lost count of how many times I witness someone else take credit for another persons' wonderful idea(s) or workmanship.

Also, dolf is tied for the lead thus far.
 
Over the years I have learned an important lesson when it comes to whether I will hire or not.

Show me what you know, don't tell me!

That and temp labour doesn't get paid till the END of the haying, otherwise they fuck off after day one and leave me high and dry with thousands of dollars sitting in the fields.

Credentials don't mean squat. The good word of someone I respect is your golden ticket.

Everybody be guessing and not knowing. People been dissing me all my life, I'm used to it. The last words my old man said to me befo he died was, I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU. People usually are.
 
What I notice about people is how they suffer incompetence and mediocrity for so long. They put up with crap till they gotta do something else.

Yep. What you say is the rule of thumb mosta the time. Then they gotta pay top dollar to fix the fuckups.

Look at Wall Street and Washington, the same crew that drove the bus into the ditch is still at the wheel.
 
I would have voted for Dolf, but she has me on iggy.

As such, I vote for my old girlfriend, Lady Funk...

It's easy to see why you've been dissed all your life.
 
Not at all. I'm like eating turtle the first time. You cant imagine how good it is just from its appearance.

You are a bitter misanthrope who blames the world for all your problems. You don't get any better with a closer look or a second helping.
