Our fearless leader

The social/travel group had a pizza party and fashion show this evening, a Halloween fashion show. Stephen has a harem, as most of the women in the group are single and most of the time he is the only male. There are a few other men that are part of the group but they are there because their wives expect them to be there with them. All of us appreciate Stephen's leadership and the time he puts into planning and attending all of the events.

A bit of a frustrating morning. I had to juggle some jobs around so the crew wouldn't be standing around doing nothing. Last week on a job we ran out of mulch, so I ordered more to be delivered on Monday afternoon so it would be there ready for us this morning. I called them yesterday afternoon to order mulch for tomorrow and asked them if the mulch had been dropped off for today.  She told me no, but they would have it there this morning by 9 am. When I arrived at 9:15 today, there was no mulch. I called and was told the driver had left at 8 am, and he had messaged them at 8:30 and said he was stuck in traffic. At 10 am he had still not arrived so we moved on to get the fall cleanups done on a couple of other properties, then had to go back to the first place to spread the mulch. I have been dealing with this company for several years and never had a problem until this year. I was told this morning that the driver will not be coming back to work next year, they have had too many problems with him. This is the second time that I have had to wait for the delivery, and an idle crew costs too much money.
