This serves as just one example of the hard work Grant does while at Tradex

Do the words CLOVERDLE RODEO frighten you, if they don’t THEY SHOULD!!!!!!!!!! Shiver –me – timber, we are looking for a ton of staff for the Rodeo. Preparation for the Rodeo starts the beginning of May, the Event itself is May 18 – 22, and then there is the clean up which runs to the end of May. We are looking to fill a variety of positions from: landscaping, general labour, clean up crews, ticket takers, and cashiers. The hours are long, the work is hard, but if we have enough staff we can have better hours. As this is our Second year running this event, we anticipate it to run much more smoothly. Last year we had no information on what to expect. This year we know what to expect!! We will only be taking some of our Parking & Housekeeping staff to this event, as Cloverdale prefers Team Members a little more seasoned. We will once again be providing a shuttle service to get to and from the Rodeo. Please let Serene or Melanie know if you are interested, or if you know anyone who would like some extra cash!!!!

Hear yea; Hear Yea, Serene will be out of the office from April 3 – 16, she will be taking her OFA and Security Courses during those two weeks.

Hear Yea; Hear Yea, Melanie will be out of the Country from April 9 – 15, lets make your lives easier by knowing your shifts and work sites!!! Brad will be on call and we all know how much he likes that!!!

1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
2. If they start out with, "How are you today?"say, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died . . . "
3. This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: "Hi, my name is Judy and I'm with XYZ Company. " You: Wait for a second and with a real husky voice ask, "What are you wearing?"
4. Cry out in surprise, "Judy? Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.
5. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends, would you be my friend?"
6. If the company cleans rugs, respond: "Can you get out blood? Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?"
7. After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you can't just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.
8. Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company, and they can't sell to employees.
9. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set the receiver down, scream, "Oh my God!" and then hang up.
10. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home numbers say, "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The Telemarketer will agree and you say, "Me either!" Hang up.
11. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
12. Tell the Telemarketer you are on "home incarceration" and ask if they could bring you some beer.
13. Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.
14. Tell the Telemarketer, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But I should probably tell you, I'm not wearing any clothes."
15. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. "Come on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how's your momma?"

Dave T - Security
Dave’s outstanding performance during the RV Show earned him the Best in Show. Dave stayed behind after his shift to help ‘MacGyver’ a water drainage system when the water just would not stop flowing. He would jump right in and get his feet wet to assist when the water got too high around the tent. His practical jokes and quick wit kept everyone above the water. Thanks Dave

Jon F – Parking
“Dancing” Jon as he is known to other parkers entertained the masses during the Antique Show. His rather entertaining dancing and positive outlook kept everyone in the lot in high spirits even though they were cold and wet. Many comments were heard form guests and clients about the ‘Dancing guy’. Jon’s willingness to keep on smiling and go that extra mile earned him Best in Show.

Charlotte H – Housekeeping
Nothing phases this lady. She is always smiling and making others feel comfortable no matter who they are. Her great attitude makes her approachable when others need assistance. And her own quality of work is top notch. She was always first to get her hands dirty when things needed done. No amount of wax during the Collector Car show could make a car outshine her.

Birthday Greeting to:
Aaron Low
Jamie Udell
Nathan Tinsley
Rob Ironside
Paul Manuel

And thanks for all my Happy Wishes and especially my Barbie!!

Speaking of Nathan, Dave T says “If you want someone to take care of the Tradex doors, Nathan is the Man!!” Job well done NATHAN

Happy St. Patrick’s Day,
Peter don’t drink too much green ale!!

Condolences to Roger G and his family on the loss of his Father in Law.

Thanks everyone for the Excellent job at the Boat & Sportsmen Show!! Once again we will be receiving compliments form the show management. By the way, do you know that we have included and “Option 4” to our phone system. That’s right anytime Bill (kilo 1) requests extra staff he calls 604-850-0636 and selects option 4. Give it a try see what happens.

Currently we are turning away Security Business. If you know anyone interested in obtaining part time work as Security but needs their BST please let us know. Take Serene for example, by the end of April Serene will be the newest BST OFA Team Leader. Best of luck to her as she takes her courses in the next couple weeks.

TRADEX:
PARKERS – PUT YOUR EQUIPMENT AWAY!!!!!!
KEEPERS – don’t lend out our equipment
EVERYONE- keep signing in & out good job!!!!!

Good Bye and Best Wishes to Jeff Larsen.

This Day in History:
March 10 1964 Mustang sallies forth
The first Ford Mustang was produced on this day. The Mustang wasn't released to the public until April 16, 1964. However, one journalist described its unveiling as "the most sensational introduction of modern times." The Mustang was the result of Ford's desire to make a small, sporty car which was inexpensive enough to appeal to young car buyers, an increasingly important market. The Mustang was the brainchild, or at least the mouthchild, of Ford executive Lee Iacocca. "Outside the industry, Iacocca, who controlled the publicity for the car, was always considered the father of the Mustang... Within Ford, however, Don Frey, the product manager, was seen as the brains behind it." But to sell short Iacocca's impact as a salesman would be a mistake. The car's development never would have made it past the reluctant upper echelons of Ford management without Iacocca's push. Iacocca stressed the Mustang as a whole new breed of Ford: muscular, small, and young. The base price of the car was only $2,368, but buyers averaged over $1,000 of extra features. Iacocca said, "People want economy so badly they don't care how much they pay for it." Over its first two years the Mustang earned $1.1 billion in profits for Ford. Iacocca
created an astounding The 1964 Ford Mustang
media blitz Photo courtesy of Ford Motor Company surrounding the car's release. He and the Mustang made the covers of Time and Newsweek, and the car appeared in every major business and automotive publication. Historian Gary Witzenburg explained, "No new car in history had ever received the publicity and attention that the media lavished on Ford's sporty small car."

APRIL 1ST, this is no Fool’s Joke:
SPRING AHEAD when you go nite-nite; turn your clock ahead so you are at work on time for April 2nd!!!!!!

ALL SECURITY
CHECK THE REVISED SCHEDULE AND CONFIRM YOUR SHIFTS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
