I work for a municipality in the summer I know the routine, I just keep my head down, do my job and offer to help when needed.

Don't ever be afraid of being that guy that wants to go the extra yard either.
Don't worry about what your co - workers think about you when you do that.
Tell them simply, I like earning my lettuce.
Leaders lead and are never afraid to step to front, raise their hand and say here I am , I will do that poop!
If you be that guy that stands in the middle with all the other "floaters" on the jobsite your paycheck is going to resemble you being a floater. (Something I have preached to each one of my 6 children since the day they were born)
If you are that guy that stands in the front and tells your boss, "give me the (frank)ing ball , I want to run with that mother (frank)er" , your paycheck will certainly resemble that as well.
Which is what I did when I was 21 with a very large concrete company.
The construction industry has no room for drama queens nor floaters.
If you end up being one of those, you will be lucky to work one day out of the week coming out of the Union hall.
Let me know when you are serious my friend. I can take you down to the Union hall.
I will have some spare time during the winter when I take my few month resting period that I have earned.

Quick story Ken.
I seen Teddy Nolan last week walking across the street on my site at canalside.
Before the Caps preseason game, morning of.
I was shocked it was him so early in the morning at 7:30 am walking to the arena.
I said hey Teddy.
He stopped with no hesitation.
I just walked up to him in all my construction gear , fist bumped him and said, lets rock this poop this year Teddy.
He said , you know it!!
Then he looked down into our site and said hey it's coming long huh Dave?
I said yea Teddy we are supposed to be done by mid November.
He then said with a smile, "must be nice to have some coin huh David" ?
He must have thought that site was part of Pegula's Harbor center site too.
I didn't have the heart to correct him.
Just was an awesome exchange for 7:30 in thew morning.
Teddy is a great dude!!!

Myers and Ennis aren't leaders and Grigs shouldn't be wearing a letter yet. They picked correct on the Captains .
- SABRES 89


Ennis isn't a leader but Myers is. If you do not know that by now you must not have watched him play on the ice. On and off the ice he is a role model even at a such a young age.

Instead of Moulson I would've gone with one guy from in house.

IDK if he flat out said it, but he is not captain material. He is described at aloof and out to lunch by teammates Ive talked to. That's not what you want in a guy with a letter.

I never thought of him as captain material. Good contributor and nothing more. Some people have the wrong idea of what a captain is.
