Day 322 - Clark!
I want to introduce Clark! Clark is an older worker looking for a part-time job. He submitted his application at the Facebook Marketplace job fair. I actually went to Clark for the interview. Clark looked like he had some work ethic left, so I offered him the job. Clark accepted and is now a part-time BPo3/Jay's Custom Creations employee.
I'm not sure when Clark was born. I couldn't find any indication of a birth certificate. However, Clark is no slouch. Clark can lift around 3,000 lbs. That's more than I can lift, so I'll leave the heavy lifting to him. I'm unsure if Clark is originally from Clark, New Jersey, or Smallville, Kansas. Either way, Clark will likely work near New Albany, Mississippi, for the rest of his career.
I knew Clark would be a big boy. Clark weighs 6,700 lbs. While you may think that is a lot, most of his co-workers weighed much more, as they could lift much more. Clark's new place of employment has a 4" concrete slab that we didn't want damaged. One great benefit of Clark is that he can reach the top shelf! 188 inches, to be exact.
Clark has all of the specs that we want. I hope his work ethic lives up to the cost of his employment. We paid Clark's former employer a signing bonus of $4500 and provided a $350 roll-back relocation package. When I first saw Clark, he had a "Will work for propane" sign on his seat. I hope the terms don't change.
