I became a close acquaintance with a man and his brother who owned a lot of Gravel companies and earth moving equipment in the area. One day I asked him if he had any job openings running his equipment or such. He told me to come around at the office to talk about it. I went to his office and there was his "Accountant", a very sicillian gentleman who did nothing but glower at me the whole time. The conversation about doing work for my acquaintance soon turned into a lecture about loyalty and commitment to the company and he jokingly added that people who weren't loyal were made to disappear by his brother. We all chuckled. Then My acquaintance conferred very quietly and in italian with his accountant and they told me to come back in a few months to see whether any jobs opened up. I didn't check back and am very grateful for that.
