The Starting Line Up

Life as a Bachelor is about living in a house with three other guys, all working in the automotive industry for the same company but different locations. We have different backgrounds and different goals. Here is a break down of who is who:

George:
George is the owner of the house. He is married with 4 kids. His wife and kids live in Dewitt, close to her family. His wifes name is Allison, we refer to her as Big AL. He is currently working in Holland as a Business Unit Manager, we call them BUM's. George is a big guy, not only in stature but in personality. He is an immigrant from Romania.
George and I have worked on and off together at different plants for almost 2 years. He wants to be an AGM.

Rod:
Rod is the oldest. He is a hillbilly from Allegan. He has a girlfriend, Cookie who lives in his house in Allegan. Rod is loud and strait forward, he tells it like he sees it. He has recently picked up drinking after being dry for 5 years. This has made him more fun and more obnoxtious. I have known Rod as long as I have been at Magna Donnelly. Rod is a good guy and really wants to help people. Rod is a BUM in Newaygo. He hasn't been in the role long but has excelled in his new role.

Joe:
Joe is the youngest in the group. He is just out of College and he is a daddy's boy. The first part should make him a great, the second half ruins it all. This is Joe's first real job. He has never worked in his life and it shows. He is messy, he barely works 8 hours a day and he can't do anything for himself. He drives a BMW SUV, has really nice stuff he doesn't take care of, and trashes our house. I have lots of good stories about this one. He doesn't say it but he is a conspiracy guy. Some time I will tell you his story about how the government controls the clouds. Joe is the "Bitch" at one of our Holland plants. He doesn't know what he wants to do. He just wants to manage people.

Adam:
You know me and you love me. I am the materials manager in the Newaygo Plant. I want to be an AGM. I have a wife, Em that you all know. I am just a simple farm boy, from a small town trying to get to some where better. I am a work a holic and I am ok with that. I enjoy it. I find self satisfaction in what I do. How many people can say they love their job? I can and I think that is important. Now my goal is to find balance, between work and the rest of my life. That includes God and my family and friends. Just like work I like to have fun at the same pace.

George and Rod and I are like brothers. We all have our different personalities but we also look out for each other. That is what makes this place so much fun. We come back to the pad after long days at work and we listen to what each has to say. If someone needs to go take care of the fam, the other two will pick up the slack at work and at the house.
