I'm Rick Arrington, service manager at SunSouth Demopolis. I've been with SunSouth for about five years now, and there's really no typical day at SunSouth in the service department. Every day is a different day. And actually, that's part of what I like about the job is you never know what you're going to deal with from day to day, things always moving and changing. So we're just here to react and try to help our customers as they have problems and issues. And part of what I like about my job is I get to be with this bunch of guys every day, and we really have kind of formed a bond and a team, and I think that's made our service department better because we are working like a team, better than we ever have. What I enjoy, I guess, most about the job is when I get to go out and visit customers in the field. I get to see their operations and learn a little bit more about what they need for their particular farm. You know, I like that it's different every day, too, that we. We may be dealing one minute with a grandmother's weed eater, and the next minute we may be dealing with a farmer's cotton picker or combine. So we run the spectrum of customers, and what we try to do is to treat each one as if theirs is as important as the next. In my free time, which there's not a lot of, but in my free time, I like to spend it with my family. My kids are both grown pretty much, so any chance I have to travel and see them is enjoyable to us. And I've got to go golden retriever. That gets a lot of my free time, and we have a good time. So my dog and my kids.
