HER Career
it with “excellence.”
“We can’t afford not to be that way on equip-
ment,” Young said.
“An older gentleman comes and he’s (baffled)
like ‘You girls are going to load my stuff?’” McGuire said. “(But they’re not like that) all the time. We’ve come way past that and people know now that we’re good at it.”
“They’ve become confident in us,” Young said. “We don’t mind lifting heavy items,”
McGuire said.
“And getting dirty,” Young added. “If we’re
clean, we’ve been behind the desk for too long.” “And we’re ladies,” McGuire said. “We can be
grubby, and then we also like to dress up.” McGuire said that when she was going into the sod and turf business it felt like it was an abnormal
job for women.
“When we first got here it was me and Vicki
and my little son. I’d bring him to work, eight hours
of the day we did nothing but talk, talk to our cus- tomers and teach until they learned to trust what we had to say,” she said. “And like I said earlier, they would look at women getting on that equipment and they’d go ‘Don’t mess up my truck.’ You know what I’m saying? But we drive (equipment) with tenderness and consciousness.”
McGuire said her favorite part of her job is meeting “all different kinds of people” and appre- ciating who they are.
