JJ wish you the best We'll still be here haha.

Wayne... shift boots you say????

Got a few inches of snow this morning. Cleaned off the Monte and drove to the train no problems. Now it's clearing up, hopefully up in the Poconos is the same way? (Ryan let me know how stuff is later since I'm driving up tonight )

Morning Everyone,

So far this is NOT a good morning. Irritated is the most mild word I can possibly think of right now to describe how pissed off I am. I was not supposed to have to come into work till 10am today because I close out on Friday's. Well, my employee decided to not show up at 5:30 this morning, no call, no show. So at 5:45 my cell start blowing up with workers telling me the office was closed. So I tried calling my empolyee about 15 times, with no answer....So, I had to get out of bed, throw on some clothes, NOT get to take my shower, and rush to work. So I am not happy about that situation, nor am I happy about the fact that I need to be at work until 7pm tonight still...

Anyway, end of rant.

So the auto show last night was fun. Lots of nice new cars. I must say, GM sure has changed, and IMO for the better (minus the fact that the Monte was discountinued). All the GM cars were really nice, and the interiors were nicer than ANY Toyota I sat in. The new Buick Lacross was a really nice looking, luxurious car. The interior of the Buick was very similar to the CTS, also another awesome car. The Camaro, awesome as usual. The Corvettes, awesome as usual, especially the maroon ZR1 that was there...DROOLS!

I hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!

Keep warm Space! Gotta protect those Florida oranges!!! I woke up to blowing an drifting snow. What was weird is the roads out by my house (2 lane country roads) were good, but when I got closer to work (heavily populated) the roads were horrible - couldn't make out the lines on the road, and I almost got stuck turning right onto one of the streets.

Hi `Michael,
Hope nothing bad happened to your employee ?
I'm learning that there are many that don't act their words
"Don't walk their `talk"

Do you have the power 2 fire ?
Maybe J.J. can put in a application ?
Did you take any pic's @ the show ?

Oh, Bad days reminds `us to enjoy the good days
when they return...Hope they return soon 4 U
and member's that are hav'in bad ones 4-Sure.

Oh, Changed your MOTM on 2days blog : )
Hope it's `ok
Wish EveryOne Better Days, there are so
many that have it worse then `us.
We must look @ what we have : ),
so many don't : (
Peace/Out

p.s. Thanks `Amy, wish you better conditons on your roads.
`Mike, Monte's Rule 4-Sure

Amy, be safe out there!

I forgot to mention in my first post that I got the Monte back last night. They replaced the intermediate steering shaft. So far, seems to be fixed! Wow, the steering feels so much better now. I'm so glad to have it back!

Space, I do have the power to fire. But before I jump to any conclusions, I want to A) make sure he is ok, and B) here his side of the story. I am, and always have been a pretty fair manager, so i'm not going to make any decisions without talking to him. Plus on another hand, i'm a bit worried about him, I hope something didn't happen.

I like the new MOTM upgrades to my picture Space! Thanks!
