Just something to consider! To tide you over til you get the Job your interested in.
It would come with a raise..probably $4-$8 more than what I'm getting now..but I've seen what this company does to its higher up staff, its got way too much responsibility and is too needy for only a few dollars more. Not worth the position when I can make double the amount at other companies. But I have thought it through & its hard enough trying to set up a detailing business as is now, the higher in this company you go, the harder it is to 'live'




stop it! I'm getting hungry! XD
spent my last dollar on a high fat, high calorie moon pie...holding me off a bit i guess.

Hmm, you should check if any of the people you work with slacking off came from the three AZs in Lake County Ohio, your problems are sounding much like the BS from the AZ stores around me....

I understand being a manager has it's issues, but if you are working that long, I believe the law states you are entitled to a break. Again, I get in retail, life does not always work the way the law says it should. But some how, you should be able to get a meal.

Im still envious of you getting to drive is new Camaro!
As im sure you may know... or not...
I still cant find that dang Intake duct!
Im hopeing the day turns out nice in your neck of the woods to get caught up on your Monte.
The wedding was great, the Camaro was fun. Mike has learned driving a stick shift well (as his last Camaro, the purple one, was his first stick shift car experience if I recall). For a v6, that car has some nice giddy up!!
And don't worry, your air duct is still on my list to check on junk yard trips (I just haven't been on a run for a while, other projects preventing leisure trips to the yards).

And on that note, weather has FINALLY cleared up. Off to go play with a PCM re-learn on the Monte and see if she'll start for the first time this year!!

Osha regulations state you must take a lunch when working I believe 6.5 hours or more. They're very strict about punching out for lunch where I work.

Good Evening EV1!

My stepson just finished up with the Monte... Feathered it in, Wet sanded it the clear cote, wheeled it out used some polish Cleaner especially for black!
Talk about a Killer shine! OH MY GOD! Who would have ever thought 14 yr old paint could look so good!
Unfortunately I took these pics with my phone....But you get the idea.
Heres a better Pic of the rust repair...
Once he wheeled it out and feathered it in... He deceided he better do the rest of the car to match...
so Im posting a cpl pics of his hard work.
Granted the quality of the Pics arent that good.... But as you can see by the reflections in the Paint..
The Depth is certainly there!
My question is and pls be honest.... Do you think its "Show" worthy?
