This morning brings no better news, store manager said im crazy for wanted as much time off as i want and its not going to be possible and so on, i dont even want to think about it right now. I'll be home alone while everyone else is away on vacation.
Also my 97 is leaking oil, checked the level before i left work and its almost down to the ADD line, so i guess i gotta throw another quart in and get it to the shop to see whats going on.
Hi `Keane,
Wish you the best
Keep a positive attitude & keep working
Sorry again 2 read about your work & life problems 
=======================================
I've learned that the more that you have in life means the more that
you have to take care of & worry about. + the cost 
Having 3 cars is expensive to maintain/insure/license/etc.
Maybe you bit `off more then you can handle ?
Hopefully we learn as we travel this journey
called `life
I know that I had to sell my Monte to pay for college & life.
I don't have many material possessions, but my bills are paid.
I'm still saving for another ride
I've learned that I want to own my next ride & not have my ride
own me...It's not fun having a ride that you love, but don't have
the $'s to mod or take a road trip. Vehicles can be very expensive 4-Sure
====================================
Work is work & if you work for someone else, they set the rules.
You either follow their rules, or you leave or get fired.
If you are a good/reliable employee (?) they will want to keep you, &
if you are not, they will let you `go.
If you are not happy with your job ?, I'd keep doing your best, but
use your free time to seek other employment.
Until then, I would keep doing the best that you can `do.
Leave on a positive note. Future employer's check your past
employment & references are very important 4-real.

=======================================
Maybe being Home alone will give you the oppurtunity
to think about your future & revise your plan or make a new plan
on how to get to where you want to `be.
You have to be the driver of your life to get to where you
want to `be 4-Sure...No one but you can `do that.
want to `be 4-Sure...No one but you can `do that.
Wish you the best
Keep a positive attitude & keep workinghonest & hard. Giving `up to get is never easy, but `if you
want to get (?), always do the very best that you can
GOOD LUCK

Good mornin' all.
Thanks Devin...I think. 
It hasn't been too bad in my neck of the woods. We had a brief shower yesterday afternoon and it rained overnight but for the most part it has just been overcast and dry during the day. Of course, now that I just said that it will probably pour like a cow pissin' on a flat rock all day. Good ol' Murphy...
Edit: Wazzup 'Space? Good to see you online...you get a furlough?

Good morning MCF'ers.....Keane, reading about your job troubles makes me remember why it's nice to be retired. However, to get to this point I had to work a lot of hours for a lot of people who weren't always the best bosses. But it got me to this point, where I can work a few hours taking care of other people's kids and then go home to a quiet house.
The big light in the sky finally came back out (I think it's the sun) so I'm going to polish the Monte and take some new pictures. Have a great day!

Hi Seattle `Mike,
No furlough
, just a small break @ work It's good 2 see you online & I miss the time that I've had in my past to be active on the MCF. Life & work keeps getting in the way of having `fun Like I've posted to `Keane, I've been giving `up to get & giving `up to keep...It seems that nothing good in this life (or my life) is E.Z.
I'm just happy 2 `be & I'm doing my best to extract the best from everyday I'm given...
(Somedays are better & easier then others).Wish you & member's a Safe/Fun/Happy `Day!!!
It's time 4 me 2 return to work & follow the rules of the day..
Peace/Out
p.s. Hi `Angie & hi 2 Rick when he checks in

Good morning everyone.
So gas was down at $3.54 the other day and then yesterday I noticed it's back up to $3.89; a 35c jump in 24 hours. Must be because I need to fill-up now. Typical.
Working from home today and finishing laundry and a few other things. Last full day at home before my ninth Mexico "tour" starts tomorrow. Fun times... *sarcasm*. I can say it's a great experience but I'm about ready to have my normal life and schedule back anytime now.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning . 1st Keane i hope your reading this. When i got out of the Navy. I got a job at a tool & Die place. I was the lowest guy there. So I had the dirty jobs. The worsts hours and one MEAN *** boss! Did that job for 4 yrs. Yeah things got better after a couple of yrs. But then a better op came to me. I got a job at General Motors My pay increased almost double. I was on day shift. working from 8 am till 4 pm 5 days a week! Great huh ? No so fast. A month later I was bumped to afternoons. Cause he had more time then I did. So hear I am work from 4 to midnight Being the newest clown on the block. YUP I got the job No one else wanted. Came home every night smelling like a Skunk. . I can't quit this job.Theres no other place that pays like they did. plus the benfits. So I had to hang in there. taking what they had to dish out. months later I got bumped again. By another guy with more time then I had. But this time I was back on days . Tehn got transfered to over nights for a month. GOD I hated that shift. But it was a lot more $$ and less stress. I stayed on over nights the next 27 yrs . Keane By the time I got to retirement. I had guys begging for my job . I had a better job then my last 3 bosses had! So life isn't a bed of Rose's for sure. But you have to hang in there till something else comes up. Hell i worked for a BIG Co for 4 hrs and walked out once. At 1st I was the QUIET guy and just did what I was told. No argueing Just did the job. Got some respect and moved on up. Look at it this way. You have a JOB. A lot of guys oiut there DON"T ! Where would you be with out it ? THINGS will turn around for you. I have my fingers crossed for you. No one can tell you what to do. Only you can do that. But think about any move you want to make alot ! Almost any job is better then NONE ! Your friend. Rick

It's about 15 Pesos/Liter in Hermosillo, so that's basically $4.50/gallon US. Cost of living in Hermosillo is high compared to other areas of Mexico. I've also noticed they don't display the price/liter on the station sign out front.
