No I imagine not. I've got about a 45 minute drive and I better have Drako to keep me company

I can get there a lot quicker in my truck but I usually keep the buggy off the highway because its geared too low. The scenic route is usually what I'm after anyway when I'm driving it.

Right, makes perfect sense I like scenic. Scenic usually equals some mud I almost detoured on my way home tonight to go through an area that gets shallow water over the road after rain

Sucks to be you then ...you could ride with us the last 45 minutes

Oh thanks....people would be jealous though

 

[Suprtek]

BTW, the edges on these machetes still kinda suck, but they're better than the way they came.

I'm sure they'll be even more fun to destroy now..thanks again Supr!!

And you might have to wear pants.

[irishfan]

And you might have to wear pants.

Ya, I would have to buy some first

 

[ljadayton]

One or two somewhere along the line I RARELY wear pants wants it gets above 50 degrees outside. I am a shorts person unless I am going somewhere.

I'll wear capri's but I haven't worn shorts, like actual shorts in years I think capri's are borderline even for me to wear to work since I'm a manager. I push the dress code every day good thing they need me

I push civil code everyday but people soon realize I just don't care what they think.

civil code? Our dress code calls for slacks. I wear cargo's. Manager's aren't supposed to have functioning pockets I guess

Years ago, advancement was out of the question at the company I worked for unless you wore a suit and tie every day even though we worked on machines full of nasty black ink. I did it for years until I realized management wasn't all it was cracked up to be. I still do the same kind of work, but I can wear jeans every day now if I want.

Well, the way our company is structured, my next promotion would be to Assistant Store Manager. In Indy, there are, ready? 2 ASM's. And 2-3 department manager's at each store times 6 stores in Indy. So 12-18 people shooting for 1 of 2 jobs. And THAT's only if one of those 2 either gets promoted or leaves the company. So I might as well enjoy myself at work ...I'm gonna be at this level for a while probably

At one time I was a field supervisor with team of 7-10 techs and a territory covering about a third of the city. I actually enjoyed it but my problem was a service manager that made a habit of getting played by techs that were whining about something and changing my orders without talking to me first. I don't work that way. After the third time, I told him he could keep his supervisors job and I'm going back to the field full time.
