Default new program at work

We're doing this program at work, that has us wearing pedometers. I never knew I walked so much at work. I averaged 7.3 miles in the last two days. That's insane...lol

Anyone interested in putting together a local Seibon Group buy? If we get 12 to 15 people on board we will get a deeper discount.

BTW, my keyboard has a protective cover on it so no worries about drooling.

Get enough ordered and we could be looking at $500ish hoods, just as an example.

To get any real idea I would need people to throw their names in the hat with what they intended to buy.

About $925, but she worked out a cash deal, plus the dealership in Rockwall owed her touch up, so she's down to $523.

3hree5ive0ero yeah you were speaking for everyone ;P

Nissan is replacing the thermostat now (luckily I'm not having to pay for that) and if there's still a problem I'll have to replace the radiator =/ Oh well. I have a brand new plenum spacer and popcharger waiting for my baby when she gets back

No I don't have a warranty though It's an 04 with over 100k miles ):

Nice work there Chef-J! Where's that at?

Glad you got that worked out JLS! Did you find out about cameras around the parking lot?

Nah, no good. They are.the roaming.type and she wouldn't have been parked close enough even if it happened when the cam was looking that direction.

I'm getting kind of tired of going in to work early for meetings that I'm beginning to find are pretty much pointless. The amount of material that we are discussing could easily be sent in an email or over a five minute phone call instead of making me drive 30 miles on traffic either before I'm supposed to be at work or even on my day off. And I'm not getting paid for any of these meetings. I can't wait for things to settle back down at work or at least have them pay me what in supposed to be making. End rant.

Possibly since I'm probably getting another promotion if nit a double promotion where I skip a rank all together. This new company is full of a bunch of pansies. I did more work as a sergeant than one of their lieutenants and one of their captains combined. So I'm probably jumping from lieutenant to senior captain over all armed accounts.

Pat, keep up all your hard work and try not to let the slackers keep you down.

All I can say over the years of working...whether it is in Sales, Retail, Customer Service, or Creative.....you just need to stay cool and NEVER burn a bridge. Your doing the right thing by just putting in good hard work and letting the powers to be see your commitment. Don't worry about the loser's below you...they will eventually move on or get fired. I have learned that there is always a time and place to express your personal opinions of your workers and colleagues to your superiors.

Keep your chin up ! I can tell you have a good work ethic & your personal life follows.
