Am I the biggest fool ever ???

[Ldub]

I thank you all...& just wanted to share a few of the "high points" I left out of the original post in the interest of not wasting webspace.

I showed up a little early, but dressed in shorts, old sneakers & a T-shirt that could best be described as "well worn".

As soon as the GM sat down I placed my voice recorder on his desk & said "you don't mind if I record this do ya ?" He said what for ?, to which I replied : I learned a LOT the last time I worked for you guys.

When I was let go last time, it was because I had gotten a DUI & they couldn't have me driving a company vehicle due to insurance reasons.
I brought up the fact that there have been a couple of instances since then where other employees have had the same thing happen & they're still driving company vehicles...& he is one of them...I told him that I didn't appreciate the "double standard' of those who smooch ***** having the rules bent for them....he didn't have much to say, something about not being able to change history.

I know there are more highly amusing bits on the recorder, but I hate the sound of my own voice when I hear it reproduced, so maybe I'll just leave it at that.

If you enjoy what you do you never have to work a day in your life. So why do something you wouldn't enjoy? Is the money really worth the stress and anxiety and unhappiness! I don't think so! SO I give you a big two thumbs up! Way to stick it to the man! I would have done the same thing. A+

Cece's right. If you enjoy your job,(from your post you do), your getting paid for doing something you really like. Not too many people have a job like that. That's what you call a blessing.

First, take the job because you like it. It pays well and you get benefits. Second, take Kenny's advice. If you get caught, what are they going to do?

Can't wait to see you at Elephant Hill.

Peace.

It fills good to stand up to the Man every now and then doesn't it? LOL

(Besides,ya don't sell your soul for 40k...our detailer made 37 last year find your own path...the Gods gave everyone a talent, exploit it.) And good for you! wayne

My sentiments exactly...bending to the mans will would make my existence seem so whore like that I wouldn't be able to look myself square in the eye whilst brushing my teeth in the morning.

I was in your shoes several years ago. After being out of work for five months I was getting desperate. I took a job in DC that entailed nearly two hours commute (each way) on the train. I was hired to write computer code, but quickly discovered that this company hed very strict rules concerning formatting and version control. Not my style. After one week I turned in my badge. A couple weeks later I was offered the job I have now. I love the laid-back environment in my group, even though it is a HUGE company (we spit in the eye of the IT group!). I'm making more then the first job, and even though my commute is still over an hour each way, I have the option to work from home when I want.

Regardless, I still check the local listing for jobs in my town. I'd consider a pay cut to work closer, as long as the job is right. I've paid my dues, worked for "the man", and want a job I want to go to.

I did 20 years in the Navy, so drug testing is no biggie to me. I even conducted a few in my day.
