so check it out, that car I was bitching about for the credit and such, came back. For the part that was never ordered. And when office guy came to ask me about it, I simply replied, The passanger side? Yeah that was on the supplement I sent out, that got approved, that you didnt order. **** him

Girl at church stated she was looking for a job, so I told her to stop by the shop, and she got the mother ****ing job.

Slowly weening out these dumb ****s and actually become a family again.

I turned the sarge on the office guy bad too, they have been at it all day. Im so happy

I didnt even think she would get an offer, seeing my boss has always been scared to hire a chick because of his wife.

she is a single mom too, has 2 kids, and I figured who wouldnt want to work harder right?

Im pretty happy how today turned out

He already racked me one good time already when we were on the floor playing.

Waiting to see what the hurricane does but still holding steady with current plans for now. The projected track seems to be slowly inching more and more to the right as the days go buy. The more right the better. On the Disney forum a lot of people are rescheduling for October or later. As long as Orlando doesn't leveled it looks like there might be a reduced crowd level.

I parked in the top tech parking spot near the entrance door this morning and got a flat tire on the way to work too. Luckily it went fully flat as I was pulling into the parking lot. Going to suck it up and get a full set and alignment.

They canned another tech this morning. He had been on thin ice for a while so no real big surprise. 2 in less than a week so it getting interesting.

alot of people panic. This one is moving fast.Not like Harvey that stopped. Only reason I been checking NHC to see if any of our ports are hit. We are sailing ou of Lauderale unless it gets severe damage

Taking tomorrow off from work to get some tires and a front end alignment for the Suburban. I also have to work on the draining pipe for the property. My driveway goes over it and if I don't shore up the sides to keep it from washing away I am going to be in big trouble.

this chick is working out well!

Boss and I agreed the office is her office now.

Office guy, well, he didnt have anything to do, and he looked pissy and moapy

New girl understands to not really let the sarge or office guy say or do anything, she could tell they werent the ones to ask questions or talk to

Im happy, boss is happy, Office is insanely organized and clean, and its nice seeing a nice smile,and having someone personable who can talk to anyone about anything.

Whats not nice, is when I get stupid ****ing questions about me hitting that............. Yes I may take her home, or well go get lunch, but shes a friend, and right now, I really dont have a physical attraction to anyone because, I like money, and I work, and I dont care too because the weather is getting cooler and my trucks and side business are calling my name............

Sarge and office guy also tried to corner me while I was under a truck and confront me about some ****, to which they got a good *** chewing while I was under the truck................ But thats a bad spot to be on their end, my legs are like a ****ing jack hammer........................

Yesterday was spend money I didn't really have day. Ended up getting 4 new tires and alignment for the Suburban. The front 2 tires were worn out from a bad alignment and I picked up that piece of metal in the left rear on Tuesday.

With the remnants of Irma looking like it will come our direction I had to buy 5 tons of gravel and 6 bags of cement to shore up the drainage pipe going under my driveway. Any heavy amount of rain and I would have been in big trouble. I walked the dry creek bed and cleared the channel from brush and limbs. Found 2 pretty significant blocks in the water flow and got them cleared out.

Today going to cut down any dead trees close to the pasture so they don't fall on the fence if we get any high winds.

Worked on dead trees and branches around the property again yesterday. I have pretty much done what I can do getting ready for whatever wind and rain Irma brings us.

Still planning on going to Disney but waiting to to see how it all plays out.

Maybe they are thinking it will just skip over you!!

We are expecting wind gusts up to 45 mph up here. Yesterday I was thinking of getting a generator since they say they are expecting wide spread power outages thru Georgia. I have always wanted one as a back up but decided not too. I am second guessing myself today.
