Yes, don't think he told us his last name. He told us about a 1 of 1 Citrus Green LS6 he had and sold a while back.

Good evening. I will be sore again tomorow...............or maybe the day after (usually hits me the 2nd day), but it was a good workout today.

Work sucks! Every day I hear something else that is going to make things at work suck more. Did you ever learn a little thing that by it's self would not have been a big deal at all but it came at a time when it had that last straw kind of effect? That happened to me today. I was already pondering on all the changes that are coming and thinking of how much I dread it all. Then my boss comes in & says that they are not going to buy us calendar books to use in scheduling our clients anymore. I was suddenly soooooooooooooo pizzed off.

They think because we have a schedule on the computer we don't really need a paper one. Do they know that I can't even schedule myself a doctor's appointment without looking at my work schedule to try to figure out what day would be the least of a pain in the butt to reschedule. It is sooooooooo much easier to just look at my paper schedule book & find an available appointment time that suits a client and THEN put it in the computer. I can quickly look at my calendar book & when I need to find a time for a meeting or something like that & it is simply not that quick & easy to access my schedule on the computer wherever I happen to be.

Okay, I feel better. I just needed to vent!

Have a good evening.

Ever wonder if your are being "tested" to see just how much BS you will put up with? I went through this, but I didn't break.

Might need to make a business case to continue with your paper version. Describe how much easier and "error-free" it is for you. Otherwise, I think they may have to supply a computer to take with you.

I don't know about your particular work situation, just offering some unprofessional support.

HERE at my work we call it SHAKING the TREE to see who falls off the limb. They'd rather see people quit then lay them off.

Exactly! They even come up with ridiculous rules and procedures that interfere with expediting your duties. These are beginning to disappear from my environment.

It just feels like one more thing & I will run screaming out the front door. I won't, but I feel like it. Seriously though If I came up with away to make the same amount of $ doing something else.........................I might just make that run for the front door.

We all would.

My employer agreed to let me work at home everyday. For that, I am grateful and look the other way from the dumb stuff.

Screaming is what they want you to do. Don't give them the satisfaction (I know you won't).

Good morning. I sure did not want to drag my butt out of bed this morning, but here I sit just the same. Just finished my breakfast & now it is coffee time. Last night's rain is gone & it is colder here this morning. I better get myself going now. HAGD.

We received bad news today that our favorite ma & pa owned restaurant is closing this weekend. Very sad news for the neighborhood.

[RubyCamaro]

Sorry your local dive is closing Rick.

Good Friday Eve gang. Mike & I have decided to go to a small car show in town Saturday. It is a benefit for a local Christian school. There is a breakfast first then carshow. No entry fee, just donations. I just need to get Ruby out with some car guys. It is supposed to be clear but cold so Mike will take Red Raider too. I actually got to leave work early today; last 2 clients cancelled. One more short day of work & it is the weekend!

Thanks Jan. It was a real cool place and the food was great. The place was all about America. Each table top was decorated with memorabilia from each state. We donated a whole lot of Maryland stuff.

We sat at the Tennessee table, someone did a nice job with it.

[RubyCamaro]

That is a shame Rick. Maybe you can get back the stuff you donated to remember it by.

Good morning all. It is c-c-c-ooooold here this morning. In the low 30's & a few local cities even in the 20's. The weather man said that 4-letter "S" word this morning. Maybe on Tuesday a little s-n-o-w. Noooooooooooo. To soon for that. It might be pretty chilly for a car show on Saturday. We shall see. Happy Friday everyone! I need coffee now.
