dms26 3 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Effective July 31st, I am no longer a slave to the corporate machine. Instead, I will be pursuing the lower-paying, shakier-future career of being a bowling pro shop operator. Very exciting to be liberated. This is gonna be my time. Time to taste the fruits and let the juices drip down my chin. I proclaim this - the Summer of Log!Congrats on getting out of the dildo business Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 You're really jacked up for NFL Preseason?Just NFL in general, yes I'm excited. Obviously CANT WAIT for regular season, but Preseason is closer and thus what I am looking forward to first.Actually starting this month my truck insurance just dropped to $340 a month. I was over the moon. We pay about $750 a month in car insurances and my truck payment of $500 a month. Granted I've had my licence suspended so that's probably why it's so high.That is just insaneI bought my own car as well as paid for my own gas and repairs and insurance.I have no idea what we pay for insurance - or anything else for that matter - but Ozz tells me we pay about $1500 a year for both our cars full coverage.We pay $1091/year for full coverage on Denny's SUV and my Jeep. It just went up to $1291 when we added Bethanys car yesterday. We do not have to add her to our policy until she turns 16 (Sept 7). He said to expect at least another $1000 at that point. So, I'm getting up uber early to get on a plane to CA. We're bringing Raist's laptop (smaller than mine) so I'll be checking in, but my grandma doesn't have internet so unless one of her neighbors has an unsecured internet connection, I'll be posting from a Starbucks or whatever when the opportunities arise. I'll be gone until the 30th.SAFE TRAVELS! HAVE A BLAST!On a sad note, some friends of Dave and mine lost their 5 year old boy early this morning. He was the youngest of three. He had a clotting disorder and took a fall that was seemingly minor, but caused a brain bleed. I can't imagine their anguish, and as much as I complain about my own kids being difficult, I wouldn't want to go through life without them.Seriously, I can't even begin to imagine. So awful. Has to be about the worst possible thing someone could go through in life.Effective July 31st, I am no longer a slave to the corporate machine.

Congrats!So I've been asked to meet with the owner and my sales manager in about 25 minutes (9 am cst). Guess I'll finally figure out what is going on and if I am still going to be employed here.

Smacciemac 3 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 So Bethany is has been in PA with her dad all week and is there this week. Appears he has bought her an old '96 Pontiac Sunfire that will be coming back with her.Odds on how much insurance is going to be on this mug?He bought the car.. he should foot the insurance..

Smacciemac 3 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Pretty sure it was my theory. Get a new theory, theory slut.You're mean parent if you make her pay for insurance. I had to put in my own gas and do repairs but my parents paid the insurance. Thanks mom and step dad!My parents made us all buy our own cars, insure them in our own name ourselves, pay for gas and repairs.. they said you want it, you pay for it.. So he is not so mean..

Smacciemac 3 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Also, your comment about the small laptop reminded me that I bought one of those Dell Mini's. It's badass. Pretty low-frills, but it's just gonna be for internet access basically. I wanted to get the smallest one possible for the upcoming trip and this came out to about $340 with the case. It's gonna be really convenient.That's what I wanted for my Bday!! How is it? Chris keeps insisting that he wants to buy me the Toshiba instead of the Dell because the Toshiba offers all the same everything except longer battery life than the Dell.

lvpro 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Very sweet. It'll be nice to do something you really enjoy.Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. Working with a lot of old friends, doing something I love and know I'm good at, and being the man in charge. It'll be fun. Link to post Share on other sites
lvpro 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 WTG! This should be exciting. Do you get to keep the righteous mutton chops?I actually already dropped the stache, but I do still have my burns. Those aren't going anywhere. I'm semi-courting a young lady, and figured the stache probably wasn't helping my chances, since she's already so far out of my league physically it's ridiculous. Luckily, I'm so goddamn charming it evens out. Link to post Share on other sites
lvpro 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Logan, voluntary or not?Either way, Excellent! Ya gotta do something you love doing! Voluntary, good sir. Been in the works for a couple of months - this is the main reason I didn't make it to Vegas this year, since we weren't sure when this was all going to go down. Could've happened any time in the last couple of months.Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well - mom and stepdad just re-modeled, so if I crap out, I'll just move into their garage and start making book or something. Link to post Share on other sites

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Someone on the Iowa football forum dug up a link to video of the 1939 Iowa versus top ranked Notre Dame game. Nile Kinnick, Iowa's only Heisman trophy winner was the quarterback and punter. Just really cool to watch. The neck tackles are brutal. If you guys are bored.. Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Geeepers C#$%@$% ^@%ADF $@#$%@$!I got a lot of thinking to do tonight.Long story short .... I'm fired from my existing job but I have been offered another job within the company that has a 20% pay cut but has a side commission incentive. I was asked to physically sign onto the new job this morning in the meeting but I did not sign anything as I really need to figure out what all the pros/cons are.My initial thinking is the side commission will not make up for the 20% pay cut and that is the cut from just my base. Right now I make base PLUS commission. This is essentially the same thing with out as many commission opportunities and a 20% pay cut.It is also an inside position versus an outside position so there would be no more traveling, sales appointments, quotas, etc which I guess is kinda cool.It's hourly vs salary which means back to a time clock, ugh.We mathematically can not live on a 20% paycut so I need to quickly figure out if A) I even want this position and B) If I do want it what will the new numbers realistically be. Hey, it's more than unemployment pays so I got that going for me I guess.So frustrating. Will basically be making about what I made when I started here near 11 years ago once again and let's face it, money now is not the same as money 11 years ago.Not sure if this is going to work longterm at all.
