Two Week Notice

Something to do with that $80K order perhaps? Maybe the president saw you drooling as she shook your hand and thought it was too cute?

Either way congrats!....I think?

But now who's going to drive that mining truck with your name on it? I don't think I could handle the commute.
 
I will STILL take the job at the coal mine if it comes across my plate.

I cant believe this.

Well it COULD have been due to a new LARGE client requesting 700 webcams a few days ago OR the OTHER $50K I sold on top of the $83K. :punk:

That saved my hide! :coolshade
 
keep in mind - this is likely only a stay of execution, not a pardon.
keep on your toes, actively seek new employment, and once you get a new job, ask the boss lady out for dinner.

:rolf2::rolf2: Ohhhhhh MAN! I get nervous every time I talk to her because I cant say what I generally would. I WANT to flirt with her but I cant. So my mind goes through filters to make sure Im saying proper things. The filters of course make me hesitate and I end up sounding like William Shatner when I talk. :blush:
 
so when you do end up handing in your resignation, you'll have the perfect opening line.
"Now that there's no longer any possible conflict of interest, would you like to join me for dinner?"
 
well, drat.
OK, apply for the Wyoming job, it's very pretty country out there, and at $48k, you could afford the $800 a month apartment, pay off the Camry, sell it AND the Vic, and buy a jeep at federal auction so you'll be able to get to work in the middle of winter.
 
and buy a jeep

A JEEP? :huh: No way man. Jeeps are junk. They drive like crap, extremely uncomfortable, tiny, crappy on gas, crappy on reliability and WAY overpriced. Im just going to drive that coal haulin truck back to my place. :biggrin:

you're thinking Jeep Wrangler.
I'm thinking Grand Cherokee, Commander, or even Liberty, all of which are good vehicles - otherwise, why would so many of them be used in gov't services where reliability and the ability to get where you need to be are critical?

Hey.......I have 2 jeep wranglers, a 91, my on & off road toy, and a 2006........last of the real jeeps in my opinion...........They're the greatest thing since sliced bread..........use them in the proper context & they are by far the coolest vehicles I've owned.......it's a JEEP thing....you gotta own one to understand !!
 
Ok Sushi, now is the time to get your application into Rio Tinto. As of today the job postings/openings are for haul truck drivers at Cordero Rojo, Jacobs Ranch and Antelope coal mines. The process closes the 15th and they will be hiring quickly for all three mines. Get it into them ASAP and get ready for an interview and drug testing. They will most likely call you soon after if they like your resume and feel you would fit. You may want to also call them also as the squeaky wheel gets the grease. After you get the ap into them pm me.............

Serious loss of man card points. Have you ever been hard rock wheeling in a Jeep? Others do it, but not like a Jeep! They're little so they manuaver... And bad reliability? Sources???

Deadly Sushi said:
I would probably get a Toyota Truck

Serious loss of man card points. Especially to pick a Toyota over a Jeep. Some older Toys work ok off road. But they sure do not replace a Jeep, nor what a decent Jeep with a decent driver can do...

Besides... You need the job first... Think positive, get job :D

like you say, wranglers are great - in context.

a cherokee or commander can do almost as well on the trails as a stock wrangler, but are suitable for a lot more day to day chores as well. (like keeping the weather out, being able to carry 4 people comfortably somewhere and arrive with their kidneys intact, etc...)

First, RNE228 is correct, get the job first!

Second, Toyota hands down over the jeep ANY DAY.

Jeeps are great for off roading "jaunts", but man, try driving days loaded down with gear in a jeep with a couple of guys. That expereince cured me of ever wanting a jeep.

I think he was pretty serious about not liking Jeeps! :doh:
 
I got fired today around 9:30 today. My my largest client didnt pay up and were put on credit hold. Once youre on credit hold, ya cant BUY anything. If you cant buy anything I cant sell anything. They promissed they would pay their 90 days past due stuff last week Tuesday. Nothing happened. We called every day. Finally they said we would recieve payment on Friday. Nope. Nothing. So SOMEONE is going to get a nicer commission check this month when the company DOES recieve payment of the $125K. PLUS the client wants to buy another $100K worth of stuff.

Awwww shit man. :( Its ok though. I ran out of clean T-shirts anyhow. :cry: I even went to that darn Sunday event. :hammer:

BTW I went and filed for nonemployment. What a depressing place. I'll be OK though.
 
Sushi, I'm sorry to hear that although it is not unexpected.

GOOD LUCK with finding a great new job!

Jim
 
You kind of knew it was coming. For the company to let you go just because the client didn't pay is not your fault.

You are just going to have go and dig hard Sushi. We will be all thinking of you here.

When I first got out of the Coast Guard we moved to Ohio from Alaska for a few years, I went to the unemployment office there, it was also my last visit, you are right about it being depressing.

I took the first check, bought a chainsaw and started to cut/trim trees for people and sold firewood. Made about three hundred a day which in the late seventies and early eighties wasn't too bad, not to mention got me in pretty good shape after a few weeks of a lot of aches and pains....

After that I took a job on the local Sheriff's department and still cut wood part time since it paid a lot more...
 
I'm sorry Paul.
:(
Now's the time to think positive and get your act moving.
You have no choice.
No time for pussyfooting around ma dear.
 
Thanks guys. Yeah. I knew it was coming. Still didnt prevent me from having some very moist eyes shaking the hands of my fellow co-workers and thanking them for their help and telling them I enjoyed working with them as teammates. Some really good folks there.

Thing is.. me getting canned IS my fault. I should have had more clients. Dont get me wrong. I kicked ass as best as I could, but I should have had more clients that purchased more. I should not have been canned either. I worked harder than any other rep there. And just not harder. I worked damn smart too. At least I wont have to go to that Obama church.
