I remember,:eek: a long time ago (before water), us kids in high school were told that the leaps in tech would provide a 3 day, 18 hour work week. :)So,.... a question to all you computer guys. What happened? Can't you get this figured out?:D:D:D

Oh, it did! Technology provided an 18-hour work week and a worker's paradise for other people, just not for you. Or me.

Well, i dont know about you guys, but i work 40 hour work weeks, get overtime if i want to and sometimes i get it without working it. Sometimes i get 40 hours when i didnt work it. And i have about all the vacation and sick time i want. Apparently my company could care less if you go into the negatives with vacation... LOL. But, i still go to work 5 days a week and i try and work a saturday every once in a while to get a little extra money and to show that im a "Company Man". I like my job but i would much rather own my own business or have a business partner and co-own the business. I know it would be a lot more work and a lot more hours, but once you get your company established and everything, you kinda just sit back on the riches and let other people do the work for you while you are just the face of the company!

Haha, sure Anytime! If you guys want jobs, im sure your wives would appreciate you all taking major pay cuts lol. I started off at 10 bucks an hour. But, 2 years into it, im making well over that so i am happy. And i am already about to advance in another 6-8 months and they are going to buy me a company work truck (i wont have to use my own gas anymore!! YAY!!) and give me a free cell phone and AT LEAST a 2 dollar raise. So, i should be set when i get there. The only problem is, i am tired of working for other people and making them more money. I want to be the one with people working for him making him more money!!!!! I bet everyone in the world wishes that though and only few succeed at it.

I drive a water truck, I work about 36 hours in three days, I deliver thousands of gallons of water and I get 50 cents a year raise, oh did I mention that the A/C on the truck went out in July. You guys have jobs to die for. Petes 74 T Top.

:DI used to own my own company, and yeh.... I doubt I'd ever do that again. I make a far better "second in command" than leader, for some reason. You're doin' great there, Matt!! Look at your car! There's a measure of personal success if ever I seen one. :)

Haha, well my car isnt doing too hott right now so its not a very good measure of success in my opinion. But, i understand exactly what you are saying and thank you for the compliment Scotty ;) ! I am going to the place that worked on my car tomorrow to b**ch and complain to them that they are the scum of the earth and that they are the biggest idiots in the world! I have oil in my spark plug holes. It isnt coming from the valve covers so it has to be coming from inside the block. If thats the case, then SOME IDIOT put it back together wrong or something broke that shouldnt have broken. And i havent had the thing over 70 since ive had it back. I dont "gun it" at the lights, i dont rev my engine for no reason, i basically have babied the engine since i got it rebuilt and there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why this should be happening. So, anyway, im done complaining. I will talk to you guys later.

Haha, thanks Dave! Trust me, come tomorrow, this Arkansas native country boy is gonna be givin someone some hell! Theres no way im gonna let anyone pull a fast one on me. I found out from the Corvette Specialist i took it to, that either their prices are VERY high... or they charged me about an extra $2000 for the rebuild! That doesnt sound liek customer satisfaction to me.

OH MY GOD, you've GOT to be kidding me here, bro!!!!

What the hell were those guys smokin' before they started to wrench on your car??? I just can't believe what I just read here.... man, dude, you might even have a legal issue here on your side. I saw in that other thread that you are now working with a real Vette mechanic? I hope so, bro. This makes me incredibly angry for you, that you've gone through all this... not to mention the TIME it all took! Just to get it back in that condition....

I do not like lawyers and suing people etc. I hate to fight with people, but seriously Matt.... this has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous in no time flat. I wish I could do something to help you from here..... [&o] I guess the only thing I can suggest is do not take no for an answer....

Ya know Matt, I went through a very simular thing a while back. Consulted with a lawyer, got papers drawn up,( took about two weeks), went to serve him papers and guess what, he had closed up shop and was gone. I found out later that I wasn't the only one after him. I lost about $2500, but he's out of business, so I feel somewhat vindicated.
