I'd be off the floor. We'll see what happens.
Oh wow, that's rad man. Would be a great move!

Career update:

I will continue to not move up whilst whoring myself out at the highest rate I possibly can for as long as I can. I think I am the one of the longest lasting Service Engineers in the corporation in North America! :fuckyeah: :derp:

They're going to be lucky if I finish out my day here today. My porter/lot attendant is a no call/no show, my office phone support people (there's usually two part timers here from 9-1 on saturday to fend off phone calls so I can do my job in the morning before it dies) worked from 9-11am and left to go to the shore, and I only have one technician on duty with 6 appointments because the regular guy on the rotation left 3 months ago and my service manager STILL hasn't updated the calendar for Saturdays.

I'm getting really sick of nobody else giving a fuck.

Come down with some “food poisoning” from Saturday’s lunch and :nope: out.
It’s all gone, and the snarky all users email I sent to the dealership won’t let me use that as an excuse now...

You really don't know what you have 'til it's gone. Who else will care to comment on the leaky, moldy roof tiles?
