The ship is sinking quick around here, we can see the iceberg, but nobody is doing anything about it. Engineers make it to the floor back here for 5 minutes to bitch at operators about hour by hour charts, then go back up front to their office. Really? And they wonder why all the good operators are quitting. El oh el.

Heh. Yeah. The world is full of REMFs. I would think real estate is still good in the D (fu Dallas people). However, that weather. I don't think I could go back. Ever. Good luck to you. We Detroit survivors need to stick together!

Market isn't too bad up there, but like you said, the weather has been a major deterrent, so counting on finding something here would be the best, at least for now.

Honestly, the only reason I'd go back is because of family. Everything else pretty much sucks, most notably the weather. Gotta go where the money is and it's a manufacturing-tropolis so might be able to find something that pays a lot more than down here. Who knows. Should just go back to being a dancer at the strip club or something.

Leaving early to talk to dude at Cline Tool about being south east territory sales rep. Fingers crossed, would be a nice gig.

Good luck!
If they need to know any stuff about you, ping me.

Thanks! I will put you as my first reference! I trust you will tell them the good stuff, and not about the stuff that goes on here. If they found this stuff out, who knows what might happen. They will either really like the stuff, or be distraught.

All of our stuff is good stuff. If they don't think that it's good stuff, they need to be recalibrated!!

You sure do know your stuff dude! I hope one day I can be as remarkable in stuff as you are. That's a high goal to reach though, you're alpha.

Best of luck man.

Just curious, you seem to always go for a manufacturing gig. Any reason why you don't look for something in a different industry?

Yesterday was a pretty rotten day. I was sick, the dog had blood in his stool and a couple of other negative things occurred.

The icing on the cake is that as I was driving to pick up the dog in stop and go traffic on a 2 lane, the driver in a Dodge Ram (how appropriate) SUV was fuqing with her cell phone and ran into the the i8. I took the hit and managed to position the vehicle so that I didn't end up hitting the vehicle ahead of me.

Here are is the sad photo.

1MOREMOD · 07-20-2016, 10:08 AM

Surprised it wasn't up higher and take out back window

MKSixer · 07-20-2016, 10:10 AM

Same here. Luckily, it wasn't lifted.

Nooo!!! That sucks man. Glad you're alright. Doesn't look to be too bad. I just hate having to get any body work done on cars. I have to fix the side skirt on the M3 and I keep putting it off. Such a pain in the ass.

Thanks a lot... You just willed me this car and depreciated it the next day... Asshole...

(Just a car, important thing is you walked away unscathed)

("Dodge Ram hit me" = I backed into something myself ?

it's okay, you are amongst friends here, you can tell us...)

Aatish · 07-20-2016, 10:14 AM

That sucks. Glad your ok

Is the carbon core compromised?

I hate the mere fact that it was hit in a completely unnecessary scenario. There was ample space to stop and she was just jacking around.

Hopefully they had insurance.

Is that center panel separate from the rest of the bumper? Any idea what it looks like underneath?

Thanks, Aatish.

Not that I can tell. It still drives well and there is no shimmying. I was a low speed impact with no active safety equipment deployment.

They did. I don't know what it looks like underneath, yet.

From what I'm seeing, the rear body panel and an absorber might just need replacing.

So you can have the i8 and I'll take the M4 GTS.

Should just need a bumper. That's kind of best case scenario for an accident.

This is exactly what I'm hoping. Modular construction has its advantages. Thanks Aatish!

I don't have a degree in anything. Not even an associates. I can make more money than my friends with degrees if I stay in the industry and take a career that has internal advancement. Manufacturing will always be around, and not to toot the horn, but I'm really good at it and enjoy it.

Only other thing I would want to do is open my own restaurant, because I cook some killer ass meals.

Damn dude, that's a huge bummer to hear but glad you're okay most of all. Time heals all wounds, and I hope you punched her hard enough in the throat that it will take her a long time to heal.

Lol!
My attorney said that he would have just choked her out on the spot.
