Haha I've probably already got flags on my account for claims activity. Been a bad couple months! Had a claim on my roof, then the dude crashed into my Jeep/porch, so I have the auto and another homeowners claim (on his insurance though). It's stupid!

Also, completely agree on point 2. Every time I daily the BMW I feel like the clock is ticking faster on the next repair.

Haha this is so true. The M3 is currently apart in my garage. I had to order a new throttle actuator for it. $600. Plus, once I get it installed, I have to take it to the dealer so they can recalibrate the throttle bodies. I'm hoping this will solve my current issue.

Automobile industry isn't looking too good. The lending is becoming a bit ridiculous. That will definitely create problems down the road.

As far as business, hotel/gas station industry is well above carrying capacity, but demand for those properties is high enough to drive cost up. I'd give it a couple years. Franchising is still the way to go, but quality needs to be maintained.
I hear the brothel industry makes some pretty good money. Opinions?

It's funny you bring this up. I just had a conversation with a new car buddy about this very subject.

They are profitable businesses, no doubt. But, way to many factors to consider.

Cocaine, money laundering, and extortion are better bets imo. Lol

Coworker is sick, coldform engineer buddy took the day off to get the land ready for hunting season. I have an empty office today, so looks like today will be another fuck off day and get nothing done.

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

Appreciate it. This place has just sucked the life out of me dealing with cunts all day and their superiority complex. Have a call in preliminary interview for a project engineer position at 4pm also, so there's at least two opportunities to look into.

Good for you. It's hard to let go and make change sometimes. Good for you for not hanging on too long (or longer anyway.). You know what comes to those who wait? Not a got damn thing. Fortune favors the bold!

Amen brother. Every day sending out resume to at least 5 open positions, will either stay here in NC or move back to Detroit and be with family.

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.
