  1. Ugh, I cannot wait to enjoy my days off of work. Last Thursday and Friday were filled with job interviews, Sunday with car things I have been putting off due to lack of time and interest, now tomorrow I have to go submit my signed job offer, background check consent and then off to Concentra for pre employment drug screening. Friday is Williamsport day to install the AWD rear bumper, Saturday work. I put in my letter of resignation at the warehouse today, June 27th I start my new job. dowanttimetomyselfdamnit COREYYYY, if you're out there are you going to be around Sunday? Maybe we can get us and Mike together so I can dremel the fawk out of the rounded ABS bolt heads. Only gawd damn day I have to really take care of it. :(
  2. Oh come on, you have a black Volvo. Slap on a pair of camo shorts and go pound the puddin'. :lol:
  3. One of these times when I visit a hardware store I'll get another one. It's not something I choose not to do, just one of those things that you always forget about until something gives you reason to do some searching. :lol:
  4. Anyone check out The Lincoln Lawyer yet? I thought it was a pretty good movie, might be worth a watch for you.
  5. YES the printing career shall continue, accepted an offer for a label printing company for press operator 3 which is the highest level of operator.....will have my own UV press to run 2 weeks is going in at the warehouse tomorrow thank god
  6. home depot as corey said, 3/8 flare plug fits like a glove dont forget to remove the coupler from the sas bung i dont have a cotter pin in lol the arms never popped off so i dont worry ab it might be due to the wastegate preload :o
  7. Ah, feels much better reducing clutter.....two pictures..... I assume the brass fitting will be alright I used?
  8. Now to plug that pesky open dp bung. I will figure out it's size and such tomorrow and take care of that.
  9. Thanks man, I can tell you one thing....I was eating McD's and other similar places almost every day. I feel so much less "full" now it's unreal. I still visit Subway from time to time though, Jared says it's ok though. On work days I usually have a Sausage breakfast sandwich, Orange Juice and about 8 bottles of water over an 8 hour shift. It's crazy how much simple things like walking can help, I never really paid much mind to the fact before.
  10. Mac n cheese at 12:15 AM? I think so. Also, In 6 weeks I've gone from 233 to 215 lbs. I'd like to shed another 15. Aside from warehousing being extremely labor intensive I've been continuously staying away from fast food, I wonder which has the most to do with the rapid loss. Edit: I usually hover around 195, lay offs kill me though by about 40 lbs. Hopefully those times are gone for good.
  11. haha dave, funny scratch that 3 in one day, one thurs at 10 am, thurs 130 pm, fri 11 am im taking one of them damn it.
  12. busy day thursday, 3 interviews set up for printing press operator positions i want to get back into printing so bad, thats where ive spent 8 years of my work life
  13. I'm new to the warehousing business, I don't know if that's the best way to describe it or not. Basically a warehouse that supplies roughly 200,000 cases per day to Giant in an extremely timely manner.
  14. Found it: http://york.craigslist.org/pts/2409911903.html
  15. I remember seeing a guy on CL somewhere in PA that has a full set in good shape from an SE he parted........can't find it now though.
  16. I love those wheels for some odd reason. I wonder if they clear 302's.......
  17. Yeppers, more widely known as C&S Grocers. They're the main distribution center for Giant, that's where all our product goes. They have a 24 hour delivery guarantee from the minute a store submits an order to us.
  18. Good news today.....I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I took a trip to work to see if my met my quota for the 2nd week in a row and indeed I did! That means a few things, first off my base rate of pay is now increased by 2.50/hr in a matter of only 5 weeks, tomorrow I graduate training and am considered an "Incentive D2S Selector", I am eligible for night shift (far less pallet jack traffic than day shift) and I can start reaching incentive pay. Basically say I average 110% for an entire week (paid weekly), ~18/hr. will be the rate on my check. I make my own future now, there's guys making over 30/hr. It's all on the person, they control their performance level. I've been hanging around 120% for the past two weeks but have been considered a "Trainee" only getting a flat base rate. Had I have been "Incentive" that would've been ~21/hr. I am going to kick butt this week and with any luck will begin night shift at the beginning of next week. I'm really excited for that, day shift has ~250 selectors where night shift only has about ~45. Everyone there hates night shift, good news for me because I'm all about it. It's tight as stuff in the huge ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD warehouse with ~250, 16ft. long pallet jacks racing around. This is what the jacks look like, only ours have a 4 ft. pallet rack mounted to the front. They are a little tricky to navigate sometimes. Ours aren't as clean either. Some have flat spots in the trailing wheels and that makes for a very annoying day. It's days like those where you go through shrink wrap like crazy. Most of the time you have 2, 7ft pallets behind you by the end of your assignment. Power steerings, suckers float up to like 10 mph. And it still takes about 6 minutes to drive from warehouse end to end. The one day another trainee got a battery changed and forgot to put the battery guard back in........thankfully no one was standing in the battery's way when it flew out around a corner. That being said the company's turn over rate is insane. I must have seen 10 guys get fired for dirty piss tests since I started. Anytime your jack makes contact with a stationary object you get a drug test and an accident report, possibly a one day suspension or termination on the spot depending upon circumstances. I can surely understand the company's reasoning though, the jacks are deadly pieces of machinery.
  19. Hey, your grill went out today. Sorry for the delay. :)
  20. I'm off tomorrow and Monday, are you around?
  21. Extra money = blow on car stuff or = pay down some CC's. Damn it, I haven't bought anything fun in months aside from the 99 XC grill the other day at the junkyard and I have a set of new style center caps to match in the mail to me. <_<
