Less hours, office mostly, a lot of phone calls and emails, could actually do 70% of it at home, no more working in the field, maybe some field, but it is salary. The salary portion would be a HUGE pay cut, but they get monthly and a quartly bonus which brings it up to a small paycut. The monthly bonus are based on job quality and safety - so those are subject to be lost if there are any incidents in a given month.

That and the fact I am going to a 3 day school next month and a 5 day class in OK in June and awaiting 2 raises. 1 any week now and the next after my class in June.

I have a couple more years left in me working and sleeping in a pickup. Plus I would like the SS III title before advancing up so if I go off-shore or over seas I will have that in my resume. And leaves me an option of going to the Tools dept, which I need to have an SSIII in both cement and tools to be by myself on an off-shore platform. Which would secure me basically for life with this company and allow me to go higher up in management in the future.

Plus I work a 14 on 7 off schedule and moving up now would put me on a 10 - 4 schedule but I would have to cover the other guy when he takes vacations and we would both have 4 weeks vacation a year.

I will stick to working 2/3 of the year and making more money.

You have 4 posts under your belt and you come to the Rambling thread to ask questions??????

You should buy the f14's by forgestar. They look ok and I don't think a lot of people have them yet. You would be unique for sure if you buy them.

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me". Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, your ass is mine."

He lost 63 pounds that week.

How ironic, after reading Justin's story, the lead banner on the main 3G TL page was a Victoria's Secret ad......

WD,

KGC has an Auto Ord 1911A1 in stock for $480.. it's a great gun at a great price. If you're looking for a great 1911.. you can't go wrong with this one (better than 1911's that are 2-3x the price).
