Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Que? I may know a thing or 2 about the industry Working sales at a Chevy dealership. Stuck on the finance aspects of it. Wanting to ensure I can make proper cash without a real issue. J Depends on the volume. Salespeople at dealerships can make some nice coin, but it is cutthroat shit. I would expect to see ~10 cars a month per salesperson minimum, as it will be commission based sales. Not sure what the market is like down there, but in places like LA, MS, GA, etc. I would expect yankees to do poorly. Here in NC there are a lot of yankees, so northern salespeople do well, and I suspect with winter birds in FL you should expect them to be more used to yankee accents, and more comfortable with salespeople from NY. Being from WNY your accent will be moderate compared to MA, NYC, NJ, etc so buyers should be more forgiving. The potential is there, but don't expect much help from fellow salespeople, and be sure the sales volume is acceptable. Volume seems to be there, they have ample salespeople there, and a good location. The yankee accent isn't too bad anymore. Certain words catch me up tho. I just want to make sure I can make what I am worth. J I still get shit when I say things I don't think of, like motor, or car, or yard, etc. I have been away from WNY for ~25 years now... You may be like me and carry various accents from places you have lived, but under it all we are still yankees, and we sound like it to locals. Coffee is a HUGE one for me. Car too. J

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
So yea shitty night at work. Long story short, got an email from being out last night (I called and emailed in advance) for an interview today. The email took on a threatening tone. I chose to speak to him about it today and he got more hostile and agressive. In turn i took the earlier date (Friday) turned my shit in and left. Brightest idea? Not so much. Best for me to avoid issues? Damn straight. J

Wait what? No, not at all. I have a picture of him and I right before the end.I wish I had been home when my mom had to put down my boxer from when I was a teenager. Some of the last pictures I have of him are with the DD 9512's I had purchased while I was deployed. J :(She had to put him down shortly before I came home. J

Then up the ante from the grass fed crap and fine corn fed beef. WAY better. Grass fed is a tree hugger idiots idea to ruin the taste of beef. Not saying you can't have a good piece of grass fed beef as how you treat the animal is as important as the diet, but if the same animal was fed corn it would be WAY yummier. I do feel sorry for you all South of IA. Steaks get funkier the further away from the Midwest you get.What does the price difference look like? Also do the antibiotics and hormones truly effect the taste and texture much?I only ask because knowing my luck I will find corn fed beef that does not offer that.JAll unrelated.Price for corn fed is cheaper, thank the stupid tree huggers for making shitty taste more money. Hormones and antibiotics can be associated with either corn or grass. Normally those are feed lot beasts and they never taste as good. Grass fed feed lots exist as well.Good to know. Time to find a good butcher. J

Go see a neurologist. They can also do nerve conduction testing for you that may help more than just an MRI will. Also see your PCM (or PCP) for the referral. Makes the insurance shit much easier to get thru. J My insurance is easy. They cover everything with zero deductible and no copay. Figure I should start with an orthopedic surgeon or sports doc. Well shit then. Go for broke with insurance like that. J at physical therapy .... DohEnjoy the TENS therapy. J

Appreciate it. I am hoping I can land a job that is closer to home, with an increase in pay, and finally fucking benefits. Taking today to get ready for interviews since some places have called me to ask if I was interested. J
