[Politician Spock]

To your credit, you created the fantasy world you live in.  So congrats?

I'd love to hear more about your views on the legality of income tax. What else is "illegal" that everyone else thinks is legal?  

Sitting in restaurants after they've closed.

So you're a distributor

I'd leverage this runaway inflation while negotiating pay if I were you. 

I can't live on this $50-$60k with inflation where it is, it's like you're only paying me $27k. I'm going to need at least $104k base to deal with this!

I figure I gotta put in 6 months at least before asking for a raise.

With this hyperinflation, you aren't asking for a raise, you're asking for an adjusted pay due to cost of living.

It'll show your new employer that your are on top of current events and can be counted on.

If she questions it I'll just tell her I was advised by the Biggest POS on the inner webs

 

[RokNRole]

2.5 years at my last job with a promotion.

You think this why?

All I've done in this thread is try to get you more money and pass a drug test... You just can't win with some people

You:

Unable to determine what to wear to a Craigslist job interview at 33, while piecing together rent for next month, and unable to divorce a woman from 5 years ago for whatever reason.

Me:

34 & well on my way to retirement with 8 figures by late 50's, wife, kids, comfortable lifestyle in one of the nicest areas in America. 

The above gives credit to everything you posted not being imaginary. You might want to take my advice

So start drinking your urine and negotiating more money due to hyperinflation.

 

[MarvinTScamper]

I don't need YOUR random internet advice, i need the NEXT guy's random internet advice.

glllllll

All that and nothing better to do with yourself but be a scumbag on the internet?

Sounds believable

It took me years to gain this kind of internet freedom. 

 

[Nugget]

Wrong. Many auto parts are made all over the US, especially near an auto manufacturing plant...like the GM plant in Arlington, TX.

Lot less than there used to be. Delco and Motorcraft just rebox others parts. More rubber, friction, rotating electric are made outside the US.  Try finding English speaking vendors in the basement at AAPEX. 

 

[Nugget]

I think it's more likely I would be picking up from the plant. The company I'll be working for delivers to auto shops and dealerships.

Actually I'm pretty sure only the trailer drivers will be picking up from plants for transfer to the warehouse. I will be taking out smaller loads from there.

Sounds like a parts distributor like XLParts. They don't traditionally pick up their own parts, just receive big trucks and send out hot shot deliveries to IRFs - maybe some routes to dealers.

Closer than even your sack is to the toilet water when your Metamucil kicks in

Good news brochachos.

Drug screen came back negative. Just finished up a short training shift.

[ex-ghost]

So proud of you. Now put on those big boy pants and get to work you big weirdo!

 

[jon_mx]

Never forget COLA

Yeah, but most people just call it coke for short.  Tell the employer you need a raise due to the cost of coke.  

 

[RokNRole]

Just finished my shift. Called me in with no no notice once they got the results

Congrats, seriously.

But if you truly want to move up in the world and make something of yourself, don't be a guy that has to worry about whether he's gonna pass a drug test. 

It's like when a guy fails the weed test at the NFL combine....Nobody cares that he smokes weed (our nation's stance on marijuana is obviously a joke). They care that he was dumb enough to get caught (or even that he had the lack of self-discipline that made getting caught even the slightest possibility)

 

[Phil Elliott]

You've gone from branch asst to the  manager to a truck driver. Looks like a good progression. If you work until your 80 , you might be able to retire early.

Earlier in the thread I said I wouldn't continue smoking because I will also be driving for the company.

I stopped as soon as I got news of my layoff because I knew I needed clean wee wee

I'm a dispatcher and it pays better. Dispatching is also a managing position.

Thank you to those that wish me well

Those of you that don't can go to hell

On the phone i refer to it as "that other thing"

I left the dress slacks at home since they weren't required

You know that guy that was teaching Borat about American comedy?

If I were you I would set up an appointment ASAP.
