I agree with Boyd. This is also why I refuse to purchase any type of Camero, Mustang, or other sports car with rear-wheel.

All CSFMBer's leaving early: Valid

ALL CSFMBer's co workers wanting to leave early: Lazy morons

I have a meeting with a customer in Palos Hills at 4pm. So I'm leaving early, but still working. Just works out that I'll be on the roads earlier than normal today


spmack/doug, what if you guys get 2 new tires at a time? If you have 2 that are decent use those 2 and get 2 new ones, then save up for a few weeks and get the other 2 replaced?

Why spend the $500 when you may be able to find used tires for about 20% of the cost that will last just a long?

I got tires on my Durango back in April...cost me about $700 bucks at Discount Tire.

As long as people are actually doing the work, I've never had an issue with leaving early. If they respect getting out, it isn't a problem. I'd rather have people working at home, as opposed to sitting in nonsense for three hours. If more people did that, it would cut down on the rush hour issue as well. But that's a perfect world type scenario. Not every work setting can handle this type of freedom. It can also cause an issue for the people that cannot do their job at home, and would like to leave as well.

That's really the biggest issue that I can see. Hell, I've got one guy in the office who doesn't even have a fucking cell phone. Says he doesn't believe in them. What the hell is there to believe? I'll never understand it.

Of course, that guy is also one of the biggest complainers when it comes to not beling allowed to telecommute. Figures.

Today's driving is Downers to Addison to South Holland to Crete to South Holland to Downers. Can't wait.

I applied for a job a couple of years ago where they gave each employee a laptop so that they could work from home if needed.

It can be good and bad. If you get the wrong management team, you are always on the clock. But that goes into a completely different area of work philosophy. I was not required to report to an office for my last job, but I would on occasion. They would laugh when I showed up at 10 AM. If I left to get there between 8-9, it would take me 2 hours to commute one way. If I got there by 10, it took 45-50 minutes. I could work on my laptop at home and be more productive.

However, that's why I'm sensitive to people that don't have that option. Everyone that reports everyday looked at me as lazy, overpaid outside sales. They would also get upset when I'd show up without pants on.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

The used route makes sense. I"ll have to check on that when I start calling around.
I'm going to drive the truck into the ground anyway...and a 97 Exploder with 128k miles probably isn't worth $500 in new tires.

and btw: the local roads are kinda shitty already.
