Flooring guys got the master bedroom complete yesterday so we didn't have to sleep in the camper. They will finish the office and guest bedroom tonight YAY. get to spend another day working for a living.
Wife's going out of town for four days starting tomorrow. Last time I was left unsupervised like that, I vacuumed the house. What kind of hijinx will I get into this time!
Was going to run this morning, but i'm not feeling all that well.
it's like a PBS kid's special.
Is that the laminate?
Not a bad Thursday here. Foggy as hell driving into work this morning. Came into work and there was a full jug of coffee, which is rare.
Yes , Pergo Max: Richland Hicory
Mornin champs!
My friend just married a chick with the last name Kundrat. How does one pronounce that, is it like cunt-rat? If so that's awfully unfortunate.

I dare you to google image search that. Double dare.
Not bad, not bad.
Dude, get some furniture slides. You're pegging my OCD to full tilt.
That's what the installers put on for the night, We have the felt sliders for after they are done
His buddy better hope she doesn't hyphenate that shit.
i forsee someone getting called cunt rag in anger in that marriage at least once.
Let's try this in the right thread...
So you know how I said my division was sold off? We were told that we'd have now product to sell. Which we do, but it's not exactly in line with what we had before, so a much harder sell. We had massive system issues for the first week of the month leaving us with an effective 3 weeks of sales. We just got our comp numbers and over half of our group isn't getting anything. For context, our normal monthly bonuses are between $2800 and $4000.
I'm shocked that we didn't have people just get up and walk out. There are multiple people who didn't get paid outside on the phone, most likely with their wives. Some are actively talking about just leaving today. I would be amazed if we don't lose half our sales team by the end of next week.
*To make this even stupider, Fidelity and Schwab both have large regional centers on the other side of the highway (literally same street) and are actively hiring. Fidelity has taken two people (of 13) since Labor Day.

do it stoney! and smash the print center on your way out!
Morning Monkeys.
I ordered my suit for Halloween that I will also wear to the company holiday party and any other occasion I can think of. It's pimptastic. I got the charcoal gray with white pinstripes, but they only have a pic of the black/white.
I still need some shoes, dammit. I was tempted to get an 18" feather for my hat, still might. This is only my second suit ever.
Stoney, you need to leave an upper decker, then walk.

As my dad used to say: there are no bad products, just bad salesmen.
That dude could sell bacon to ISIS.
Let everyone else walk, negotiate a better base & commission, profit.
The flock of griping co-workers heading to local competition will devalue everyone from your firm anyway.

Anyone could do this. Those guys are a bunch of babies.
You would assume so, but they are so actively hiring it's not even funny. We have all been solicited regularly by recruiters from the firms. People are still getting really good comp packages.
As for bad products, the guys who hit their numbers are regularly guranteeing things and saying things that could probably get the financial regulators to bat an eye. All things that can cost you your licenses. The last guy to be on that train brought in a huge amount for the firm, including a couple of lawsuits. It's just a matter of time.

I just found out I have a job interview tomorrow. From a friend. This is the first I've heard of such things. 
At the place you interviewed a couple weeks ago? They didn't just give you the job yet ffs?
Naw! Not yet, travesty huh? I'm kind of hoping they give it to me. It represents a great leap forward.
Scotland!
I don't see the reason in here why you haven't walked across the street to the other firm yet.
Details?!
Just got an email from the CEO that bonus percentages and 401k contributions are going up.
I know this is the wrong spot, but i can't start new posts for some reason. Is there a way to check if my privileges have been revoked or something?
(serious post)

What "privileges"? This is RM....we are all members of the unwashed middle class hoard that are subservient peons to BV.
That's awesome. I spoke to ours at the bbq last month and we did record numbers this year. A raise and 401k kick in, wish it was the cash bonus they lied to me about when I was hired. But I haven't seen a raise in some time, so I aint gonna bitch.Just got an email from the CEO that bonus percentages and 401k contributions are going up.
well, then I just an eejut, and can't find the 'post new thread' button! Where the hell is it?
Decent pay up until now and the schedule is hard to beat.
every day must be like glengary glenross at your job......
get them to sign on the line which is dotted.
My Organ arrived. Client wired the money to me 12 minutes later. His Jag should be there Friday. Pending Customs...
Yessssss
I somehow feel this is directed at me? I am not sure that if you live in the Bay Area you could be anything but an A's fan. Whatever....Yessssss
