whew! 331 miles today! Took an assesment and knowledge test in Marion ( went fairly well :juggle:

), came back to Toledo and met with an attorney for my wife's fight with disability :banghead:

, then went up to Jonesville, MI for an interview that I think went REALLY well! :pepper:

They already want me to come back on Tuesday morning for a second interview with the plant manager since he was busy and couldn't break away. :BANANA:

Almost ran over Bambi on the way back from Marion down on on 223 by Upper Sandusky in my wife's new (used) car! :shock:

Found out the brakes work!!!!!! Checked the gas mileage on it since I was going so far on the highway ........ 34.7MPG! :BANANA:

Not bad for a 13 year old car!

Tom and Jayme ... at least you have co-workers!! quitcherbitchin!!! :ROTFL:

Some people in higher position's haven't a real clue what the real world is like. :banghead:

Or better put I have stupid bosses

Stupid bosses do have a way of making life very rough :banghead:

I am so glad I work 3rd's and don't have to deal with ANY management or supervision, just go in, pick my jobs for the night, find a bay and cozy up to my work :pepper:

Hang in there Tom, it's the weekend and time to wash away the troubles of the week :jester:

I could use a new job, heh... I'm a quick learner.

Superiority complexes suck btw.

Since when is this a competition?

Stressful last 10-12 days with church issues and now my older sister is in ICU from her being sick, not being able to eat, she got dehydrated and kidneys were shutting down. I feel like I could sleep for like days right now. And the black skys and pouring rain right now doesn't help with being "perky" :dizzy:

About time somebody taught you something! :ROTFL:

Another good interview today. This one in Plymouth MI, tomorrow is a second interview in Jonesville MI. At least they're actually calling me back instead of just saying "we'll call you!"

Good luck Larry on the jobs. Sounds lke you have enough experience and skills to have oppurtunities. Sad part in my industry, all the companies are going under or so specialized, I would have a hard time in my field.

Thanks for prayers, sister doing better, at least she is coherent now. She is on a super low dose of a chemo drug do to her have sarcoidosis which is a auto-immune disease. She had teeth pulled three weeks ago which caused her not to eat/drink much for 3-4 days, this cause dehydration which led to slight built up of that chemo drug. She then got sick last week and wasn't drinking again thus dehydrated even more, causing more toxicity of drug which then caused her kidneys to shut down. kidneys back up and working, blood counts coming back up so hopefully she getting better. Why is it people in health care can be their worst enemies, she sees this stuff all the time being a hospice nurse.

Its like seeing nurses and Doctors standing outside the hospital smoking. Inside they preach not to smoke but they won't admit its also causing them the same harm.
I had a friend who was a nurse that was the same way, when she got sick she was the worst one ever to deal with!

We finally got 2 tech's going through the hiring loops and it should be about 1-2 months before they hit the floor for work/training :shock:

I feel like a hippy and need my hair cut bad :mrgreen:

Been a very odd couple of weeks, no matter where I go I get questions about my Jeep and what I have done with it, even at stop lights. When I woke up today my wife informed me someone was in my driveway taking pictures of it, she said it was a courtesy van from some dealership :shock:

Time to go to work, seeeeeeeeeeeeee ya :jester:

Try taking your doors off the KJ, then you would get alot more looks/comments. :SOMBRERO:

I need to do something more drastic to my Jeep. No one notices it except when I have the doors off :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 23, 2011 11:14 am

I've never taken my doors off and get plenty of comments, :ROTFL:

my wife used to roll her eyes when we'd stop for gas or be out somewhere and see someone walking towards us, she'd say" Well here goes another 30 minutes of talking Jeeps"
Then you add in Jeep workers who built these things coming and saying "This is what we wanted to build"

I need to step it up a notch! :lol:

There's maybe 60,000 people or less that live in my county veruses I don't know... a million people where you are??? Of course you would have someone say something about your Jeep everytime you step foot out of your house!! :-)r

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 23, 2011 1:23 pm

Not quite that many
Toledo actually has 287,208
The County I live in now has only 42,084,.... well 42,085 now that I moved here :ROTFL:

Nearest town to me now, 5 miles away has 3,307 is all

and I doubt my county has 60,000 :ROTFL:

The only time I take the doors off the Jeep is for the Somernite's Cruise. A lot of Ohio folk come down here. It's like traveling through time driving down HWY 27 in Somerset on Somernite's Cruise night...and also a nightmare to drive through :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:01 pm

Down home ( where I grew up and still consider it home)
the county has a population of 15,180,
the nearest town to me down there is 3.5 miles away and has 233 people in it,
just the way I like it!
Also the reason I don't have cell phone service there and have to drive 10 miles to get internet!

Oh geez...where I use to live my nearest neighbor was 2 miles away (which was my grandma). The closest Walmart or Kroger was 30 miles away...
Nothing beats living on a big farm...sure do miss the country life. very peaceful...my only entertainment was going down to the stream behind the house and playing in it (if it was warm enough and pretty outside) or riding my bike down the step gravel hill and hope i wasn't going to wreck!!!
I had internet but it was dail-up :banghead:

Mom tried to get DSL but we weren't close enough to the main line... :dizzy:

After putting close to 1000miles on the car in the past 2 weeks going to interviews around NW Ohio and SE Michigan, I got an offer this morning from a potential employer! ......4 miles from my house! :banghead:

Then came home and got another call from one in Plymouth, MI! AND ..... just got another call for a second interview at ANOTHER place I interviewed at last week! :dizzy:

Now what do I do? ....... I told the first 2 I needed a couple days to decide, so .... I can still go to the other second interview and see if they make an offer too! Then decide between the 3! :mrgreen:

Headed over to Lowes now to pick up some grade 8 bolts and O'Reilly's to get some torque converter bolts. That will give me what I need to install my engine and tranny next weekend! :BANANA:
