Looking for some rims.. 20"s

I like this style, do you guys have any inputs?

I don't like them.

So yesterday was a rather eye opening day. I was pulled into a meeting and told the company was downsizing and my department was losing 3 people today. I have worked for this family owned company for almost 18 years, I sat there thinking back to all the company meetings we had and all the projects I did for the owners and then it hit me nobody is safe no matter what they told us in the past. No matter how secure you think your job is at the end of the day you are just a number that may need to go to keep business going.

My department was reduced to 3 supervisors and 1 manager, guess we will see how things get restructured in the coming weeks. At one point I was the only supervisor in the maintenance department.

At least you don't have to deal with the huge corporate BS. When two of our guys got axed, I inherited their stores even though none of us are supposed to have more than 4 stores. I have 8 stores and one vacant building. Now I get twice the people bitching that I don't get stuff done and have to justify my work every day, and am held responsible for stuff I have no control over such as whether or not the store associates recycle cardboard or throw it away, or if the housekeeping crew actually does their job. The store managers are supposed to police all this stuff, but they never do so it gets thrown at us.

Well I think this is the start of coporate BS. As we grow larger expanding into other countries we are getting more spreadsheet bean counters who are guiding the owners into making these decisions. I know at the end of the day it is business, but very sad to see good people let go when it has nothing to do with performance.

I wish the monsoon season was longer this year.

I love the lightning.

It rocks !

You want it ?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

weird why is this named after me?

That was there before you good sir.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

We will lock something if needs to be locked and hand out some whoopins, but that's it. No deleting here.

I wanted to quote this for effect.

The LED light was awesome today as a work light outside

Tied it to a pole and hooray, we have light to keep working.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

You will NEVER see a Supermod doing this shit, however, we can not control what the forum head (Kevin) does. We can undo things as you will see if you visit the Skar section again, but we don't hide shit. We will lock something if needs to be locked and hand out some whoopins, but that's it. No deleting here.

Though I wish we could delete duplicate BS like Xor Y threads

Just merge them.

It DOES have to do with performance, or lack-there-of. I'm sure you see them waste money in many other facets and this is one of many reasons they lose money.

I have a large halogen spotlight I'd like to change out to LED. The battery only lasts 20 minutes when new and I'm sick of buying new batteries. Damn thing takes forever to charge as well.

You either suggested or send it to me some time ago.

Sorry I ment their work performance. Yes people waste more money on silly projects that have to impact to the end goal of making more diapers.

I'm not sure if this was directed towards me or not. I was just saying I read about that Juke and thought it was an interesting idea for Nissan to try to make a supercar using that platform. It's pretty ugly, but a somewhat ballsy venture IMO.

[ssh 924]

I have nothing to say, just in a good mood.
