Well I am still out of work due to my wreck but work it so slow there they went from working 5 nights down to 2 nights per week.
We have 40 auto techs and all get paid commission so if there's no work there's no pay :mad:
Ehh i have a pic somewhere of me doing crap at work, but its IT work so nothing interesting and a lot of slacking :laugh: :laugh:
edit: found it, however i have a pimp 22" wide screen, new laptop and a million, 11 to be exact, computers in my cube currently so imagine computers instead of the oh my goodnessty labels. Labeling is not the job of an IT guy in my opinion ...
