    Good thing about your reload is you can spend the night at the brewery.

    I know it was a cost cutting move but still can’t understand the thought process of eliminating the second shift mechanics. Things don’t break down after 2000?

    Yeah not worrying about a place to park when all done. Just how much I may have to move my truck after my 14 is up. Since I am familiar with where I am going I know I can putter across the parking lot at 4 mph there.

    On a brighter note. Yearly safety bonus paid this week right? Or is it next week? Sometime soon.
     
    MIT Thanks this.

    Yes. Have to work between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm now. Closed up at 6pm everywhere, if not earlier in some spots.

    To my knowledge everyone still works there, just compressed between those hours.

    does anyone know how long it takes to get your speed back up after being turned down to 62. had a minor incident that scratched the hood in January. Small 2 inch scratch. for some reason they didn't check that my speed was actually 62 until now, nearly 6 months later. I've heard that I have to wait a whole year to get turned back up to 66, then another year to reach 70! I don't think i can go a whole year being 62, too #### slow for me.

    I think its pretty bs that a <$200 rookie mistake i made in my first few months screws me this hard. I'd rather pay the #### damage out of pocket than be the slowest snail on the road
     
    Still undecided and MIT Thank this.
