    Looks good except for the green slime, that white goo and the ditch bank weeds— what’s that all about???

    Unless you wish to do a PR on your 5 million mile driver.
    I wonder how many of those guys are thinking, "Man, I'd really would rather not be here right now."
    Because they know it's BS

    I wouldn't know. Is a flat tire an incident? Is a light out an infraction?
    What about a leaking wheel seal? Driver error? I think not.

    So— Big Daddy came up yesterday to do a bid review on a big project we are about to jump into and after it was done and he was satisfied we weren’t going to bankrupt him, he took me and my boss to lunch— during the course of lunch he asked how we thought our branch was doing— my boss said “Great” and Big Daddy asked him to drill down a little deeper and he kinda fiddle farted around and I jumped in — “Well Big Daddy here’s the numbers”
    In the last 4 months we started with a volume of about 2.2 million it’s now 13.4 million
    Our profit margin was about 13% it’s now 32%
    Our overhead was about 17% and it’s now about 11%
    Seems to me that we’re doing just fine and he agreed— said “Maybe you should be the Area Manager and I said if you even think about that I’ll be gone so F’n fast there won’t even be a vapor trail to follow”—PR is important, but performance is where the money lives

    Well, I passed along your comment and question.

    The edited version of the reply, is it all tastes quite good, what’s not to like.
    Perhaps you have poor sense of taste.
     
    dwells40, Dale thompson, Oxbow and 8 others Thank this.

    F’n Uncle Sam would get half of that raise and he don’t do nuth’n but lay on his ### and bray like wild desert burro with a broke dick — I’m happy, comfortable and could use a Polaris General 1000 XP is what I told him
