I replied to your PM.

At one of our next meets I'll show you some cool stuff you can do to the 'balt. Me, Blake, and Steve have the same engine as you so you'll get a lot of ideas.

Charleston to get away from the heat for a little bit and take some pics. We would be going on Tuesday (Yes, the 15th ) in the Afternoon (2pm-ish). Anyone else up for it?

Welcome to the site!

Just be glad your hitting those curbs with hubcaps instead of nice ass rims. I scraped up my stock hubcaps pretty bad too; you'll learn the car soon enough. I haven't hit a curb in a LONG ass time. (especially since my wheels and tires came to a grand total of 1317 buckaroos )

Yeah dude... I was hella pissed. Second time I hit a huge curb was right after mom told me how much I was going to be paying for my car insurance.....That was a trip.

Fudge nuggets.... I work 10AM to 6:30 on tuesday. I'm off Sunday and thursday. So there goes my chance of fun huh. Lol.

How do you actually get the chance to go? and requirements for your car? I know my car is not that kinda material, but i always wanted to track her.

((ya'll will get lots of stupid questions from me... )) Is it just at the speedway?

Sorry for posting so much. I came home from work early... and have nothing to do. What do ya'll usually do on friday nights? First friday night I've had off in a long time.... And I just wanna chill, but all my "friends" are workin. Or don't drive and don't wanna help pay for gas. lol....

Well I noticed you're 19, so you don't need to worry about any waivers... I'm sure you won't hit 12s so you don't need a helmet or racing harness...so you just need a few bucks and you're ready to go. And yes it's at the speedway.

Yeah. Gosh Corporate America... haha. I get called in on just about EVERY day off since we are so short staffed. bastards won't hire anyone. If only I were actually doing something on my days off, I wouldn't go in. so 40+hours a week for me!

Anywho.

Welll extra hours is always good. We aren't allowed to get overtime. And not to mention how corrupt, unfair, and biased our upper management is. If I wasn't making $10.35/hr right now and probably more pretty soon, I'd be quitting.

HAHA! YOu make more than I do, and I'm a full timer now... finally. selling game systems.... dvd.... cds... mp3.... name it, my dept has it. We usually are not allowed overtime, BUT my supervisor kisses my rear... it's hilarious. BUT he still thinks he can talk down to me... asking me, since i'm so broke why did I get a car(flipped him off, and we were fine. Lmao)

Wanna talk about currupt management? Our store is the biggest and oldest store in our territory... So I can ONLY imagine....

Poo. Aparently I actually dented my RIM instead of just my hub cap when I hit a curb toooo hard.... but my hub cap is still popped on there, so it should be fine right?

I'm pretty sure my store was the first in the area too...I know it's pretty old and we're the "district learning center" for LV...so we're basically the top store in the area.

As long as you didn't bend the rim you should be okay. You gotta watch out for those curbs.

Actually as a store for the month, we are over budget. May, we sucked, but usually we are on top of it. And what is this I hear about Circuit City selling referbished ipods for 50$ less than retail? That's a bad idea. lmao.... i lost some business from that. sheesh.

Corporate loves our store ^_^ it's funny.

So you work on thursday? sheesh. I hate strange schedules.

We only sell refurbished stuff online...unless they were talking about open box?

I actually haven't got my next week schedule yet. That was more of an assumption.

It's already Sunday! Gosh I'm bored... You should have your schedule by now, yeah?

I had a customer with his daughter, and they said "next door [CC] has refurbished ipods cheaper" and it pissed me off. Why would you want something that had to be fixed? And reselling ipods? crappy.... usually they'll be all scratched on the back, and very unattractive... but that's the female in me.... hah. my 80G is amazing. I would only buy an mp3 player new. unless I knew the person i was getting it from... anyways.... rant rant.
