Red face

Thanks for the clarification Mike - I always think of you as friend, not foe, so I was a little

Should have known better - I owe you Guiness.

then clarify DUKK exactly who do you consider a foe?
I see a whole lot of people looking around for scapegoats but i think if we all soul search really deep we are ALL guilty of being THEM at some point.
even the thread starter.

Clarification of a Foe:

Anyone who questions the DUKK??

Holy man it is not all about you and like I said before, I am not attacking you per say just trying to spark some meaningful coversation so "we" can all learn from one another.

hahahaha, that sounded like a fortune cookie

You know if you add the phrase "Between the sheets" any fortune cookie will make more sense.

EG:

Very true, the THEM are the lazy ****s that are to lazy or to full of themselves to better themselves, learn more and improve.......Between the sheets.

See what I mean?

I'm just tired of egotistical asshats who are hacks and don't care about their work. It's killing the industry and driving customers away and they can all kiss my ***. I will keep calling them worthless hacks every chance I have.........

Here's a story...

In 1995 I was attending Rockford Fosgate school in Richmond, BC. I worked until 9:00 pm then drove to Vancouver from Kamloops. I arrived at 1:00 am, my boss at the time gave me time off with out pay and would not pay for any expenses etc. I slept in my car, because I am cheap, and in the morning school started at 9:00 am. I was washing up in the lobby washroom. Ron Trout, the vice president of Rockford corp. at the time, was washing his hands at the time. He asked me why I looked like , I told him about the past night and I would be sleeping in my car for the 2 day seminar. He took me out of dinner that night and bought me a hotel...the skills I learned at the school I was "testing" the skills the night when I got home, worked all night just to try the new techniques...on my own time...for free...if you think you would not do this or feel this is too much work...well Tim summed it up.

I am not bragging, but everyone has to pay your dues...I find rookies do not want to pay their dues...I am a sales rep and technique support. I still go to stores, work on cars for free in the evenings to better my skills and learn new things. I do not get directly paid for bettering myself...I do not see the style of expanding your skills anymore. Most employees think the employer owes them for working for them.

Most of the people who paid their dues and worked their way up are still around and making a living. The "what is in it for me" people come and go. But I still believe that there are great jobs out there for people with work ethic and drive...I know a dozen people looking for this kind of employee...

If a guy has paid there dues and have some skills, they can easily make $50,000 a year...and is worth every penny!!

I hope I do not offend anyone...cheers!

I am not a keyboard commando, if anyone want s discuss this, call me at 1-604-787-5935 ask for James.
