Not working today

But I can tell you who also ISN"T working (they are up there but sitting around as usual).......those lazy bastards at the bodyshop that were supposed to be fixing thier mistakes on my 82 and having it ready by now. I took it back up there almost three weeks ago to get it buffed and the stuff fixed, not done yet. I guess why get in a hurry now if they have already been paid in full. He hasn't kept a single promise to me yet...........

Sorry had to vent

Most of the problems are with users trying to "work from home" (yeah, right) not being able to connect to the company network.
If they did it more than three times a year it might be easier.....

I just had a user ask me what her password was
Did she ask you where the "any key" was when the computer prompted her to press any key?

Do you guys do it like in the movies....or is it just ring the bell, get the keys and take the car...I would imagine that there are a lot of nutcakes waiting for you when you take their ride!
I'm more on the "investigations" end of it, make phone calls and try to get them to make payment, if they don't then I send someone out to get the vehicle. But yeah, it's a lot of doorknocking. If the vehicle is out in the street or in the driveway though, it's hook and book. Buy a bus pass.

I want to play!!!!! I think I'm the only guy in the office sporting a suit & tie with road grime stained hands and dirty finger nails.
Boring distressed debt financing. Today is a perfect day for some car tinkering...tomorrow is always the "family" day. Damn the "Man" for making me be here today!!!!!

Working? Yeah I'm working. Around the house. Been doing it since Friday night. Sand, prime, & 2 coats of paint on the windows. Trying to fix an old chain saw and lawn mower Oh, and mow the lawn, fix a table and a chair.

Forget about working on the Vette.

I shoulda gone to work.

Hate to break the thread, but I like to color of your Vette. I'm thinking of painting my '77 that color--you have any more images?

At work thinking aboout getting the courage to strip the paint from the doors back. Car rolled into a tree (another story)the shop painted the front of the car but did not want do the whole car (said I was too picky) so it looks two tone! I just cant get the stones to start stripping to paint the rest of the car....never done that paint stuff...so that's what I am thinking about while I should be working!
