Re: Off Topic 2012

It's been one hell of a day.

Work was as chaotic as it's ever been, between running around getting prepared for our supervisor meeting and taking care of some unhappy customers. We did process install payments for close to $10k today and I'm positive comping for the year 34% from last year, when someone else had the position. As long as my numbers are good, I don't get questioned.

My numbers would be even better if the whole house generator installers would get off their *** and stop being lazy. I'm about to fix this problem, though.. one quick phone call to their boss. I wouldn't normally do that, but I've given them plenty of chances to get better about contacting our customers. They're costing our company and theirs a lot of money. People are afraid to lose power, with all the storms and are looking to invest in the generators.

^ Yeah, you always have to tread lightly when you start meddling in the affairs of other departments in any organization you work in. It's always a tricky prospect. Hopefully they don't take it personally, but when the overall goal isn't being met, something has to be done.

Enter the Dragon is such a damn fine movie.

Don't think. FEEL. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!

The worst by far was snakes.

Start at the goal-line, run to the 5, across, up to the 10 across, etc. all the way to the other goal-line and back 3 times. For those that didn't know or went by a different name. All because our JV quarterback stole a cookie. We also had like 20 hills and other stuff, but that was cake compared to what I mentioned. (full-pads as well)

I'm going to try contacting my rep for Auxillary Power (company that does our electrical work) Saturday, but so far he's continued to avoid my phone calls and not return any of my calls and I haven't even been rude. I've just left messages asking him to please call me back so we can discuss a few things. We're holding up our end of the contract and getting plenty of leads on installs, but they're not even contacting customers at all and we're feeding them promises of a call within 48 hours of enterting their information in...

Just a whole bunch of crap..

I don't have that problem with any of our other guys... they're all very great to our customers and the reps usually stop by the store once every few weeks to catch up.

What a rough couple of days...I can't remember the last time I've been this drained emotionally.

Ahh yeah forgot about those, weren't so bad compared to crab crawls. We'd do crab crawls if we missed a workout, after 1st you had to do it with a 45 lb weight on top of you and add 100 yds each time you missed.

End of Sophomore year toward the Spring Game we had a few players mess with the elevator between class which broke it, all those involved did bear crawls immediately on the courtyard. Their hands were an absolute mess, bandaged up for atleast a week or 2

Diagonals FTMFW




Except we'd walk the area that was designated to jog and jog the other half, then sprint the diagonals since we focused on the sprint aspect

Since I was a lineman but wasn't a BIG lineman, these were fun. Not saying that I condoned phoning it in, but it would be pretty hard to tell if you did if you ran with some of these big guys. What got me when I conditioned was the stopping and going, like gassers, up downs, Z's. It takes a few pumps for me to get up to a sprint, I hated breaking down, like a train. These are just straight lines.

Ahh now I miss football a lot.

Wish I could have gotten an opportunity at RB now that I think of it instead of being stuck at blocking as a WR, oh well still had my FS spot.

Summer mornings, not school.


Gah, I can imagine the backlash if we were out there before 6:30 every morning. The faculty would lose it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

You know what's fun? Starting a conversation with someone then walking into another room and continuing the conversation but using nonsense words and general gibberish. They get all confused and it's always good for a cheap laugh.
