BMWs are **** fine automobiles, thats why!
Now if you sold your Mustang for a Toyota or something.. then I'd seriously doubt your sanity... But a BMW, nah, thats fine

Well I made it through a week of work. **** I haven't worked 40 hours in over 4 months, LOL.
wait, I haven't worked 1 hour in 4 months
Went well.
Brief description of my job. I work for a leasing company that works with clients, like Mcdonalds, 3M, Walgreen's etc, you get the idea, who have company cars and lease them through us.
I handle the maintenance/repairs part of the cars. Like when a driver takes it into a repair shop like say Goodyear, Firestone, Sears, etc, and the shop needs to call us for any repairs, or anything beyond what the drivers maintenance guide allows, ie oil change, rotation, filters, flushes.
These clients set certain rules for approving work that we must follow. Also make sure the shop is not trying to rip anyone off or pull the wool over anyone's eyes.
So basically its not a hard job, especially considering my previous job(s) required me to call them as well, and other fleet companies. So I was the guy on the other end of the phone(the shop) So I have an idea how it works.
They had me taking calls yesterday, on my 4th day. Trainer was listening and watching over me.
Then today after lunch pretty much let me loose on my own!
Monday both the guys training me are off, I will be on my own all day!
Crazy chit, but I think I got it down, and he thinks I am doing great, actually started me on my own calls sooner than he would for most. So he has confidence in me which is sweet.
Mostly just need to get use to the software they use, and im pretty computer savy(sp)*** so its catching on quickly. I love this job!
***savy, Is that even a word?? I cant find it at http://www.merriam-webster.com/home.htm
and Google spell check is like wtf are you trying to spell

Where are you at???
I thought you lived north of me? It's 18 degrees and going down tonight to 9. Hard to tell what we really got because of all the wind and drifts but if I had to guess I say 10-12 inches. A couple of counties to the north are saying 15 inches.
The farmers almanac predicted a big snow storm the week of the 8th. I think they were just off a week. Better than today's weatherman!!
