Joe D, did I bait my hook correctly??? He He He!!!

Oh jeez! Chublil's broken out the paddle and the pot of s*** and he's a stirrin'!

Allright Madman, you have gained my respect for posting back. Obviously you have done well with your employer and thats a good thing for any tech. The one thing I would still be willing to debate with you is Hyster being the best I.C. Perhaps that would be a good beginning for another post!!

hey, MAdman, you use "Huzzah!!" as if you were/are a Ren Faire fan, is that correct? (since my son in law and daughter work at the Carolina Ren fest most years and we are both in Cacalackie,,, err The Carolinas

I am but a small large man who does not have the title manager attached to his name. Not only do I not pilot the ship. I am not even allowed to blow the whistle.I help my company where I can because they have been good to me.I appreciate the way they treat customers and employees.I have met some of the executives with my company from time to time.They are just people like you and me.I have seen them portrayed as evil ,ignorant, arrogant , and blind in some posts on this forum from time to time and feel someone from the trenches should speak up and let it be known that you can work for a large company and feel like more than a number.I feel I work for good, hard working qualified folks who want to build a good name by being the best.It's not fairyland.I work hard.I get a days pay for a days work.I receive decent wages and benifits.Not rich/not impoverished.The people who are "UPSTAIRS" in my company have my support and I hope they continue to do well.As I have benifitted so have our customers.They depend on us.We do have good things to offer that I truely feel our competitors do not. Huzzah !!

I have a counterpart in one of our foodservice divisions with the same name, just wondering. Im in the IE too, been a roadie for about 18 years and in house for about 6.

No Sir. 28 yrs. in Southern Calif.

Bob m, I gotta ask, did you recently travel to Matteson? Are you working in North Central California?

Thanks guys, hey Madman, no hard feelings but please feel free to clear the air. If you are a supervisor I wont hold it against you.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Looks like mad-managment to me talking as well. Good Call.

chublil,
No doubt you are "Spot On"
The story told is like pages out of Joe Namath's book - "I Can't Wait Until Tomorrow Because I Better Looking Every Day." It was rumored Joe Willie lived in a house (and/or apartment/pad) of mirrors, too! lol

Yeah, I know what you mean. On the other hand, it can leave one needing a drink or 3 after work. I'm 3 days behind on paperwork and reports, I have 1 Raymond 7400 down and 2 Clark C25s down. I have a roll back showing up sometime today to pick up 2 old Clarks to send to auction and another new one being delivered this afternoon.....and my boss just dropped his truck keys on my desk so I can figure out why half the trailer circuit on his company truck doesn't work! Come on 2:30!

Being a one man show has its benifits. I start at 3 am and leave around noon. Right now it 5:30am

If that's the case, I'm glad I don't work for Barloworld!

Hey, chublil, what the heck time is it out there??? At your desk rather early!

Johnr, another telling statement is the use of "Our Customers". Not "My customers". Me thinks me talking to management!!!

Joe d,
It appears it took MM over two months to come up with the ramblings in his latest post to comment on the 11.13.10 post. Guess the holidays & snow put a cramp in his style.
When someone uses the word "might" I immediately think of that very little small insect "mite" as "might" is not a very definitive word. It fits is in the category of words/phrases like: maybe, kinda', ASAP, aimin' or fixin to.

we had a really bad rain for about 5 days and everything flooded. Got snow in the high desert and the kids loved it. Finally starting to dry out and it looks like a good week of mid 70's and lots of sun. We got our free beer for the MLK holiday and I still need to finish it up this weekend!

Good morning! Not bad today but it'll be down to freezing for the next few. Atleast it'll be the weekend and I'll build a fire in the fireplace, pour a stiff drink or 3 and camp out in my recliner. How's things out there?

Good morning JoeD, hows the weather in the Houston area.

And here I thought Madman had died and gone to Hyster Heaven! Or is this the ghost of Madman Past? LOL
